About Me

It's high time I update this (haven't done so since Petey helped me put this together about a year ago). My name is Gracie. I love music and cannot get through a day without playing something. There is always an instrument ten steps away. I bring my guitar everywhere (A million thanks to Kevin for the guitar). I know way too many Children's Songs. I play a lot of instruments, some you may not have heard of (ask me about it, I have good stories). SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC. I can't seem to get enough of show music and LOVE playing in pits. I'm afraid of dark bathrooms and always check bathtubs for decomposing women (that you The Shining). I play football like a boy. I can throw better than you think. The two little girls who live next door are amazing and I love them like they're my sisters. Petey and I play sports with them all the time (Team Natalie's Short vs. Team Petey Stinks!!!). Their father was an awesome person and we all miss him. I love working with autistic children. I want to be a kindergarden teacher (maybe then a lawyer?). I write a lot of music but only share a few. I've been writing music since I was 8. I'm obsessed with the organization of schedule (it's color coded). I call my Filofax 'The Filofax of Life'. I enjoy folding clothes (don't ask why). My favorite color is ORANGE. I love hockey and gymnastics. I do handstands and handsprings wherever I go. SAVE DARFUR (If you don't know what Darfur is, find out). I love NFTY songs (Live or Die N-F-T-Y!!!). KUTZ is awesome. I teach a special education hebrew school class and 8th grade. Rocky Horror is one of the greatest plays (I go all the time in the summer). I love the summer and the beach......but also love the winter and snowboarding. I go as much as I can. The cello, sax, and guitar are my favorite instruments. FRIENDS=FAMILY. I live up to my astrological sign. I love board games. I practice a lot. I listen to everything I can get my hands on. I get injured because I don't think concepts like Gravity apply to me....but all injuries have good stories. My gymnastics coach is tough but awesome. My high school band teacher made the baton I will use forever. Most likely, I know what you're thinking, but I'll ask you anyway. I love learning. I love to read. I LOVE TO PLAY IN THE RAIN. I can juggle but I can't whistle. I can walk a tight rope but can't wink. I will always surprise you. I know sign language and use it often....and no, I don't slur my sign language when I'm drunk. I wear sandals a lot. I play outside and don't wear shoes. I lobby in D.C. a lot. I think children deserve the best education possible that's child-centered. I don't do drugs. I have never smoked anything. There are less than five people who have seen me first thing in the morning. Live or on a record is the only way to listen to blues and jazz. I believe people are generally good and honest. I always carry stickers on me.....and usually I give them out to kids and other cool people. Alice In Wonderland is still my favorite story.

There are 36 people who sustain the world.

So I've always said that I went through all I did during High School for a reason. The way I rationalized it all out in my mind was that I saved one the people who make up the 36 that sustain the worl...

What I do is against G-d?

So for those of you who know me know that I am Jewish......I'm reform to be exact. What keeps me using the label of 'reform' is one fact: I pray through music. Growing up reform meant song sessions, N...

My botanic Twin (I still need to name it, make suggestions!!!)

I found out today that the pink ceramic pot to a plant my mom keeps broke. Two days in a row we ate dinner as a family. This is a rarity in our home. My father is either out of the country, reffing, a...

WTF?

So what the hell is up with all these expectations the world seems to have. It's like all of the sudden I'm "not realizing my full potential". That kind of mess may work in grade school and high schoo...

Birth is a beginning And death a destination And life is a journey; From childhood to maturity And youth to age; From innocence to awareness And ignorance to knowing; From foolishness to discretion &n...

Why I am cooler than Scott.....(read this!)

1. I don't throw away cool stories I have written. 2. I didn't quit music. 3. I didn't get shot in the name of chivalry. 4. I didn't go off pain killers after being shot just because I didn't want to ...

Would you Settle?

Not everything always turns out the way we'd like it to. What if you ended up finding the person you will be in love with for the rest of your life, your other half, your best friend? Now what would...
