No, literally, this is used material. But, I'm trying to post some of the better blogs from my old myspace, this being one of them....
{insert wayne's world hand-wobbly thing]
When you do a show like the real world, often times, you're subject to random questionaires from Bunim/Murray or MTV. When we were doing The Duel, we were sent this one so that production would know a little about us castmembers. This is an example of one of the questionaires. Usually cast members will respond to the question below with answers like:
"talk at colleges, bar gigs"
or
"ROCKIN LIFE!"
or even better yet
"acting"
This is what I wrote
What have you been up to since the show? (School, work, any fun
accomplishments, charity work, etc..)
God, questions like these make me feel like I'm back in
Minnesota for Christmas and I'm at a dinner party where no one wants
to admit that I'm gay in public. "So, Tyler, what have you been up to
all these years on the East Coast. Any girlfriends yet?"
I'm always confounded by comments like these. Is the limp wrist, in
which i'm holding my martini, not indication enough of my raging
homosexuality?
In an effort to avoid the inherent shame insinuated by such
questions, illustrating my complete lack of upward movement in my life
since we wrapped in Dec. I'll say, for the record, of course, that
I've accomplished a number of things, including, but not limited to:
Picking up an addiction to pain killers, similar to that of Judy
Garland's
Slept with no less than three self-identified "heterosexual men"
Had one of the models from the ill-concieved show, 8th & Ocean, steal
my Ipod
Perpetuated the common belief among viewers of my season that I would
gladly sell Svetlana into serfdom at a Stalin-era gulag if given the
chance
And last, but not least, written a brilliantly sarcastic show to pitch
to the gay mafia, with the hopes of becoming an Icon in the gay
community
