I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, my crazy misadventures and search for self (i.e. my 20's) took me all over the country and I landed in Chicago. I think this city is great. I bust my intellectual butt writing grants for arts organizations. It's a new thing, this grant business, but I'm taking to it like a fish to water. It's the first time in a long time that I'm able to use all the parts of my brain instead of taking one section and trying to pick at it, twist it and turn it into a different kind of sensibility. For that reason alone, I think I just might be successful at it. I live with my uber-wonderful boyfriend of two years. He's the yin to my yang. Or I'm the yang to his yin... Whatever the case, we seem to fill in the gaps with each other and when together, are an unstoppable force. I couldn't be happier.

My Interests

Artsy fartsy theatre stuff, driving from Montrose to 18th on Lake Shore Drive at dusk, writing (that's a new one), Broncos football, Bears football, anyone else's football,

I'd like to meet:

-Waiter from Waiterrant.net. We need to have a beer.-People who don't stop liking something the second it becomes popular. Lame.

Music:

Indigo Girls, Counting Crows, Lionel, Ben Folds, crooners...some things never change.

Movies:

Chick flicks - and proud of it! No longer will I feel ashamed! Zombie movies, good horror (like the original Nightmare on Elm Street)

Television:

CSI, Amazing Race, The Office, Sex and the City

Books:

He Walks Like a Cowboy, Bridget Jones Diary, Pride and Prejudice, Foundation Directory 2006

Heroes:

Lionel Ritchie. Don't even try to tell me you can't get into even one of his grooves. Don't lie.
