About Me

I am a 25 yr old yankee living in the SOUTH!!!!!!!! Well, I wouldn't consider the Triangle the south. It's pretty much a cultured oasis in the toothless, coothless desert that is the South. Needless to say, I am originally from Long Island and am insanely proud of my NY heritage :) (manhattan is my second home!). I graduated from Muhlenberg College in Allentown PA with a double degree in English Lit and Theatre - Concentration in Performance. I am also a writer. I write Spoken Word Poetry and must warn you, my work is raw, brash, and will make you crack a smile :). I prefer to make comments on the idiosyncracies of life, love and the stupidity of the general populace. I do a little singing as well. I have been recently doing some extra work with One Tree Hill and am looking forward to auditioning for upcoming shows in Raleigh, so watch out. I have an amazing boyfriend. He supports me in everything i do, and tells me on a daily basis how much he loves me and how proud he is of me. He is tall, handsome, thoughtful, caring, supportive, funny, goofy, talented and a good ole southern boy (hes got the accent and everything)! We live together in a beautiful house, have an awesome dog named Scooter and a boat that the beau likes to use alot! Recent events in my life have forced me to rethink damn near everything! I am currently looking for work within Wake County Schools and then will start taking my Certification classes to eventually teach HS level English. WISH ME LUCK!aim- Lexiconic Seed email: [email protected] am currently writing a book called, "Quandaries and Queeries." It is a self-therapy session/autobiography/prospective piece on the inner workings of supposed societal norms/self-proclaimed work of genius! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

More specifically (lol), friends! I have been happily with my boyfriend for over TWO YEARS now (holy shit...its been a long time)!

Breakthrough
