About Me

I have a sweet bike, and I'm really good at hooking up with dudes. Plus I'm like the only chick at school who has a mustache.
When I'm on the spot, I tend to make jokes. Although sometimes I just back out of the room very, very slowly. I also went to Berkeley so nothing shocks me. I almost became a doctor, then almost became a lawyer. I'm passionate but not at all angry. I'm never rude to the waiter and always leave 20%, unless of course, the service sucks. My bedroom is a world of red & leopard print splendor, several live & fake plants including a six-foot palm, a slow-moving ceiling fan, and my desk. And for once I'm not kidding. Really. I'm assertive but have a hard time taking compliments. I got my MFA in Film from USC but I'm not your typical Hollywood cliche since what *I'd* really like to do is direct. I give to the Humane Society every month. I'm a night person. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'm perpetually late. I love my two cats. I'm not a very girly-girl: I can actually drive, I listen to Howard Stern, and I tend to pepper my speech with colorful "sentence-enhancers". Then again, I've been told I smell nice, I practice yoga, and I just bought a fabulous new moisturizer...

My Interests

sleeping, eating, gambling, watching tv, the occasional foray into the outside world (for milk & batteries)

I'd like to meet:

Listen kids -- unless I actually know you, have known you at some point in my life, or have at least met you in some way, I ain't gonna add you as my friend. But if I actually have and just don't remember, feel free to remind me. And although I wish you the best of luck in chasing your dreams, I'm not gonna add your band to my list either.
On that note, I'd love to meet Seth MacFarlane, Tina Fey or Trey Parker. Oh, you mean "for realsies." Welllll...if you think the Sunset Strip is a great place to "meet people", then we're probably not going to get along. If you'd pay money to see the David Chappelle live, we probably would. If "The Fast and the Furious" is one of your favorite movies, we won't. If you have any idea where Latvia is, we will. Overwhelming urge to beat up the person that accidentally bumped into you? Nope! Helping them up and being so nice they buy us all drinks in thanks? Priceless. Got a soft spot for those who grew up on John Hughes and can hold their own in a good-natured argument. Oh yeah, and you can't be allergic to cats. Or drink wine coolers.

Music:

I run the gamut - Van Halen to Sarah Vaughn, Timo Maas to Tito Puente, Georges Bizet to George Benson (I find smooth jazz very soothing when stressed)

Movies:

Stuck on a desert island, I'd have to go with '80s comedies - Harold Ramis is a genius. But also love Kurosawa, Cam Crowe, PT Anderson, Amy Heckerling, Zemeckis, Shyamalan, Coens, Farrellys. Yeah, yeah, you get the idea...

Television:

Laugh all you want, but tivo is my best friend. Flight of the Conchords, both BBC and NBC Office (kudos for finding its own stride), Scrubs, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Northern Exposure, Family Guy, Arrested Development, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Nature, Nat Geographic, all things HBO

Books:

Eat, Pray, Love - best book I've read in years
