I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I moved to New York to act, and just as I finally thought I was getting into the groove and possibly moving toward working as an actor (in the sense where you get paid for it), several life events sent spinning even further into my ocean of spiritual searching for my path in life. I'm starting to realize that I will never "have it all figured out," and that's not why I'm here, really. I am here to create, to make positive changes in the world, to be of service. I am also here to learn how to take my life - and myself - less seriously.

My Interests

Acting (of course); singing (includes karaoke); writing poetry/plays; reading; listening to music; watching plays and movies; going to museums; discussing religion; dancing (esp. Viennese waltz, swing, polka... and oh, yeah, that miscellaneous flailing that passes for dance nowadays)

I'd like to meet:

Bright, passionate people; creative people; funny people; people who want life to mean something.

Music:

Tori Amos, Edith Piaf, Dido, Billy Joel, Coldplay, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Indigo Girls

Movies:

Amadeus; The Shawshank Redemption; Garden State; As Good As It Gets; Frida; Amelie; The English Patient; The Lord of the Rings trilogy; the Harry Potter movies

Television:

House, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, A&E Biography, Will & Grace, I was raised on Law & Order and all its progeny (and half my friends depend upon it to help pay bills!)

Books:

The Secret Life of Bees; The Glass Castle; A Prayer for Owen Meany; A Widow for One Year; Writing Down the Bones; Nick Bantock's Griffin and Sabine trilogy (who doesn't like a beautiful, grown-up pop-up book?); The Poisonwood Bible; Chuck Palahniuk; Jelaluddin Rumi; Julia Cameron; John Patrick Shanley; George Bernard Shaw; Tennessee Williams; Henrik Ibsen; Anton Chekhov; William Shakespeare; Peter Mayle
