About Me

Well, let's see. I've done about 100 of these online "About Me" sections. Hmmm. Finished up school. Finished up a national tour (Cats). Now taking jobs as I find them until I land that Equity/Broadway gig. I'm the kind of person who will be reserved when I first meet someone, then read you to your face once I get to know you. Hope you can take a joke, faggot. I will sing along with my iPod late at night, but usually only when I'm drunk. I have been known to randomly laugh at something funny I remember from as long as 15 years ago. I like cheap wine and expensive facial and hair care products. I value my independence though it scares me to death. I still think love is real, just not sure how much I like it right now.Create or get your
very own MySpace Layouts ....My senior piece, Ripples. The last dance I choreographed. I should really fix that. It's intended to show the many events, feelings, and relationships one goes through in one's life, and how they all stay with one through the rest of one's life.Well, let's see.

Debra Wilson as Whitney Houston!And Miranda Priestly for this quote-"You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's cerulean. You're also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff."

Ugh...

What does it take? What does it take to be right, to do right, by you, by those you love, by the world? It takes to much. And doesn't give a damn. ~Alex
