About Me

hmmmm... what can I say?? My name is Brooke... Brooklyn for short... I'm a filmmaker on the rise... I am in the middle of six boys... I knew the words to Prince's "I will die for you" at the age of three... My stomach is referred to as, "Caesar the conquerer of all"... my father wore foundation and eyeliner in the 80's... I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty... I take photographs in my spare time... I wanted to be like Joan Crawford when I grew up, and then I saw Mommie Dearest and decided to be Judy Hoff from 21 jump street instead!... I owned two pairs of leather pants at 2... I use to sing Stevie Wonder songs in the bath tub... I love ice cream more than anything in the whole world... I wish I still lived in San Francisco... I want to win an Oscar for Best Director... I sun burn too easily for a black person... My top three favorite shows of all time are I Love Lucy, The Cosby Show and the X-Files... I was obsessed with Tender Heart Bear as a child... My favorite Fraggle was Red because she had pom pom puffs like me...I hate The Patriots... I volunteer for APLA and The HollyRod Foundation... I wanted to be in the musical Annie...I tried to rent my little brother out to neighbors for cash... I thought the Zoo was a place where I could pick out my baby Cheetah to take home with me... I love motorcycles...I tore tendons in the back of my foot and fractured the top of my foot by stepping backward... I thought I was going to be taller than 5'4"... I wish I was allowed to play in the NFL... My favorite colors are pink, blue and rainbow (yes, rainbow is a color... a multitude of colors!)... I would die if I didn't eat Mangoes at least once a month... I find my boyfriends in the geriatric section of Sav-On (kidding, not insulting any exes on this thing... you are not THAT old... almost... not quite :-)... all in all, I'm a goof ball who loves her life and welcomes new people to join in the fun!!!
