I’ve been tagged, which I hate but it’s probably better than not being tagged, right? No one wants to be last picked for dodge ball. So five things you don’t know about me, mainly because, who the hell am I anyway?

1) During high school I dated the junior prom princess, which later made me the senior prom king.

2) Defying the wisdom of the crowd, we were voted “best couple,” or something, only to both come out during college as gay.

3) The bedspread in my dorm room matched the curtains. Of course.

4) As editor of my college newspaper, I was once stopped by a bicycling student who skidded to a halt only to tell me he hated my columns. “Thanks,” I said . . . Doh.

5) After I wrote about my coming out, the bicyclist sent a “remember me” note apologizing and saying the article helped him decide against suicide.

The next five unwilling participants in this game of tag:
Danny Sanchez, Patrick Beeson, K Paul Mallash, Will Sullivan (who was already tagged, but heck) and John Robinson.

If you're wondering: What is all this?
