1. I'm afraid to fly, but do it anyway.
2. I have a major case of performance anxiety.
3. Hardly anyone who knows me knows that I play the fiddle.
4. I've performed in public exactly ONCE. The hired band at a corporate Christmas party should NEVER hand the microphone to someone who has had 16 buttery nipple martinis.
5. I was a published author by the age of 15, but haven't written much of anything since.
6. In college, I was a die-hard Republican.
7. I was once interrogated by the Secret Service for a college prank pulled at a rally in which a Republican presidential candidate was speaking.
8. I was once denied a security clearance to work at an event a certain president was speaking at.
9. My ancestors include Irish slaves in Barbados and Danish royalty, but mostly just a whole lot of German farmers.
10. I'm horribly allergic to onions.
