Glen Callender UFA FAQ

Frequently asked questions

about Glen Callender UFA and Wasting My Youth

How old are you?: Mid-30s. I don’t wish to reveal my exact age or date of birth, because I don’t want you to steal my identity.
Are you a depraved sex maniac?: Yes.
Where have you lived, and where do you live now?: I was born, raised and lowered in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada. I lived for a decade in Burnaby B.C., where I attended Simon Fraser University. I have also lived in Prague (2001), South Korea (2004-5), and the Philippines (2006-7). I currently live in downtown Vancouver B.C.
What countries have you visited?: In order: Canada, USA, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Vatican City, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Cuba, South Korea, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. That makes 22. I don’t count Belgium because I didn’t get off the train, Myanmar because a 45-minute visa run to a crappy little border town does not a visit make, or North Korea because ten minutes on the North Korean side of the negotiation room in the DMZ counts for even less.
Education?: Yes. Bachelor of Arts (English-Humanities joint major, Psychology minor) Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada.
Is your ego really that healthy?: No. I have never particularly liked myself, because I don’t suffer fools gladly.
What is your e-mail address?: Glen@UFAland.com
What’s your sign?: ‘Merge’. My love match is ‘Yield’.
What is your relationship status?: When my eyes are open, looking. When my eyes are shut, looking at my eyelids.
Seriously now, what is your relationship status?: I have no idea. I don’t pay attention to the love lives of celebrities.
Come on. Be serious. What is your relationship status?: Next frequently asked question, please.
Okay then. What is your favorite quotation?: “My greatest fear is not being remembered when I’m gone.” (Anonymous)
Is it my imagination, or are some of the columns in the Wasting My Youth archive not quite the same as they originally appeared in The Peak?: That’s because I revised some of the material when I assembled the Wasting My Youth manuscript. In some cases, I put back material that was cut for space reasons. In others, I reversed editorial changes I didn’t agree with. In still other cases, I could see some obvious improvements so I slapped on a new coat of paint. At this point I do not plan any further revision, as I have moved on from Wasting My Youth.
Some of the material in the Wasting My Youth archive is sick and wrong.: You’re probably right. Sigh.
Hey! You didn’t answer the question “What does ‘UFA’ stand for?” Isn’t that a frequently asked question?: Actually, it’s a CONSTANTLY asked question. For the answer, stay tuned for the Glen Callender UFA Constantly Asked Questions (CAQ) section, coming soon!
