My Interests

I love to do cake decorating. I love to go and hear live music. I like to read. I like to write. (A lot.) I memorize everything. This drives me crazy. I like to hang out with my friends and have roundtable discussions about how we're going to save the world. I like to travel, especially to New Mexico where my mom and lot's of my old friends live. I don't even need a map to get there. I love a good long roadtrip with my favorite mix CDs... I LOVE photography and fiction writing. Workshops. Never stop learning.

I'd like to meet:

Steve Martin Steven Wright Dane Cook Bill Murray Judge Reinhold Randall Pink Floyd Wooderson John Belushi Gloria Steinham Judy BlumeI met Larry McMurtry one time but my knees were shaking and I could not speak. He is my biggest idol. I was a nanny for Virginia Madsen and Antonio Sabato Jr when they had their son, Jack. I love them like my very own family. I was also a nanny for Virginia's brother Michael, of Reservoir Dogs fame. My knees only shook for the first day, then I realized that, in real life, he is most like his character in Thelma & Louise- a total sweetheart. I worked for Willie Nelson as a photographer's assistant at Farm Aid 2,3,4 & 5. He really is as sweet as everybody says he is.
