The miracle is not walking on the water. The miracle is walking on the earth.

About Me

Born and raised in Los Angeles, but don't hold that against me. Yes, I think flip-flops are appropriate for all occasions, but no, I don't talk like a Valley girl. I love LA, and will defend it until the day I die (even if we don't have a football team), but now a small town and a large river in upstate New York have a piece of my heart as well.
I kiss my hellos, but I will not kiss anyone's ass. I'm stubborn, I'm proud, and I probably have something of a superiority complex. I'm a workaholic because I believe one day it will all pay off. I used to be able to drink you under the table; now my hobbies include designated driving.
I throw my head back and clap when I laugh (and sometimes I snort), I sing too loud, and I definitely dance too hard. All of this has been immortalized in a little documentary called " Rock and R.O. ," about the only thing that mattered to me at USC, besides Carson Palmer.
Slogan of the moment: "There's good enough, and then there's better than it has to be." Which one are you?
