Still in search for the blue rose...

About Me

I write stories. I have two stories published. My interests include hiking,shopping,reading,research and movies. I like to talk about a variety of topics. I am the sort that appears to be preppy and serious. But the fact is, I can be quite silly underneath my dry sense of humor. My acting 'career'(I use that term loosely) consisted of being on a children's show when I was a tiny kid. I was in various plays while growing up. I was in a print ad for a school bus. I was in a film that was never completed and I was an extra in the film '8 Men Out' I also tried my hand at college radio and used to be a trumpet player. I love rose flavored candies and the color pink. I don't know what else to say,if you want to know ask!

My Interests
