I'm not ready to face the light, I had too much to dream...

About Me

I'm glad you've decided to read about me. It's one of my favorite subjects, and I'm sure it'll be one of yours too.
I tend to work on eleven-teen projects at once, and that's the way I like it! Sleep and me don't really get along...I tend to recently spend far too much time in the middle of the night online, and now that TV season is back, I will spend far too much time DVR'ing new shows. I'm a TV whore...

My Interests

Oct. 30th and close on Sunday, Nov. 23rd at "The Looking Glass Theatre" at West 57th Street. Come see, come see!!!Tickets for "The Spanish Wives": https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/881

Television Junkie...
