I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a writer/comic trying to make it in the big, bad city. I also work with kids because it's one of the most rewarding things to do. I am married and my husband is ridiculously supportive of me. I grew up in Ohio and decided to move to NYC because I wanted a life like a Woody Allen movie. I have close to that, except with more black people. Talking about myself seems incredibly solipsistic, so I'll stop here.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Dead: Jesus Christ, Siddhartha, John Steinbeck, Mary Magdalene, Janis Joplin, Madeline Kahn, "Pistol" Pete Maravich, Gilda Radner, and now sadly Robert AltmanLiving: Chuck D., Bill Rusell, Al Sharpton, Lindsay Lohan, Alan Ball (creator 6ft. Under), Bill Murray, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey
