Craziest thing I've ever done: go to a Marilyn Manson concert; went clubbing at Club Some til 7:00 AM.

Most Embarrassing Moment: wore a white tuxedo on my flight from California to Kansas. That was when I was in the 3rd grade; my aunt got me the tux and made me wear it home because she thought that I would never wear it(which is true!). I thought I could change at the airport but my luggage was already loaded onto the plane, so I went home crying with shame!!!
