| | I have been tagged by Devon -- challeged, dared even -- to come up with five things you might not know about me. This will be hard, since the paparazzi follows me constantly and now everyone knows everything. But here goes:
1.) My middle name is Pendleton. William Pendleton, after whom I was named, was second in command to General Thomas Jonathon "Stonewall" Jackson during the Civil War.
I couldn't find a picture of William Pendleton, so here is one of "Stonewall."
Addendum: My brother's name is Thomas (although his middle name is not Stonewall).
2.) I play the tenor saxophone, but before that I played the clarinet. In second grade, I became the youngest-ever student in my school district not just to join the District Honor Band, but to play first chair. To date, I think I still hold that record.
Sexy.
3.) Speaking of lasting but useless glory from my childhood...When I was in eighth grade, some friends and I participated in our school lip sync contest. We dressed like idiot geeks and "performed" a rendition of "Earth Angel" so nerdy that "Weird Al" Yankovic would have been proud. It was critically acclaimed and the audience loved us. Somehow we didn't win the grand prize - but to this date they still show the video of our performance to students when announcing the annual contest.
I'm the cute one.
4.) In college for about two weeks I was the lead singer of a band. We were called Actors Out On Loan. We never performed live, but we did cut a Christmas EP. Eventually, though, like any good rock band, it turned out that the other guy and I hated each other so much that we had to break up. Seriously, he turned into a real dick.
(No pirated audio available...not sure why.)
5.) I possess impressively decent drawing skills. When I was young, I wanted to be a cartoonist. When I had free time, I made animated short films, drawing all the frames out by hand. I could have been someone...I could have been a contender...
I know it's dated. Don't judge.
And now I get to tag someone...I would tag Trevor, but evidently his blog has ascended to Blog Heaven, so I instead tag my sister Jennifer. You're it!
