This is the part where
I look like an idiot - intentionally. Even though many of us do nowadays,
I find it strange to have a site all to myself. It needs your all-important
touch - namely, recounting times that I have made a fool of myself (there
are naturally plenty to choose from). I welcome any and all tales of
hijinks and hilarity, Emilyisms, anything. Send them on, and ridicule
at will if they are not promptly posted.
Since this site
is brand new - I will include answers to some of the most common questions
I've received in recent years, in hopes they will assist in keeping
me humble in the meanwhile:
Q: There are a lot
of pictures of you dancing with a stick on the site. Doesn't that hurt
if you drop it or swing it the wrong way?
A: You bet it does. Not as much as when you jump over it and land on
your own toe, though.
Q: Is that your
real hair?
A: It is. Not all that mystifying….just grows out of my head that
way.
Q: Did you really
break your nose onstage?
A: Yes. Yes I did.
Follow-Up Question:
What Happened? Did you collide with another dancer?
Answer: Nope. Did it all on my own.
Follow-Up Question:
Did it do that Marsha Brady thing and swell up like crazy?
Answer: Yes. Yes it did. Cheaper than rhinoplasty though.
Q: Do you really
still own a teddy bear?
A: His name is Blue Bear. Get it right. And that's Woodstock. Softie's
in California (he didn't have a coat).
Q: Did you really
do Bikram Yoga for 30 days straight?
A: 32, actually. Never skipped a posture, never missed a day. It's not
nearly as insane as it sounds, and completely wonderful. Some people
practice almost every day, year round.
Q: Are you really,
well…..a Nerd?
A: Wear it with pride, my friend! Dance Nerd, Producer Nerd, Math Nerd,
Science Nerd, Puzzle Nerd, Chocolate Nerd, Food Nerd, Book Nerd……take
your pick!
Now, come on friends.
I know you can do better than these! Bring them on!
