You are my new role model for all things stalkerish.-Maggie (Seat18b)

About Me

I was born & raised in South Carolina & I quit college & moved to Los Angeles a few months ago to pursue the entertainment industry. I want to be a writer/performer &...well, we'll see how that goes. :) Avocados, paprika, & cheddar cheese are my favorite snack & my favorite thing in the world is to have a massive glass of red wine followed with a cup of really strong coffee. :)I love to laugh & seriously find humor in everything. Really heavy movies that are very long with awesome music & catchy dialogue where pretty much everyone dies in the end make me happier than most things in life. If I could be anyone it would be Tina Fey or Catherine the Great. I would love to live two days as Edith Piaf in 1939. I stand firm in my belief that Diablo Cody is the most over-rated person working in Hollywood right now. (This does not include The Hills girls..they aren't working.) I love NBC Nightly News because I have a massive crush on Brian Williams.In case I'm ever NOT on Inside the Actor's Studio...here are my answers to James Lipton's questionnaire developed by the whatever-he's-called-French-guy Bernard Pivot...1) What is your favorite word? -Cabernet2) What is your least favorite word? -genitalia...or any word surrounding it...the word-makers seriously could not have picked grosser sounding words than the ones they picked for all of the genitalia...3) What turns you on? -Honesty4) What turns you off? -men who hit on me while continuously insisting verbally that "all men are pigs & scum"...sigh. if you're going to hit on me just be honest about it dude.5) What is your favorite curse word? -HELL!6) What sound or noise do you love? -coffee makers, waves, boiling water, rain, classical music7) What sound or noise do you hate? -barking dogs8) What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? -composing music for movies9) What profession would you not like to attempt? -banking..or accounting..or politics...10) If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you get to the Pearly Gates? -"Told you so."This layout is from iloveyourspace.com
