: About Me

I'm a senior at The College of New Jersey, finishing up a major in Music Performance on flute. I also play the piano and guitar, and recently purchased a ukulele (God only knows how that one will turn out). I want to play in LA film studios one day, & also churn out a couple of short stories & magazine articles along the way. Here's to hoping.

My passion is ...

experiencing the unusual & intense. (Whoaaaa).

I know too much about ...

anything not having to do with numbers.

My parents always told me ...

not to be a Sarah Bernhardt. I always thought her heart was burning.

My childhood ambition ...

IS to be a writer. Awww. Also to make out with Batman's sidekick in the black & white shows.

My favorite memory ...

is sea diamonds seen from long-gone grandparents' houseboat in the Chesapeake.

Why I write ...

depends on what I'm writing?

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

Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle/Freaks and Geeks/Electric President

My first job ...

welp, does scrubbing the bathroom floor for $5 count?

My best moment ...

comes right after playing something with an orchestra. That full, overflowing-to-busting thang.

My inspiration ...

has something to do with leetle children, quirks & oddities, & good fiction.
