Take me back to the south!

About Me

Like totally man. Lately I've been saying "dude" a little too much. It just flies out of my mouth with such a frequency that even the most hard core valley girl would be annoyed. I'm working on it. I'm painfully shy and oddly quiet until I've warmed up to you... but once I'm over it, I'm way over it, so much so that once I come out of my shell, you'll wonder what could have been if only I had made myself known to you sooner. I'm pretty funny if I do say so myself and if nothing else, I crack myself up all the time. I love to laugh (is there anyone out there who doesn't???) and will sometimes think back to a funny thing that happened or that someone once said and I'll bust out laughing at the most innappropriate time. If I don't listen to Howard Stern in the morning, I'm usually pretty cranky for the rest of the day. I am from Los Angeles and I love living here almost to the point of tears. I have 7 favorite restaurants in the city and here they are in no particular order: India's Oven, Asia de Cuba, Bandera, Brent's Deli, Aunt Kizzy's, Mao's Kitchen and Tito's Taco's. Runyon Canyon only further reinforces my conviction to never move further than 20 miles outside LA city limits. I love to travel and I got to go to Israel last year for free because my mom's Jewish. I would love to learn Spanish in a foreign country, preferably one with ancient ruins that I can explore. I'm dying to go to Italy. I've been to Jamaica twice. I get annoyed at people who don't vote and I seriously doubt their moral character. I never had chicken pox as a child, nor have I ever been stung by a bee. I guess I'm just lucky! However, I wore headgear and had braces for like 4 years. So I'm not completely unscathed, but I'm damn near close enough to feel free.Myspace Graphics

My Interests

Movies, plays, comedy shows, people watching, Laker games.

I'd like to meet:

Katt Williams. He's like the funniest comedian out there right now.Mark Ruffalo. He's my Brad Pitt. He's actually tied with my other love/ my future husband: James Blake. Google him. John Goodman. I think he's such an amazing actor and just seems like he'd have a lot of interesting stuff to say. Ditto for Laurence Fishburne. Scruffy boys who wear baseball hats cocked to the side. Who else? Anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Anyone who plays the sitar and can make a decent living at it. Anyone named Bartholemew. Someone with Laker's season tickets who wouldn't mind giving up a pair to me. Wiggers... fuckin wiggers, man. There's nothing like em.

Music:

Fiona Apple. Jon Brion. Tupac. Los Abandoned. Julie. Leland Grant.

Movies:

Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Malcolm X, Short Cuts, Cinema Paradiso, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Punch Drunk Love, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Television:

PANTS OFF DANCE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had more time to read. Here's some great ones: American Psycho, Stupid White Men, White Oleander, Homecoming, The Pearl, There Are No Accidents, Savage Inequalities, The Culture of Fear, Backlash, Don't Believe the Hype, Black White Jewish: An Autobiography, Bullet Proof Diva, Toms Coons Mulatoes and Mammies. I'm also a fan of dictionaries, especially the Facts on File Dictionary of Cliches.

My Piece of the Middle East

I'm kind of switching gears here cause there's no way I could do a day by day replay of my trip.  It would take hours and wouldn't be all that interesting.  My friend Austin asked me if ther...
