About Me

Who are you? What do you like? What do you do for a living?
I'm a good person with a lot of pain and bad choices in my past. I like honesty and quiet. I do accounts payable for a real estate firm. My background is in radio and I would like to go back to it, regardless of my protestations that I'm 'over it.'
Carnaby Street + Barnaby Jones = Carnaby Jones is obviously not my name. Neither is Jane Holborn.
No adult images (BUTTS, BOOBS, ETC.) in the comments please.
I am the one on the left in my userpic (in the striped shirt). The one on the right is my best friend, who I've known 20 years. She can be worshipped at http://www.myspace.com/hanginwithstang


I am anti-social and pro-choice. I like Kool-Aid and Manwich. So what?

I'd like to meet:

Dolly Parton, Nick Rhodes, Eddie Izzard, Bob Newhart, Pam Grier, Julie Newmar, and most of the artists on MySpace I've added to my friends list.

If you don't know me and think you want to "HOLLA" or whatever it is the kids say these days, please don't. I do not chat with people I don't know.

Borrowed from Anna D: "I'm not likely to add you unless I actually ALREADY know you." I joined MySpace just to get info on bands and artists that I like. Please don't email me looking for friends/romance/etc. Thanx.

I just saw that a bunch of folks from my past radio days are here on MySpace so I'm thrilled to reconnect with them.
