About Me


MyGen Profile Generator
I am 20 years old. I love singing and doing musical theatre. I have made most of my friends working with bay area theatre companies like pleasanton playhouse, hillbarn theatre, woodminster amphitheatre, diablo light opera company, contra costa musical theatre, dublin theatre company, youth theatre ensemble, california theatre wing, jackson civic theatre, children's theatre workshop, and others. i am also extremely passionate about singing pop and r&b (check out the tom rose band - i used to perform with them). i love discovering new music and rediscovering old music and i believe in buying cds! i also listen to kfog 104.5 religously. i read nonfiction exclusively- i live in bookstores and libraries. i'm an information junkie. i'm also the worst insomniac you will ever meet and i can not be saved. i think thrift stores are like...magical. there's nothing cooler than being different from everyone else. my favorite animals are cows, birds, and whales. my biggest inspirations are the composer alan menken, the writer augusten burroughs, and my friend erica hyland, even though i don't want to be a composer or a writer and i've only met erica once. that said, i believe that people affect people and we can't go around saying whatever we want all the time. i am a true alice in wonderland fan. alice has nothing to do with drugs, end of conversation. nothing makes me happier than disney movies. i also am the MASTER of 1000 piece photomosaic jigsaw puzzles.

My Interests



guitar, singing, reading, theatre, writing, art, fashion, frozen yogurt, disney films, anything outside, 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles, collages, thrift stores, alice in wonderland

clarissa explains it all. clarissa is my fashion icon.

Books:

i don't really want to tell you my REAL favorite books. i am possessive over them and i feel that you just wouldn't interpret them the same way i do (the right way, obviously).
first of all, i am a memoir/nonfiction JUNKIE. i have read most of them. literally. here are some you are allowed to read:
dry by augusten burroughs
running with scissors by augusten burroughs
magical thinking by augusten burroughs
possible side effects by augusten burroughs
without you by anthony rapp
girl, interrupted by susanna kaysen
stranger than fiction by chuck palahniuk
profiles in courage by john f. kennedy
just checking by emily colas
me talk pretty one day by david sedaris
dress your family in cordouroy and denim by david sedaris
naked by david sedaris
go ask alice
sanford meisner on acting
junior by macaulay culkin
post secret
these are literally the only fiction books i like:
fight club by chuck palahniuk (obsessed with this book)
to kill a mockingbird by harper lee
the bell jar by sylvia plath
edgar allen poe anything
spoon river anthology by edgar lee masters
sellevision by augusten burroughs
the devil wears prada by lauren weisberger
but mostly i don't care about adult's novels. i am more likely to read classic children's books. i think they are fascinating.
peter pan by j m barrie
the little mermaid by hans christian anderson
alice's adventures in wonderland by lewis carroll
through the looking glass by lewis carroll
little women by louisa may alcott
oliver twist by charles dickens
