Help, I'm covered in Big Green! Just like on "You Can't Do That on Television"
I've had a strange amount of Dartmouth contact today. When I visited my parents last weekend, my mother had re-framed my (large, Latinate) diploma, as the previous frame had been broken by the cat. I took this new framed leviathan of a document home and have yet to decide exactly what to do with it, as very few people display their diplomas in their apartments, and I don't have an office.
Then, I got a call from the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, which is publishing my article (about being the first woman captain of the boxing team) in July, but is going to pay me sooner! How nice is that? They run a quite decent magazine up there in the frigid north.
Finally, I got an email from the alumni relations folks, wanting my answers to some "where are they now" questions for a class newsletter. My answers will be printed next to my picture from the freshman year "Green Book." And here are those answers...
*Where you lived FRESHMAN year: East Wheelock
*Where you lived SENIOR year: Phi Tau
*Where you live NOW: NYC/Spanish Harlem (a.k.a. "SpaHa")
*Major FRESHMAN year: Making out with girls.
*Major SENIOR year: Philosophy
*What you're doing NOW: I'm a freelance writer, spoken word performer (like Spalding Gray, but not dead!), alternative comedian, occasional model, and general urban revolutionary. I also run the Williamsburg Spelling Bee at Pete's Candy Store (a bar) in Brooklyn.
*Do you still have The Green Book on your bookshelf?: Totally.
*Biggest regret about picture submitted for the Green Book (if any): The photo was really, really dark, so my hair blends into the background. Also, the original nickname I submitted was like "Ultimate Fighting Champion Grand Emperor of All That is Good and Loquacious, Plus Luxembourg," but the Green Book called me and said that was too long, so I asked if I could have "Q6L?@&C3P0" and they said yes.
*Biggest difference between you when your Green Book picture was taken and you now (can be physical or personal--use your imagination!): I've finally hit puberty!
*Any other information you would like to share about what you're up to/what you've accomplished/where you're headed: You can listen to me on iTunes - just search for my name. I am also engaging in shameless PG-13 rated acts on www.jenisfamous.com
*Who or what are you most excited to see at our five year reunion this June?: Whose ass has gotten fat! Of course.
