I rarely to never watch the slew of crap the networks call "television shows", unless I cannot escape for some reason or someone's bogarting the remote. I tend to watch the "true crime"/"forensics" shows, but even those are becoming too predictable in nature now. I try to stick to watching films & docs on IFC and Sundance.

"Church Of The SubGenius" (However, I do also carry a card for "The Partridge Family Temple")

The Insidiously Evil Blockbuster Video, Media Play, a few temp secretarial jobs, a telemarketing firm from the lower depths of Hell, Hot Topic (for 2 entire days! Yes, you read that correctly. 2 WHOLE DAYS! Woohoo!) By then, it had occured to me that working for large chain retail stores is not unlike being sodomized with a crowbar. So I moved onto Cyberstache - the first nifty neat-o Internet cafe to open in midtown Atlanta. This was all a few years ago, as I'm now being deemed "disabled" and waiting for SSI. *tumbleweeds blow by*

A VERY brief stint at Dekalb. Again, my health (or lack of such), prevented my finishing.

Freshman & Sophomore Years: Brookwood H.S., Junior & Senior Years: Central Gwinnett H.S.

Several years ago, when my health permitted, I was accepted into the very prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from whom Orson Welles (and many, many other amazing people) were alumni. Unfortunately, only a couple of months before I'd be moving to the Pasadena campus, my body decided to do some acting of its own - playing Judas to the hilt.
