I moved to Los Angeles County in 1999 from the town of Nacogdoches, Tx. I was 17 years old and had no clue what this big city had in store for me. I lived in Valencia which turned out to be another world in itself, until the summer of 2006 when I decided move closer to the rest of civilization, to the lovely Silver Lake area. I do miss things about Texas from time to time, but I know I'm supposed to be here. I am a musician now. I play keyboards other random instruments in a few bands. I play with the breakups, I make this Sound, The Andy Paley Orchestra, & SpongeBob and the Hi-Seas. I like to watch cartoons because sometimes I think I relate to them more than real-life people. I think I have learned some very valuble lessons from The Simpsons. I listen to pretty much every genre of music either by choice or by consequence. My job experience in the past 4 years has included everything from sound design, organizing recording sessions, production assistance, music & dialog editing, audio engineering, scoring, and directing music videos. I'm pretty much a Gal Friday for everyone that I work for. I do some minor recording projects at home for friends. I also work on myspace pages and photoshop stuff for web pages and band fliers but I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. I am usually complaining when I never have any time off, and then when I do, I feel like I'm floating around and wasting my life not doing anything productive. I believe I can learn how to do pretty much anything. I am an occasional insomniac, which I think means that it's only psychological when I can't fall asleep. I usually stay up previewing music on itunes/myspace or looking at stuff i can't afford on ebay. Youtube some how manages to simultaneously over & underwhelm me. I love to go on spontaneous, long, and not so long road trips. I don't like meatloaf or feta cheese but I can deal with it. I LOVE NY pizza, lemonade, gelato, and pretty much anything involving noodles. I am not afraid to try anything, but I'm not down with all that fear factor/jackass shit. I am very social and I love to "network". I have two cats back in Valencia, Mary Jane Kitty and Angelica Fatty.
I like to go see live bands and comedy shows. I think that all parties would be more fun if they were themed. I also draw and paint when I am randomly inspired for some reason. I love the snow and the beach and love the fact that no matter where you are in the Los Angeles area, at certain times or the year, you can usually go see either of those places without driving more than an hour. I come from a small town where growing up, I was limited from doing a lot of things that I really wanted to do. I have accomplished more here that I ever expected to. I couldn't ask for more from my friends. Even though I still have no idea what the grand city has in store for me, I just think that opportunities really are endless here. You just have to find them.
