You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

About Me


'•.¸(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)¸.•' •.¸(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)¸.•'
Me, in my former life: born in Brasil to ex-patriots; lived in many places as a child but grew up primarily in Pasadena, CA.
I saw the credits roll on Raiders of the Lost Ark when I was about 10; told myself I was going to grow up to be a *Production Coordinator* (such ambitions).
I graduated from UCSB with a B.A. in Film Studies. I went to work in television production for seven long years. I started off as a P.A. and worked tirelessly on various half-hour and hour shows to finally become a Production Coordinator; and then an Associate Producer in Post Production.
It was at that point, I realized how much I hated my life.
I drank and smoked too much.
I worked too many hours to really have any kind of life.
In essence, I had no balance.
I got sick of all of the phony Hollywood types and the LA scene; I decided to make some changes.
I went from the rat-race straight into the fire: moved to O.C., got married and had two kids.
Me, now: AYSO soccer mom, kids in Catholic school, driving a huge SUV, with my huge sunglasses, and yet...I refuse to talk on my cell while driving (gotta draw the line somewhere).
I'm a City-Slickin'-Treehugger.
As for my work: I hate to admit it. I miss certain aspects of the t.v. world. Things just don't get done as quickly on the *outside*.
So...I started my own business.

As for my life: I need some new friends with new perspectives.
I've reached my quota on right-wing, born-again Christians.
(NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!)
I love my religious, Republican friends. I just have sooo many of them.
I'm a bleeding-heart liberal leading a double-life.
Can you help a sista out?
Sending out much love,
Mia
