About Me

I dance, and I act, and I sing, and I write, and I talk, and I think until my brain hurts. I make it a habit to stay up slightly later than I intend to every single night of my life, and subsequently promise myself every morning I won't do that again. I have a BFA in Theatre, and moved to Chicago in the Fall of 2004, and after a one year stint in Ballroom and Latin instruction, I now be doin' shit a little more my style. Dancewise, I tend be most attracted to dance that uses a fusion of styles - Jazz, Lyrical, African, Hiphop, Modern, Ballet...I love to improvise movement, and my dancing and choreography is almost completely driven by music and my emotional reaction to that music. In the world of theatre I love contemporary pieces that explore the complexities of modern day life and relationships. Give me depth! Depth I say! Give me passion! I have beautiful, wonderful, lovely friendships in my life that I am grateful for. Currently I am in love with my hair, and embarrass myself by flipping it around in public, thus making the guy at Potbelly's laugh at me. I thought I was the proud creator of the word suckfest - used initially to describe the experience of jury duty. Example: "Jury duty was a suckfest." But apparently I was mistaken, and another individual has been using it far longer than I. Bullshit. I sing and model and play the flute and write and blah blah blah. I want constant constant intellectual stimulation, conversation, and artistic creation. Fuck the top friends idea on MySpace - nothing but trouble, and obviousness, and yet I can't seem to get away from it. Can't they just have a top friend list that you see but no one else sees or something? Do certain layouts do that? Whats going on? I'm great fun but I'm not 'laid-back', 'easy-going' or other frat-boy profile adjectives. And I take not taking myself seriously very seriously, whatever that means...I've been called charitably aloof, elegantly irreverent, deliciously exotic yet classic, and a 'passionista,' Go me! "Dancing is not rising to your feet painlessly like a speck of dust blown around in the windâ€¦Dancing is when you rise above worlds tearing your heart into pieces and giving up your soul." - Jelaluddin Rumi"myspace layouts for Get this layout for your myspace page.
