About Me

Well, I suppose I should start with some basics. I started acting going into grade three (there's often some confusion around that for some reason) after my mom was endlessly begged. She reluctantly released me into the shark infested waters of the film industry, and my dream started turning into my profession. My first job was one for Trans Alta with Wayne Gretzky, quite the experience. But still, there was something about commercials that just didn't quite satisfy my desire to be an actor. When I began trying out for TV shows and movies, the process of playing a character was simply fascinating for me. I still attend regular school, which is quite a hassle, but a hassle which I feel will work out in the end. I adore writing and have an affinity for science, making English and Biology my top subjects. I plan to finish school and go on to post-secondary, while continuing my career. Balancing my life is something I've had to do since I was little, but it's a small price to pay for the satisfaction that comes with being an actress. Oh man that sounds cliché, but I'm serious. In my spare time, I love photography, movies, vintage shopping, dancing, concerts, and hanging out with friends. * I love my job I love good music I love vintage hunting I love thunderstorms I love big jewelry I love belts I love zebra print I love shoes I love vinyl records I love big hair and hot rollers I love the city life I love concerts I love ethnic food I love the number 11 I love crushes I love fresh cut flowers I love romance I love bargains I love costume parties I love sleeping in I love root beer lollypops I love the smell of roses I love raspberry ginger-ale I love party dresses I love renting movies I love photography I love GOLD I love loud music I love pencil jeans I love aviators!

I speak a bit of FRENCH (better with verbally SPEAKING) I have a… quirky sense of humor? When I was much younger, I wanted half pink, half purple hair going down past my bum I can't make decisions for the life of me I wish people still used floppy discs, vinyl, and tapes on a regular basis I am HTML retarded I have been to Africa I really hate it when I miss concerts I like baths way more than showers I’m a klutz I could open up a costume jewelry store I say “neck-laces” like lace on your neck versus “necklaces” People often confuse my name, and it bugs me. It’s “Kirsten,” like curse-ten Coincidences are such a kick I prefer Pepsi over Coke I HATE PLANNING CLASS I have watched Ghost Dad, starring Bill Cosby Apparently, I have long “piano fingers” * Total Pet Peeves… When dog’s ears flip inside out… I always have to fix them LOUD cell phone conversations in inappropriate places (restaurants, in quiet places, you know what I mean) When someone doesn’t hold the door open, even if your hands are full Awkward après argument small talk

I'd like to meet:

Well I think I'd like to meet everybody!

Music:

To be honest, I’ll pull one of those really annoying answers and say I’m open to many types of music, I just narrow it down to personal taste a lot of the time. To give you an idea, I absolutely adore David Bowie, (he is the absolute of my music world) and here are a few bands/artists I would die without: Cat Power Metric The Stars The Islands (formerly the Unicorns) Kraftwerk (you can’t hate on it, it’s just classic) Neil Young The Ditty Bops Ok Go The Arcade Fire Pink Floyd Wolf Parade Smog Patrick Wolf Sufjan Stevens Iggy Pop The Velvet Underground The Bauhaus The Cars Broken Social Scene Jack Johnson Hard-Fi TV on the Radio Gnarls Barkley Snow Patrol Supertramp Fiest The Talking Heads Cake Belle and Sebastian The Ark The Beatles The Kinks Bloc Party Death Cab for Cutie The Strokes The Yeah Yeah Yeahs ELO Deerhoof R.E.M. Boomtown Rats Her Space Holiday Def Leppard JOURNEY (when you feel like singing aloud, karaoke style, there is NOTHING better than some Journey action) Thin Lizzy Duran Duran (again, loud in the car, singing your heart out to Hungry Like the Wolf… how can you fricking beat that man?) Jamiroquai (some good funky lovin’) Regina Spektor Le Tigre Gravy Train Peaches Yeah, there are a million others I’m either forgetting, or just not bothering to list… or they don’t have enough songs I like to say I’d die without them. But I think you get the point.
