I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am an aerialist, acrobat, circus instructor, and dog walker in Chicago. Now you may initially think "wow, circus, that's cool!" but, as any of the people below will happily testify: I am a HUGE GEEK. In case you couldn't figure that out on your own. I like compound adjectives . . . and gerunds.

My Interests

Circus, Books, College Football, Knitting, Piggy-back bike rides in the dark, General Geekery

I'd like to meet:

Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, people who would like to give me money for doing circusy things

If you saw me on a group or another friend's page and you want to add me, at least drop me a short message telling me who you are and why you want to be my friend. Otherwise I'll just deny the request :) This also applies if you are someone I know, but that isn't immediately apparent from your picture or profile.

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Music:

Fiery Furnaces, Death Cab, Postal Service, Decemberists, Ratatat, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Ben Folds Five, Queen, I could go on but I won't

Movies:

LOTR, Moulin Rouge, Elizabeth, Pirates, Almost Famous, Serenity, Little Miss Sunshine, Kicking and Screaming, Mel Brooks, Fight Club

Television:

Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Lost, the holy trinity of Joss (Buffy/Angel/Firefly), Sports Night, Grey's Anatomy, Carnivale, Big Love, Doctor Who, Family Guy

Books:

Anything by Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, David Sedaris or Kurt Vonnegut. Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell, Brave New World, Harry Potter, LOTR, Middlesex, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, The Prestige, The Historian, His Dark Materials, Douglas Addams. I have a strange addiction to historicl fiction, especially about Tudor England.

Heroes:

Everyday Hero: Mom
Political Hero: Al Gore (especially after he left politics)
Guitar Hero: Steve
Superheroes: Buffy Summers, Kara Thrace (I like 'em badass and frakked-up), The Doctor, and Kirk - 'cause at 25 he's been through more shit than anyone should have to deal with in a lifetime, and he has managed to keep his smile and sense of humor. He doesn't let the anger and bitterness take control.. I need to be more like that. also his blood is apparently magic.

The center cannot hold

It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.  Things do fall apart.  Relationships end. You rearrange your life and move on.  Yes, I'm fine.  No, I don't want to talk about it.  But you're welc...

Waiting for the Rapture

I just finished watching Angel, which means I have finally completed the Holy Trinity. As I long ago accepted that Joss Whedon is my master now, I am confident that my place in geek heaven has been se...

Validation

I did, in fact, get a spot in the show I auditioned for last weekend (see previous blog). Even though it's a small school show, I feel oddly validated.  This is the first piece that I created entirely...

Showcase

I had my first audition since college yesterday for a show that may not even happen because the Circus Center may not exist anymore (see bulletin). Talk about an exercise in futility.  Which is especi...

Anyone see the new BSG episode?

It sucked.  Most predictable, boring episode ever.  Discuss.
