: About Me

Willingly entering a hole on a mystical island in the Mediterranean to learn of mysteries to transform, or become what has always been me as Alice did and finally, of my own efforts, find a wonderland...

My passion is ...

seizing romantic opportunities at full voltage

I know too much about ...

inconsequential material

My parents always told me ...

that I was too intense

My childhood ambition ...

to enrapture and entertain others

My favorite memory ...

kissing and rolling about amidst leaves with a Viennese scientist

Why I write ...

to legitimize spying on myself

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

The Lady and The Monk/Maelstrom/Nouvelle Vague

My first job ...

babysitting

My best moment ...

flitting about as Cobweb on an off off Broadway stage....

My inspiration ...
