I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


.. I am a Manhattan native. I like to hang with friends, music collector, Buffy the Vampire Slayer geek (even bought the accompanying Monster books), liberal, hard worker/slacker. Lived in Sourthern California for a few years and I helped put "The OC" on the map. Now there's a fucking tv show about it! Unfortunately the only punk thing about Orange County is that it spawned Social Distortion. Other than that, "The OC" is great if you like the sun, botox, and big plastic tits.I love drinking in dive bars (Love Mona's, Rudy's, and does anyone remember Downtown Beruit?) Horror movies rule. I love cheesey mystery and horror novels. I like to throw parties and cook for my friends. I play mean poker and scrabble. I write books but never finish them, wrote a play and finished that, and I used to write reviews. I am not afraid of rodents, in fact I love rats, mice, gerbils, and hamsters, especially teddy bear hamsters. I like spiders, too. My real job is freelancing and accounting during the day. I like odd money like pennies that say "One Cent" on the back and I love two dollar bills. I also like the one dollar coins which there are three U.S. versions of. My dream job is professional groupie and go on the road with bands. And I am the kind of person who will drive 90 miles out of her way to a venue just so that her friend can get laid in the dressing room while I am small talking/stalling with a bunch of roadies. Yeah, you know who you are.
