My Interests

Having fun as often as possible and working hard to achieve my goals and dreams. I also have a baby daughter who is QUITE interesting and fabulous!
I'm currently really into snowboarding and I'm obsessed with Daniel Day-Lewis now that I've seen There Will Be Blood. That guy's a destroyer!
I also like to eat: Asian cuisine, Sprinkles cupcakes, movie popcorn, French fries, banana cream pie, tuna melts, anything noodley, cheese, food in general. Favorite Drink: Gin & tonic with lots of lime.
I love movies, books, animals/pets, cars, motorcycles, fitness, old school video games where you shoot people, meeting cool people who aren't jackasses. Insincerity and conceitedness - I can't stand these qualities in people. Everyone, just be nice.... jeez.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is a positive, cool, friendly, interesting, intelligent person... but mostly, Steve Martin and my birth mother, but probably not at the same time. Awkward!

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Music:

Anything but country western. Old country like Patsy and Johnny Cash are cool, but current country music makes me vomit in my own mouth a little bit and then I have to politely swallow it.

Movies:

The ORIGINAL Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Jerk, L.A. Story, Napoleon Dynamite, Palindromes, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Better Luck Tomorrow, The Wizard of Oz, Sideways, American Beauty, Shopgirl, Rainman, The Sweet Hereafter, The Sound of Music, On Golden Pond, Boogie Nights, Young Frankenstein, Waiting for Guffman, Arthur, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Mean Creek, Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, There Will Be Blood, Juno... I LOVE good movies and there are too many to mention. I also LOVE documentaries: First Person Plural, Grizzly Man, Murderball, The Story of the Weeping Camel, An Inconvenient Truth, March of the Penguins, Smashed, Who Killed the Electric Car - lots of good work out there.

Television:

Deseprate Housewives, Oprah, Dexter, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, Strangers With Candy, Six Feet Under, Jeopardy, South Park, Reno 911, Big Love, Weeds, The Office, 30 Rock and that show about the family of midgets on TLC. Oh, and anything on Noggin (I have a kid, ok?!)

Books:

My Year of Meats, Middlesex, Hello He Lied, Shop Girl, Pure Drivel, The Tipping Point, Fast Food Nation, Far Side cartoons, Magical Thinking, House of Sand and Fog, almost anything by Wally Lamb, Tobias Wolf and John Irving

Heroes:

Adopted people with amazing stories! My old music teacher, Roger Hoel. Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, The Smothers Brothers, Gene Wilder, Joan Rivers pre-plastic surgery and red carpet, Ellen Degeneres, Mel Brooks, Oprah, Margaret Cho, Ben & Jerry, Baskin & Robins, Peaches & Herb, Frick & Frack and many many personal friends who inspire me every day. Oh, and my dog Curly the Wonder Chihuahua who manages to be a happy little dude even though his balls got cut off. Now THAT'S a hero.
