I’ve been tagged by Glenn Fleishman<\/a> for the latest blogger meme du jour. I’m supposed to list five things that most people don’t know about me. <\/p>\n

1. My only run-in with school authorities came when I was in kindergarten. I was suspended for one day for biting Lee Kramer, a friend of mine (yes, we’re still friends) on the hand. Basically, at recess there was a shopping cart full of balls (for four-square, handball, etc.) and it was always a struggle to get the first ball. The one day I got a ball first, other kids tried to take it away from me — I got upset and bit the hand closest to me, which was Lee’s.<\/p>\n

2. I didn’t got to my first large-scale concert until I was 16 and saw MC Solaar at the Pal\u00c3\u00a9o Festival Nyon<\/a> (Switzerland) in 1998. <\/p>\n

3. I’m obsessed with geographic oddities. In particular: Nauru<\/a>, Pitcairn Islands<\/a>, but also Kaliningrad<\/a>, Northwest Angle<\/a> (Minnesota), and Sealand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. I really love international pop music (particularly rap) in languages that I don’t speak. My iPod contains tracks from Tarkan<\/a>, Lee Ssang<\/a>, Toe Tag<\/a> and lots of others. <\/p>\n

5. I actually prefer wearing suits to wearing tuxedos, because as an amateur musician all throughout high school and college, I had to put on the penguin suit on a regular basis. I don’t have very many opportunities to wear suits. (I have a fantasy that one day I’ll get a swanky three-piece suit, or preferably, a zoot suit<\/a>, complete with a fedora.)<\/p>\n

I tag Paul Boutin<\/a>, Alex Farivar<\/a>, Daniel Zhu<\/a>, Marie Javins<\/a> and Dallas Bluth<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
