About Me

I'm not a comedian. I just think of funny things to say. I tend to be sarcastic. I have a problem with loose change in my pocket. I just watched 'The Secret' and I'm now imagining why I first moved to this city of industry, city of Angelenos. Who would have thought positive thinking would turn out to be so popular. I have a fear that my nephew will be infamous. I would not make for a good spy. That new show on The CW, Gossip Girl, is based on my life. Please, don't tell me your juicy secrets, I turn into a 13 year old girl and run immediately to my locker and tell my girlfriends. It sounds weird, but it happens everyday. I love good music, it motivates me, as does good comedy and good acting. I just had my 10 year High School reunion and everyone is a teacher...apparently, I didn't get the memo. I'm working on sketch comedy right now that should be up on the net soon. I give money to homeless people and I kiss babies. I should be a politician, except I'm not a good liar. I give people a hard time, yet when it happens to me, I don't like it. I have often given my heart out to people only to have it handed back to me in pieces stored in a brown paper bag. I guess you could say I'm overly cautious. Please stop the use of LOL, it makes me cringe...
