About Me



Hmmm, let's see, I've lived in Paris and Tokyo, New York and San Francisco. I've run marathons and sang The Doors songs at Jim Morrison's grave. I've jumped out of planes and swam with sharks. I've been engaged and disengaged. I lobbied for causes on Capitol Hill and got hit in the neck with a billy club. I've cried over a broken heart and made out in an abandoned church in Mexico. I've been legally dead but lived to tell about it. I've laughed for an hour straight. Soooo, that was Tuesday. Maybe today I'll watch bad movies and eat chocolate chip cookies.I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography, so anything else you want to know, you're going to have to ask me yourself. I can't do everything for you!..
