About Me

to begin with, i was born two weeks late. then on top of that, i got stuck. so my head comes to a point. i was raised in upper darby, pa. my childhood was ok. then i had to move to west chester. fuck that. i hated it there. I became reclusive and withdrawn. suicidal and depressed. when middle school came around it made things even worse. until I met my best friends and they made it better. then high school. miserable the first two years. then over the summer of junior year, i had lost 40 lbs. and felt a whole lot better. i later got a job and started doing theatre and i had found my place. got more interested in film. i continued in senior year and left that school with everybody knowing who i was. im going to be a writer/director/actor/editor control freak! i have so many stories to tell and i hope that someday i'll be able to share then with the rest of the world. and maybe someday down the line i'll have someone with me as i do this. i'm not as complex as people think, or am i?
im insecure, shy, timid, i think too much and over analyze everthing. im still a little lost, but i know where i want to be. im someone whos looking for love. real love. rediculous. consuming. inconvienent. cant live with out you love. im a workaholic, my work is the most important thing to me. then my friends, because i wouldnt be the person i am to today without them.
im a workaholic, i always carry a book with me, i love taking photographs of random things, i smoke (i dont know why, but i do), kinda shy at first, i get bored VERY easily and as a result get impatient, i dont need much sleep to function (just COFFEE, and lots of it), have a big heart that i let control me, i think too much about everything, my mood is affected by the weather, i put my friends above everything else in this world, i never take off my claddagh ring, i mix ranch dressing with ketchup, i HATE wine & beer, i don't eat meat, i hate cheesecake, i've never been to a concert, i don't know how to swim, kissing is better than sex, i read playboy for the articles, i like (vegetable) sushi, i would rather walk then take a cab, i NEVER smoke in front of children, im not afraid of dying, because of going to art school i can no longer watch a film for fun; i must pick it apart, i like shopping at thrift stores, i DONT know how to drive, i LOVE listening to the audio commentaries on DVD's, i rearrange the furniture in my room when im bored, i have 11 tattoos (getting 3 more), i have 8 piercings, i spend 2/3 of my free time in the darkroom. i hate sleeping in cause i feel like im wasting a day not doing something. i cant open my eyes under water. i HATE polo shirts. i have 8 cameras.
