I am here for Friends

About Me

...I think my general interests say a lot about me, but here's a little bio...I live in Orange County, CA, but I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Other places I have lived include Fairfield, IA and Vancouver, B.C. My parents took me with them to Switzerland in 1975 when they learned to become TM teachers. In 1979 my wonderfully cool sister Sara Veda was born. In 1982 we all drove across the country & landed in the San Fernando Valley where my dad briefly pursued his dream to act professionally. Incidentally, at that time I attended school with Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley! In 1984 we moved to Orange County, which was quite a culture shock to me; I still haven't recovered...ummm...was a drama geek in high school as @ least one of my top friends can attest to...some years later I graduated magna cum laude from CSUF...okay, so...I'm a late bloomer. These days I enjoy daily exciting adventures as an assistant director at a private school in between daydreaming and spinning tunes...oh, and my username is lifted from the Steely Dan song 'Almost Gothic'...I tweaked it a little :)  

My Interests

Jon Brion at Amoeba Records...that would be the coolest!The Ultimate Cool Cat, The Nightfly...I Also Wish I Could Have Met The Charismatic & Passionate Filmmaker John Cassavetes...
