• One summer I lived with a drug dealer, a convict out on parole (for drug & manslaughter charges), a homophobic gang member with an underage girlfriend who had a fake ID that allowed her to work as a nude dancer, and a gay man dying of AIDS and his large boa constrictor. We somehow all ended up renting rooms in the same house at the same time. Believe it or not, we got along great and had a good time except for that one time when the dealer's supplier threatened to come back with "his boys" to teach us a lesson, causing the ex-con to panic and load his Glock so he could shoot anyone who came to the door.

That should fill all five of my slots, but just to oblige the format...

• I wrote my first web page in 1993.

• I owned one of the top 3 search results in several search engines for "Healthcare Internet" in the late 1990's to early 2000's.

• I once met Steve Wozniak and Kevin Mitnick over dinner at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

• I can write backwards in cursive.

• and of course, began medical and social transition at 38 🤯

2) Moved to a country with no job or prospects of finding a job (I could barely speak the language) to be with a girl

5) Cracked my egg at age 42

3. Taught Toyah Wilcox (the pop star) to juggle on TV.
4. I was an extra in a TV show - a young vicar.
5. Sledged down Great Gable in the Lake District in a plastic bag.

1)I climbed up a light pole at 7th & Broadway in downtown LA during championship parades for the Lakers,Dodgers and Raiders during the 80's. So I could get on TV.

2) I went to punk shows in Hollywood and East LA. Usually the only Black person there.

3) I told no one that I was moving out of LA until 2 weeks before the move.

4) I chopped off my long hair at age 19.

5) I once told off my boyfriend by shoving a sanitary pad into his face. He was on his period😂

3) Grew up exploring huge cities and wild wooded areas alike by myself as a child.
4) Wrote some books.
