About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Publishing
Occupation	Freelance writer
Location	Seattle, Washington
Introduction	I crave worldwide domination and long to become the most googled person in the world. People say I look like the love child of Drew Carey and Nicole Kidman. (If they had a love child.) I agree. As far as personality, I'm told mine is a mix of Sydney Bristow and Phoebe Buffay. Other than that, I'm a pretty normal chick. And I'm rather notorious on MySpace.
Interests	writing, sculpture, photography, watercolor painting, graphic design, art history, interior design, film production, cinematography, fine art, antiques
Favorite Movies	Citizen Kane (really), Fargo, Crash, Big, Boys Town, Forrest Gump, Grease, Girl Interrupted, The General's Daughter, The Great Santini, Melvin and Howard, The Sixth Sense, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Big Fish, Elephant, The Breakfast Club, You've Got Mail, City of Angels, Back to the Future, Pirates of the Caribbean, Anne of Green Gables, Shawshank Redemption, and any really good action flick or romantic comedy. Like to add... just about any documentary.
Favorite Music	I generally gravitate toward indie artists. Acoustic, alternative, and blues. I appreciate music that can make me dance and take me away from the ills of the world. My tastes are quite eclectic. Right now, I'm listening to a lot of worship music in addition to The The and Kevin Max. Jadon Lavik is my latest find. I'm also enjoying my homeboy Tyrone Wells, Ricardo Sanchez, Michael Buble, Marc Broussard, and Citizen Cope. I also like Maroon 5, Rob Thomas, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan, Goo Goo Dolls, Prince, Missy Elliott, Gwen Stefani, Lenny Kravitz, Pink, Lisa Marie Presley, and Avril Lavigne. Then there's Elvis Costello, Elvis Presley, Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell, Sheryl Crow, Carole King, Jim Croce, and Cat Stevens. And of course, there's also Sam Phillips, T-Bone Burnett, Neil Young, Harry Chapin, Jackson Browne, CCR, and Carly Simon.
Favorite Books	Generally, I gravitate toward biographies and creative nonfiction. However, my all time favorite book is "The Velveteen Rabbit, " by Margery Williams. I also like "The Gift of the Magi, " by O. Henry, and "The Grapes of Wrath, " by Steinbeck. Actually, anything by John Steinbeck. Reading is a great way to escape on a rainy day.
