About Me

I am... an l.a. native//pretty laid back//a writer//a funny girl//a damn good cook//a dreamer//caffeine free//a lemonade aficienado//a shoe fiend//a lover//a fighter (for love)//an aspiring voice over actress//a geek//a creative soul//a music freak//a chocoholic//five feet, 10 inches tall//a kool-aid smile wearin, pistol packin fool!!! I'm also a firm believer that truly great days don't just suddenly appear out of nowhere, you have to create them. Yeah, that's all I got. So...ummm...yeah......got ?uestions? I got answers... "Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8-color type, I'm like, "Hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "Oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "No - I want magenta!" -John Mayer & throwin it up!!! LOL
