I'm not sure where I was born...I think it was in a hospital. Wherever it was, I know I didn't spend much time there. After I was born, my parents brought me home and put me in dresses for the first two years of my life because they mistook me to be a girl - an honest mistake given the fact that I was born with three feet of hair braided into pigtails. At the age of seven, I was knocked unconcious on the playground while participating in a game of "Brick Toss." When I came to, some twelve years later, I found myself standing on a brightly lit stage, I had an enormous beard on my face, and I was surrounded by a few hundred people - ten of which were laughing. This was a rather pleasant experience for me and so I've been trying to re-enact it ever since.
