Dear lord, yes. No, I don’t share. Not even my husband knows about this one—and the folks I’m still in touch with from high school seem to have forgotten, thank god.

Yes. And in the interest of full disclosure, (so you all understand what you're getting yourselves into, playing improv with me), due to undiagnosed mental illness(es) [I’m now up to 7-yeah me], I once lost my mind; abandoned my children to their respective fathers, (this should tell you something), ran away from home, and changed my name.

In fact, Lani, when I met you in Anchorage, I was in that run.

Diagnosis and the complete proper treatments are a beautiful thing. I'm still in recovery-every waking moment of every single day.

No, but I relate to the feeling. 😀

The thought of doing improv terrifies me, so no. I have not done anything more humiliating than how I assume me trying improv would turn out. 😂

Yep. My "devoutly agnostic" Dad came to a church function specifically to hear me play guitar. I forgot to bring the cable that plugged into the amp.

I’m going back in time to support you.

YES! And it involved my high school group of friends, a dare with a heaping dose of peer pressure, and an improv-adjacent game involving a pirate working in an ice cream shop.
