The Blog Where Memes Go to Die

So, I done been tagged by Vance of Tapeworthy as part of the 7 Facts Meme.

Here are da rules: Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE . . .

Fact the First: I almost never get emotional in movies, but the end of A League of Their Own always makes me cry. I watched it last night, and I got choked up about the time older Geena Davis and older Lori Petty saw each other across the room.

Fact the Second: I auditioned (and got a call back for) the lead role in THIS movie when I was a kid. I really wanted to be an actor until I got to high school and realized I wasn't any good.

Fact the Third: Until about the end of my senior year of high school, I was about 280 lbs. (give or take). I lost a bunch of weight as a Freshman in college, and now I'm about half the size I was then.

Fact the Fourth: My heroes are as follows: Roger Ebert, Matt Singer and Alison Wilmore, Bill Bryson, Sarah Vowell, Tina Fey, and Claudia Bruni and Emmanuelle Seigner and Asia Argento (really, any slightly Eurotrash-y actor/singer/model whose persona is more or less tied up in outrageousness and/or sheer ballsiness)

Fact the Fifth
: I think glasses are sexy.

Fact the Sixth: The first R-rated movie I saw was Sleepy Hollow. The first R-rated movie I saw in theaters was Panic Room. The first PG-13 movie I saw in theaters was Godzilla. My parents didn't much care about violence as long as there were no boobs. (Ironic upon reflection, no?)

Fact the Seventh: James McAvoy is tied to a bed in my basement in only his underwear with a sock taped into his mouth so as not to worry the neighbors (not really but maybe if I will it into being it will happen OMG wouldn't that be amazing I would literally never leave the house because why would I need to?)
TMI . . . ?

Now, I know I'm supposed to tag 7 people, but I feel like anyone who is going to do it already has. So, if you want to do it and haven't been asked, I tag you . . . .

Now!

If your "willing" plan actually works, can I come visit you sometime? I'll bring money. Lots and lots of money. If it's still worth anything by then, of course.

Haha, number six applies to my family too. I could watch pretty much anything but when the topless scene came up in Titanic, my parents made me put a blanket over my head. Very funny in hindsight.

Congrats on losing so much weight! I could never have that much dedication.
