I used to be a very inventive and intricate freestyling dancer at discos, wedding receptions, and parties, but you wouldn't think it if you met me. My unselfconscious idiosyncrasy and bodily polyrhythmicism, not to mention my boldness and independence, have been channelled into other things for many years.

@badradger saidI once had an interview to be a prison officer. (No joke).
I Once tried to join the Police (not the band)
Can't even begin to explain my thinking at the time, other than a long-term plan to work in probation.

@badradger saidI’ve broken into a sports club and an ice cream van. Stollen a car, shoplifted and vandalised stuff on occasion. I was pretty crappy to several girlfriends and once attacked a schoolmate while carrying a pair of round-ended scissors. He was fine, I was in trouble. I was so badly behaved at school at the age of 7-9 that my teacher told my parents that she thought I was retarded**

I don’t consider any of this to have been “out of character”; you are what you do.
**I’ll throw you that bone, you need it.
