My Self-Summary

I'm one of the few Clevelanders who've crossed over--I grew up on the east side, but, after living in L.A. for 2 years, a short commute to work enticed me, so now I'm a west-sider who just travels all over the city when I'm not working. I love music, whether I'm listening, playing an instrument, or singing karaoke, and I love to dance when the rhythm's right. In my heart, I'm a homebody, but I also really like discovering new places to have fun. Synchronicities fascinate me; epiphanies energize me. I enjoy going for walks, sunset and/or beach not required. I'm pretty much always up for a game of Scrabble. I love animals, especially dogs, but also dolphins, otters, and chimpanzees. And I think there are few things better than talking, laughing, and having a great time with the people I care about most.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm trying to live my life to the fullest--working at a job I love and that fulfills my need to be creative, playing with and training my dog so he'll ultimately become a certified therapy dog, hanging out with family and friends, including visiting those who live out of town, going to as many of my friends' improv shows as humanly possible, and surrounding myself with as much happiness, laughter, and love as I can.

I’m really good at

I'm really good at playing instruments (I play 5), saving money with sales and coupons (to me, it's a fun game), word games, and rhyming.

The first things people usually notice about me

It's a toss up between my petite-ness and my curly, red hair.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Their Eyes Were Watching God, Overture, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Harry Potter (don't make me pick which), Jane Eyre, Rebecca, The Glass Castle, To Kill a Mockingbird, Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, Too Late the Phalarope, The Great Gatsby, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Phantom Tollbooth, Overture, any of Sabrina Ward Harrison's journals, and pretty much anything by Jodi Picoult, Torey Hayden, Kaye Gibbons, or David Sedaris.

Movies: Any cheesy dancing movies, Chicago, Amelie, A Bug's Life, Love Actually, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Princess Bride, Shrek, Across the Universe, Enchanted

Music: Including but not limited to: pop, folk/rock, rock, oldies, some country, broadway, classical

The six things I could never do without

My dog, my loved ones, my TV and DVR (I know--technically 2, but it's a package deal!), the internet, enough money to at least pay the bills, and music.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What I can do to improve my life, connect more with others, and make a difference.

On a typical Friday night I am

usually exhausted from the long week, so I like doing something relaxing, whether it's collapsing on the couch with a dog in my lap, going to improv shows, or having dinner with friends.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I love memorizing lyrics, but occasionally mishear them. My worst was when I was a kid and I thought "The Golden Girls" theme said "You would see the biggest gift would be from me / and a heart attack would say, 'Thank you for being a friend.'" Hey--I was young, they were old--it made at least a little bit of sense at the time!

You should message me if

my profile interests you and you think yours might interest me, too. (And only if you're in the greater Cleveland area.)
