I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Angela and I am faster than most automatic doors. I balance my soul-crushing cynicism by refusing to watch any movies in which the animals do not talk.
I can usually be spotted around town with my best friend Paul, drinking cheap champagne right out of the bottle while intelligently discussing important issues...like who played MacGuyver and why the black guy in Matlock is always getting roughed up.
I'm a senior at Webster University majoring in Media Communications. I'd like to write for television or have a show on PBS called "Angela Smith: Ferret Wrangler". It'd be a mix of Walker:Texas Ranger and Reno 911. But with ferrets.

Who says East St. Louis is spiritually bankrupt?

because this beats watching a rerun of veggie tales.

All is well in the world of Angela.  The rumors are true--I DID get arrested the other night.  It was a waste of time and not a very entertaining story.  I failed to pay a $10 seat belt...
