About Me

i tend to split my year between 2 coasts. i can appear extroverted, but i'm just overcompensating for being majorly shy. cliché? yes. but true. I QUIT SMOKING two and a half years ago. totally against my nature, i also took up running years ago and have kept on running (but inside i'm still the kid who got pity-picked by the teacher to be on her team in gym). i am dangerously close to having OCD. when i order a hamburger i take it apart and reassemble it in a very specific order- w/mayo. i love LOOSE-LEAF TEA. i abhor the idea of BUBBLE TEA, and nothing u can say will make me feel otherwise. if u fight me on this, i will force u to drink coffee with little balls of ketchup in it and make you make a yummy face. and a yummy sound. go to marybirdsong.com for more info. i have a new band called 99 CENT WHORE. (myspace.com/99centwhore). i also have an old band called COTTONHEAD myspace.com/cottonheadnyc.com.

My Interests

biblical archaeology, egyptian archaeology, comparative religion, ancient history, discussions about how quantum physics and spirituality have become strange bedfellows who have great sex and awesome pillow talk

I'd like to meet:

ACTING REEL. NOTE: MANAGEMENT INFO AT END OF REEL IS NO LONGER UP-TO-DATE. NEW MANAGEMENT INFO IS AS FOLLOWS: STACY ABRAMS MANAGEMENT 323-935-3343.
