I felt my old profile ragging on HORRIBLY designed MySpace pages was a little too cold, condescending, and - let's face it - realistic, so I've removed it. This is going to be simpler and cleaner and more appealing. I live in North Hollywood (which isn't as close to West Hollywood as it sounds), California. I drove a beige 2000 Toyota Corolla until I was told that it's actually silver. So I drive a silver 2000 Toyota Corolla. I have a bumper sticker on it that says WWLDD: What Would Larry David Do? I was going to be a model, but it turned out that I wasn't good looking enough. So, I work in visual effects, as an After Effects artist(?) and a compositor. Freelance. Which means no benefits or guarantee of future work. Sounds bad? It's not. I love it. I consider myself to be a fairly accomplished individual for someone my age. I had a [failing] 57.8 average in my junior year of high school, and I ended up graduating from an alternative high school. That's right. Oh yeah, and no college. But I persevered and found out that it IS possible to make a living without any of that fancy 'higher education' nonsense. So I move pixels around all day, and all week. I haven't had a day off in over 2 months. It's starting to take its toll on me, because it's depressing opening my refrigerator only to find a jar of mayo, an egg, and a de-carbonated bottle of Diet Pepsi. But between you and me, I prefer Coke. (Edit: as this profile writing is now over a year and a half old, I can assure you that the contents of my refrigerator have since changed dramatically. I will update the rest of this profile when I have the energy and/or time.) I have a terrible taste in clothes, a fact that I am semi-proud of. Pizza is my favorite food. A childish choice, perhaps, but isn't it everybodys though? I mean seriously, dig down deep into your heart and your memory. Remember going to your friends' birthday parties when you were 6 years old, at bowling alleys and arcades? Remember how good the pizza was? That's what I'm talking about. Can you honestly tell me that sushi is better than pizza? Come on. Arrested Development is a fantastic, fantastic show. I'm serious. I'm not passionate about many things, but really. It's UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING. And I use Caps Lock sparingly. So, if you're one of my MySpace "friends" and haven't yet witnessed this exquisite gem of a sitcom, please tell me immediately so that I can promptly remove you from my friends list. Lastly, I want to win an Oscar someday. It'd just be really cool.
