Fitting in is for school girls.

About Me

Actor, writer. Make my dough running one killer dude's financial practice. Started to do some independent personal finance consulting for artists. Cause, you know what? If you're an artist and your medium is not, say lucrative, you have to watch your money and you have to be smart. Being a starving artist is a bunch of B.S. Happily married to a kick ass animator uber genius/hilarious dude named Mars. I'm in Chicago, far from my Northwest roots. Great friends here and all. Oh, I love clothes. It's a problem. My husband says I'm complex. (I think he meant a little cracked.) I think it's just because I'm one of the silliest people he knows, but also obsessed with planning, forethought and social ettiquette. I read maps for fun. I love encountering different types of people. I work to be well rounded. And my abs are consistently hard strictly from the power of laughter.
