WHO AM I:
-I am a writer and a lover of literature. (I suppose those two titles are rather interchangeable.) I love a good movie quote-a-thon. Especially 80s Hughes-esque flicks. "Shut up, Chuck."
-I am a major theater dork, but counter balance this with my love of football (da.bears) and booze, thus saving my reputation.
-I own every Pee Wee's Playhouse episode, as well as those phenomenal movies he put out. (So, I love me some Paul Reubens...why does that have to be weird?!)
-I collect sea shells from the bottom of the ocean. I should have been born with gills.
-I listen to film scores while I write and french jazz while I cook.
-I'd like my life to mirror the songs of Jimmy Buffett (while we're on the subject, my favorite JB song is "Banana Republics" but, to be honest, I love them all.)
-I have glasses that make me look like Drew Carey, or so I've been told.
-I love to take pictures, but I hate putting them up on Facebook. I pretty much hate Facebook, too. Yet, I’m on there every damn day.
-I get into giggle fits and can't stop, when I'm uncomfortable or really tired.
-I'm a thrill seeker, not afraid of much. Just clowns, falling off of tall objects, and goats. Totally rational.
-My ultimate dream in life is to travel the world, see everything, and do everything. Not too much to ask, is it?
-Weaknesses: hot tea, indie rock, figure skating, complicated Excel spreadsheets, post-it notes, fancy pens, romance, the underdog, character arcs
-I'm kind of just a happy person, who smiles and giggles and jokes and plays...

I just want to write all the time and be able to live a life without abject poverty. That is all...
