    I was part of documentry on the NICU at a D.C. area hospital when my daughter was born. it starts off with her being born


    the reviewer from the Washington Post said that the babies were too beautiful to be believeable. along side the review was a picture of my kidlet. I guess all premmies are supposed to look like rats. could i help it that my baby girl was gorgeous?


    it was really weird when it aired I had people that i hadn't seen or talked in ages (one since second grade) as well as friends and aquaintances calling me to say "hey, you're on t.v." and i had to respond with "yes, I know it. and I'd really like to watch it so could you call back later?"

    Winning the middle school talent show contest lip synching to Judas Priest. I was Rob Halford. Crowd gave us a standing ovation. We definitely had the least talent. ;)

    This place is probably as close to fame as I'll ever get (more people know me here than in my real life:D). And I'm 100% cool with that. :)
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    They didn't use my name in the newspaper but I was reported lost in the North Cascades a few years ago. I wasn't lost, actually, just a little off track. I was on the trail home when the mountain rescue team caught up with me.

    I post in our own poetry page quite a lot. Do a search on my name, look up "posts started by" under Poetry, Prose, Music and Art, and you'll find most of them. Otherwise, I have some at http://www.poetry.com under my real name, Lis Baumann (not to be confused with Lisa Baumann, no relation). For the record, I don't care for poetry.com -- they're a bunch of money grabbers. I just post my poems there for the 15 minutes they get me.

    Funny thread.

    There was an article about me and my brother in the Finger Lakes Times, they interviewed us because we were hitchhiking through New England and Canada.

    I was on TV in Radford,Virginia. I testified in a murder trial against the murderer. Was on for about 45 seconds. Piece of shit actually told me he did it. His c**t of a defence attorney said that I made up his confessing to me for the reward money and for my "15 Minutes of fame" douche bag got life +5

    I vomitted on Boston's Freedom Trail after a night of drinking. So I figure if I vomitted on something famous then I would vicariously be famous? It was right in front of Paul Revere's house too. I think that should earn bonus points.

    Paul Revere's horse would be even better. ;)
