10 Things

Via the fascinating [livejournal.com profile] royalbananafish

10 Things I've Done Which I'm Quite Sure You Have Not
(Which is actually a bit harder than I expected. . . )


1. Directed a full-length play and a one-act play, stage-managed an un-cut production of Hamlet and played the Sailor in Act IV -- and completed a four-class, all-A's college semester -- all at the same time.

2. Directed a film about high power rocketry, shooting exteriors on a prison farm, while pregnant.

3. Wrote a Masters Degree thesis about sacred prostitution in the ancient and modern worlds (challenging many popular beliefs).

4. Divorced a spouse, then proceeded to amicably share a duplex with him for more than four years.

5. Was ordained as a Grail Priestess

6. Died onstage with Ian McKellan

7. Read The Romance of Atlantis

8. Started a tongue-in-cheek urban legend that persisted more than a year after the story was first told.

9. Was court-martialed (for mutiny) at Girl Scout camp

10. Created my own writing system at age 12 and continue to use it 28 years later.

I wouldn't know where to begin... ;-)

Don't be fooled into thinking I'm fascinating.

But maybe when [livejournal.com profile] queenofhalves is in town, we can all get together :) That's the next time I'm in Seattle, though a large part of that trip will be dedicated to Mystery School stuff.

I'd like the details on all of these. Maybe a series of posts?

Died on stage with Sir Ian- Wow!

OMG OMG OMG

I also have read The Romance of Atlantis! I think I still have a copy somewhere! I've never met anyone else who knows that book! *swoons in shock*

Very cool list.
The thesis sounds especially fascinating. What was... well, the main thesis statement?

Also, what's this about a writing system?
