: About Me

My passion is ...

creating.

I know too much about ...

procrastinating...

My parents always told me ...

"You're unique and special."

My childhood ambition ...

to be a neurosurgeon, an astrophysicist, or an actress!

My favorite memory ...

That's like a 37-way tie! A few: jumping with my cousins in Europe from way up high into mountains of hay; sharing a bottle or 2 of wine, along with some of the best conversation, in an all-night gigglefest with my dear friend Miranda in a hottub; the first time I went to the Hsu Lai Buddhist temple and heard the awesomely beautiful chanting, which brought me to tears; counting down to midnight in the midst of 20,000 dancing revelers and getting a kiss from my friend and crush Austin; ...

Why I write ...

It's cathartic, compelling, my calling.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Spiritual Emergency (Grof)/House, The Daily Show/electronica and classical

My first job ...

Working at a deli, summer after freshman year.

My best moment ...

Every moment is a gift, so it's difficult to discern.

My inspiration ...

Mom, Siddhartha Gautama (the original Buddha), anyone actively trying to evolve, dancing, nature walks, singing birds, my dog Destiny, museums, music, foreign and indie film, silence, etc.

Hail Eris! Roll over Beethoven, move over DaVinci. A new era of artistic genius has dawned, the perceptual wiz kid can now have her fun. No matter friend, foe or peer, network administrator or supportive ear, you wouldn't suspect a thing, despite the constant and parasubtle allusions to the Illuminati, conspiracy theory, the CIA, LSD, SOAD, or perhaps ADD and the POEE. This new breed of brainiac thrives in chaos, celebrates entropy, dips in the pool of discord and creativity to cleanse all delusions of normalcy. Paradigmatic misconceptions eradicated, we may now live freely.
