About Me


I'm an only child, I have two dogs: Lucky (a 15-year-old Golden retriever/cocker spaniel mix) and Perdita ( a 2 1/2) year old Corgi Mix ,Milo, a fat 10 y-o tabby mix, and one betta fish: Cornwallace Baltimore AKA: Cornball
I want to get either a carnation or a dragon tatoo
I am a double major at Central Washington University: Print and Broadcast Journalim. I interned at KXLE, a radio station in Ellensburg, WA, and now I'm looking for a print internship. When I grauate in March of 2007, I wanna get a job as a reporter in any field.
Funny J-story: I got my start writing for Yakima Valley Community College's newpaper, 'The Galaxy'. I got press passes to cover Jay Leno's stand-up act when he came to CWU. I got to attend the press conference. The first q I asked him was 'When an attractive actress comes on the show, and you have to help her put on her mike, Is thre any sexual tension?' Jay responed, " I sure hope so!" and he told this wonderful anecdote of how Heidi Klum came on the show wearing this diamond-incrested bra, which broke and Jay had to take off his Jacket and cover her up. My next question was 'You and your wife, Mavis, have been married for a long time. What would you say is the secret to a happy marriage' ? Jay just stared and gave me this wierd look, and resoonded, "What's with all the sex questions? Yes, another comment from Dr. Ruth!"

What Cartoon/Comic Character best describes you?
Garfield
You enjoy complaining. You're also a little vain and may be a tad lazy or overweight - but you're comfortable with that. You're also quite smart. At least, you like to think so, but people tend to simply agree with you to avoid confrontation. All in all, life is good for you and things are on the up and up. Keep smiling!

I'd like to meet:

I've already met Carrot Top, Jay Leno, and I had drinks with Da Brooklyn Comedy Tour's Tommy Savitt!

I would like to meet fellow writers, John Travolta, Dave Barry, Patrick Dempsey, Conan O'Brien and simpson's creator, Matt Groening. I would snip a lock of his hair for DNA. That way when he dies, scientists may use the DNA to create another Matt Groening to continue producing Simpsons episodes.
