I've missed the hell out of you, my darlings.

About Me

GEMINI--through and through
Code by MySpaceDirect.com . Hmmm, well, I love change...it keeps things fresh, interesting, creative. Maybe that's why I enjoy being an actress. Scot(AKA:my soulmate & best friend) keeps me sane. I HATE talking on the phone...I often loose my phone, leave it in cabs, or just keep it on silent mode....so it takes me FOREVER to return calls/voicemails(my friends know not to take it personally). I can't get enough of traveling and I partake in that habit quite often! Nature inspires me and spending time outdoors makes me smile! I have no sense of direction (just don't get the whole north, south, east, west thing) so I get lost quite a bit...however, getting lost can be exhilarating. I have a tendency to confess my deep secrets and thoughts(maybe it's the old catholic-school-girl coming out). I'm very attracted to people who live un-ordinary lives. The "American Dream" bores/scares the hell out of me. I will never own an SUV or a mini-van. I'm constantly contemplating giving up alchohol for good, for it awakens the "badgirl-i-gotta-watch-myself-dara" gemini twin. I love pups and have two shi-poos of my own---they are my children. I have the perfect day job that i'm very thankful for--dog-walking & pet sitting. Teaching drama to kids also fills my heart and my wallet. Someday, I want to own a teal Stella and live by the ocean. I love polka dots and circles(i.e.decorating, wearing, filling blank paper with them). If you really want to know me then.... A picture is worth a thousand words.
