LISTEN TO MY VOICE...
Who is this Adrian Lee Borden character? And why does she have three names?
I was raised in Alabama with the compassionate ideals of the Bald man and Amanda Dub. They rocked it and sealed the deal with Joe (my bro) and me. He is an amazing person. His wife Michelle carries herself with a grace that I can only hope I learn myself one day.I am more poor than I have ever been in my life, but I'm happier also.Over a year ago, my "about me" had this in it: I know that I'm smart. I know that I'm attractive. And even tho I have never been in love, I know that it exists and is the single most amazing and powerful, dangerous, beautiful experience that I will one day have. I can only say that I'm lucky to have not come across it yet, for it would surely stop me dead in my tracks as an actress. Here's the tidbit - I've met him! And like they say, "When you know, you know." Love screws with your head, man! One day you're on top of the world and the next day you wanna rip your heart out so it'll just stop lub-dubbing all over your world. It's an amazing journey. And it rocks!
Here he is...yay.
My theory on acting is that I'm built for it. I'm an acting machine. I hear dialects, I see actions, I feel emotions and I love to entertain the people around me. I am headstrong and determined. But I have a naÃ¯vetÃ© which my dad says I should "protect." I want to get my masters in musical theatre or acting in London at RADA or LAMDA, find my life there as an actress and then, who knows where that will take me?
Most of the time you can find me choreographing for or dancing/singing with The Satin Dollz...
...or working with my peeps, the wonderful folks who comprise Women's Ensemble Theatre...
...I've got two crazy, awesome roomies...

I'd like to meet:

Other people who are self-aware. I know how hard it is to make yourself happy in 2008!! So if you're having trouble, I will help you by making you laugh and smile...let's hope.

Whoever, whenever. COME ONE, COME ALL. I would, however, like to omit people with bad attitudes or judgements about other human beings. I am a friendly, charming, flirtacious girl so if you are not prepared to have some fun, don't come a n-n-knocking! Thank you!

NOVEMBER BABY-NESS INDICATES: Trustworthy and loyal. Very passionate and dangerous. Wild at times. Knows how to have fun. Sexy and mysterious. Very skilled at making love. Everyone is drawn towards your inner and outer beauty and independent personality. Messy, playful, secretive. Very emotional and temperamental sometimes. Meets new people easily and very social in a group. Fearless and independent. Can hold their own. Stands out in a crowd. Essentially very smart. Usually, the greatest men are born in this month. If you ever begin a relationship with someone from this month, hold on to them because they're one of a kind.

Music:

Michael Tolcher, Gavin Degraw, Sublime, Maroon 5, Green Day, 311, Michael Buble, Gorillaz, Beck, Ben Folds and his five, The Beatles, Long Beach Dub All Stars, Michael Warren, Wayne, Ingram Hill, The Beach Boys, Leslie Gore, Cold Play, Black Eyed Peas, Sean Paul, Radio Head, Michael Hedges, Zak Ward, Guster, Amber, Big and Rich, Jason Mraz, Kara's Flowers...and many more...

Movies:

The one starring me and my family... ...my family and me!!!

Television:

Scrubs, Nip Tuck, Queer As Folk, The Office...

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk mostly. Right now The Bald Man has me reading The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler. He says he would not insist upon me reading it if he "didn't think it would directly effect your career choices." Interesting, eh?

Heroes:

Probably my parents, especially my DADDA - he is the sweetest, smartest man in the whole world...so it's cool having him all to myself - haha! Also, DICK STINSON, my late wonderful Sunday school teacher as well as MEL SPARKMAN, the most gracious and loving man I have ever met. He had the ability to make you feel like you were the most special person in the room. And not a day goes by when I don't think of TARA LAURIE, may she rest in peace. She taught me that there are angels walking all around us and, though it is hard, we should try to recognize them. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" and "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG." Thanks, FREDDIE MERCURY!
