Carla-Orlando Fringe Box Office Manager

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a very busy, but fun-loving kinda chick. I am blessed to have WONDERFUL friends in my life, and to be in a great relationship with a man I am now very happy to refer to as my fiancee. We have a great relationship, where we are happy together, but also manage to keep some independence. I work three jobs; my "real" job is as a preschool director, and I am also very proud to be one of the Box Office Managers for the United States' oldest existing Fringe Theater Festival right here in Orlando. I am also a paranormal investigator and work for Orlando Ghost Tours. As I said, I am a very busy person!

My Interests

I love theater! I am one of the box office managers for the Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival, and I also do volunteer work for a couple of local theater companies (I mainly run the box office). I also enjoy reading, and I like to sing and play guitar. I am not very sports-minded, but I do like to play darts. I have found that I really love volunteering, whether for the theaters, or for charitable organizations. There's a lot to be said for doing something good just for the sheer joy of it, not for money. I got into "ghost hunting" in July of '06, so add that to the list of interests as well. It's very cool!

I'd like to meet:

I think I would like to meet Madonna. I would like to find out how she is able to constantly stay on top, and I admire her for being so driven and determined. She has been going strong for over 20 years now!

Music:

Broadway musicals (LOVE "Rent", "Avenue Q" and "Wicked"), Tori Amos, Madonna, Dixie Chicks, 80's music, Joan Osborne, The Beatles, LOVE Cyndi Lauper (both her old stuff and new). Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited" sends chills down my spine it's so good. I am a hopeless "car singer." Yes, I often sing along to the Dixie Chicks and "Wicked" while driving, and I put my whole heart into it. It makes me squirm to think how ridiculous I must look!

Movies:

I enjoy musicals, new and old. I also love "Gone With the Wind." Newer faves include "Love Actually", "The Upside of Anger", "Crash", "Brokeback Mountain", and "Murder Ball." I have a twisted love for horror movies also! "The Mist" was a great Stephen King adaptation with a HUGE twist that I totally did not expect.

Television:

"Lost", "Ghost Hunters", and my guilty pleasure is just about any series on MTV (Real World, Road Rules, My Super Sweet 16). I was a huge fan of "Twin Peaks" and "Freaks and Geeks", and I think "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" was one of the best shows ever on television! I own all 7 seasons on DVD. I also loved "Angel" and "Firefly", and I think Joss Whedon is a freakin' genius! For tv shows that are actually still on, I recently discovered "Deadliest Catch", which I could watch for hours at a time. I also got hooked on "Rock of Love 2", and I am not ashamed to admit it! I still enjoy the original "CSI", and right now, I will watch any wedding-related show I might come across on WE ("Rich Bride Poor Bride", "Bridezillas", etc.)

Books:

Way too many to mention. Recent faves include Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and "No Country For Old Men." I do like Stephen King, Wally Lamb ("I Know This Much is True" is freakin' incredible), and Sue Grafton, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. I am never without a book to read, and I read very fast...I don't so much read a book, I DEVOUR it!

Heroes:

My grandmamma Nonie, and, after watching her give birth to my nephew, my sister Kim! I have a family full of heroes.
