Annnnnnd… awake.
OK, as long as we’re up for no reason let’s try to do something interesting. Reply with one thing you think #NobodyKnowsAbout you.

For example, #NobodyKnowsAbout me being the Atari Midwest Regional Space Invader Champion when I was 16.

How about you?

There it is.
No matter when I go to bed, I wake up between 3:00 and 3:30 am my time.
Anybody else?
Why?

Nobody knows I was on the Bozo show when I was a little girl and got to toss a ring in a game. I won a giant hollow tootsie roll filled with candy. #SpoutibleInsomniaClub #NobodyKnowAboutMe

#NobodyKnowsAbout me & the time over 10 years ago when I almost broke my ankle at a John Mayer concert. 🎶 He came into the audience & I stood on my seat which was a folding chair to see him. All was good until I slid back too far and the seat went up. Thank goodness my ankles are skinny 😊

#NobodyKnowsAbout me having won a song contest for the movie "The Campaign".

You had to write a campaign song for the Galifianakis character and record yourself performing it to enter.

As a dare at work, I entered but recorded myself from the neck down so I couldn't be recognized.

And I won.

Nobody knows that I entered an art show that featured "promising young artists" from local high schools. It was a continuous-line still life with glass vases and a Chinese evergreen plant. I haven't attempted continuous-line drawing since.

I broke my nose after running into a door in the dark. After surgery to fix it, I told the doctors I didn't need pain meds. When I got home, I had to bike in the rain to the pharmacy with the tampon-like packing up my nose cuz the pain got bad and my car was still at the hospital.

The house I was born in was adjacent to the very first WalMart store. We used to dumpster dive at night and the goodies were pure trash of course but we delighted in playing with old torn purses and broken bird cages.

At 12yo I fell off a cliff at the bottom of a canyon on the banks of the Rio Grande and hiked out with a compound fracture of my wrist. I was more brave then... 😆

Few people new I took the black rubbery thing off the Atari controller and suctioned it on my head to see what that would be like and I had a red circle on my forehead for 3 days after, to the delight of my classmates, so, samesies!

{#id:318767#} attending the opening of the very first McDonald's in the Soviet Union on January 31, 1990. I still have the little flags, cups, menu and znachki that they were handing out. It was very surreal.

#NobodyKnowsAbout I tracked down a bunch of films and original prints that went missing when a local film festival suddenly shut down. One of the filmmakers I helped was a then unknown Peter Jackson who had just started shooting "Heavenly Creatures".

Same here. It's a sign of genius to be up in the silence of the early morning. Whilst the common man and woman rolls about in bed gases. #NobodyKnowsAbout me...hmm, I have a decent singing voice, but I was shamed out of it by a Jr. High girlfriend...and it crushed what little self-confidence I had.
