About Me

Myspace Layouts

A work in process, I am finding new things 'About Me" every day. Recent revelations include realizing I may be a brunette at heart rather than a blonde after all; that my God I miss my family so much; that my cooking skills may be escalating from decent to actually good; that I am literally a masochist and a martyr, who needs someone to look out for her or else she'll burn out; that I really really really really really want a dog; that just because someone may be older or have more power than me, I still might know more than them; and that somehow, quietly and seamlessly, Chicago has become my home.
..

My Interests

Getting myself; making people laugh; keeping in touch with friends; learning new random things; writing poetry and screenplays; making films, and the uncomperable energy there is on a set; being around people who you can be silly with; greeting people with a hug and kiss, cocktails; limericks; being uber dramatic; practicing for kareoke; running on a treadmill while watching CNN; the Food Network; makeup, clothes, shoes, perfume, and everything else girly; bartending; odd mementos; patio lunches with friends, decorating with risk, being aware of who and where you are at any exact moment.
Create Your Own!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who brings drama, laughter, sincerety, challenge, intrigue, respect and color into my life.

Books:

I'm a big John Irving fan -- his style of writing is assuming, smart, magnetic, and thought provoking. I'm currently reading "Until I Find You", and enjoy every minute of it. "The World According to Garp" is number one, but I love them all. Other bookshelf staples are "On the Road", "Death of a Salesman", "The Red Tent", "Hypoglycemia for Dummies", "Good In Bed", "Night", "The Artist's Way", and all my old journals.

Heroes:

Those who don't compromise who they honestly want to be. People who don't judge or pigeon hole. Anyone with an open mind and heart. Bea Arthur, because she once said, "If you think somethings funny, dare them not to laugh". People who are loyal, sincere, clever, and honest. My sister Anne, because she consistantly puts others first. My dad, those who educate themselves before making assumptions, and those with the strength and courage to forgive.

My Blog

Did someone lace my Nalgene bottle?

Because that's the only explanation of the wacked out dream I had last night.  I was in New York City, on a train.  The N train as a matter of fact, but it wasn't the subway, it was lik...

My Christmas Letter

A couple weeks ago I pondered the thought of writing a Christmas letter to send out in cards this year.  Despite Chris Mundell's urge for me to do so, I decided it was a little too lame for a sin...

This affected me, and I needed to share

I've been a big fan of Kahlil Gibran for many years, and when I was in New York, picked up a book of his poetry.  I've been in an interesting unsettled place lately, and when I read this particul...

The Great American Smokeout

For the record, I'm almost a day late on this blog, but Myspace wouldn't let me post all day.  But the purpose and the meaning are still the same, so please give it some thought and heart. In cas...

Three Days? Seriously THREE DAYS!

So this has been a pretty rough three weeks.  I won't go into detail, but if you've been in my orbit lately, you know how many hurdles I've been jumping/dodging/busting through/flipping off. ...

I never imagined it would be this difficult.....

Being a Cubs fan in Chicago that is.  I can't get over it.  I've spent almost 26 years (shameless plug, my birthday IS rapidly approaching!) fighting an uphill battle.  I go day to day ...
