About Me

Hello all... I'm finding out that practically everyone on the planet is on myspace, so I thought I'd conform and join in. I am several things - a classically trained actor & singer, a self-taught drummer/percussionist, a KJ/DJ, and I've recently started to write my own music as well as some sketch comedy, a one-woman show, and an idea for a screenplay - and in true ADD fashion, I've started all of these things, but am nowhere near finishing any of them. I'm comfortable acting anything from Shakespeare to slapstick comedy and singing anything from opera to rock 'n roll. I think this whole paying the bills thing while pursuing your true goals is a pain in the ass. It's a lot harder than they say it is. But it's worth it. I mean, if we're not here to be happy and do what we want with our lives, then what the hell are we doing here? Rather than label myself a performer just for the sake of performing, I like to think of myself as a creative person who is trying to spread good energy and a positive message through everything I do. So, if anything I've said here sparks your interest, contact me - let's use this space for good & help each other...

My Interests

Film, theatre, music, anything arts related; Comedy! Anything related to sound, audio, DJ-ing; Astrology, energy, the metaphysical...

I'd like to meet:

Lots of people. Here's something I think would be a hoot: I'd like to have a drink or 4 with Ellen DeGeneres, Sarah Silverman, Rita Rudner, Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett, and Bette Midler. If someone could arrange that for me, that would be fantastic. Hell, if you can arrange it, you can come out for drinks with us. I'm not kidding. I really would like this to happen. A big group of us - all these hilarious women and me. At a karaoke bar. Maybe with a drag show, some go-go dancers... but definitely karaoke.

Music:

Classic rock, modern rock, blues, folk, funk, disco, jazz, reggae, hip hop, house, world, dance/electronic/trance... basically, I like almost everything. Some favs: Ani DiFranco, Heart (the early days), Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, Doors, Janis, Journey, John Mayer, Joan Osborne, Bonnie Raitt, Sarah McLachlan, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones (LOVE HER), Amos Lee... a whole lot more that I can't think of at the moment

Movies:

Somewhere In Time, Shakespeare In Love, 50 First Dates, any Franco Zefirelli Shakespeare film, Throw Momma From the Train, Lord of the Rings, The Black Stallion, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Kill Bill I and II, Dazed and Confused, But I'm a Cheerleader, Mulholland Drive, 21 Grams, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Garden State, The Green Mile, History of the World (Mel Brooks), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, What The Bleep Do We Know?, Little Buddha... and a whole lot more I can't think of at the moment

Television:

The L Word, 24, Entourage, Law and Order, The Simpsons, Robot Chicken, Monty Python, anything Tracy Ullman does, Mad TV (sometimes), used to watch Saturday Night Live - until Jan Hooks and Nora Dunn left the show... otherwise, I'm not much of a tv watcher.

Books:

The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman; The Dance by Oriah Mountain Dreamer; The Artist's Way; Dreams Into Action

Heroes:

My parents; anyone who will go after what they want, do whatever it takes to get it, and not settle for something else out of fear

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if y...
