Hey there! I'm an ex-pat Southerner who ended up in Chicago for eight years and now Los Angeles for just over two. I've been a writer for a long time but as of this year am finally being paid for it (sweet Jesus, hooray!). I make hella good soul food, believe in keeping calm and polite during travel delays, and enjoy those who employ one-liners.

Writing for an upcoming TV series and working on new plays. I've been in Los Angeles for two and a half years, but the first two were overtaken by grad school, so I'm just now getting to know the city. I cook for friends, run in Griffith Park, and go to as many movies as possible. I read a lot (currently nonfiction about the history of Florida politics for work, some Dan Simmons for fun).

Writing, cooking, making fun of movies, running, and trivia night.

I'm tall, kind, and nerdy.

How is Simon Pegg that effortlessly charming? Does he wash with charming soap? Will he give me some? Will he maybe just be my friend so we can share a pint?

Also, Bristol Palin. What's going on there?

Doing anything from writing alone for hours to a pub crawl on Sunset to karaoke in Redondo Beach.

My mother flat out did not believe me when I won Homecoming Queen. I was wearing the crown and sash and she laughed. She just thought I could really commit to a joke. Which is true, but...

You like smart gals.
