About me

I'm a 20 year old student at ucsb (though I'm taking the quarter off) studying theatre, dance, and music. Lets see... I love performing arts (you would never figure that out from my studies would ya?!) I love the theatre from top to bottom basically.
I love the people, the culture I love the systems, the technology, the art, and of course I like the energy, the audience, the pure and simple aura of a theatre is entrancing. It makes me. I don't need to be on stage, but I need to be in a theatre. Or I'll go insane. Though, some people would probably argue that I am regardless.
I like to act, sing, play the piano, the zither, mallet percussion, dance: ballet, tap, jazz, modern, lyrical, pointe, I love it all!
What else do I like...I like to make jewelry, I like STAR TREK!!! Goodness me, I'm a wonderfully horribly fanatical trekkie. I like to read learn, about anything and everything. PHilosophy, psychology, sociology, biology, ecology, oceanography, literature, mathematics, physics, a

Ed's got a stick up his ass. He should enjoy a twinkie sometime. So this is one of them, huh? He doesn't look like the fun one.

Thank you for your beautiful comment. It's nice to know that people take the movie seriously -- that it's not just some treacly, sentimental Christmas movie...

I am glad you are putting this out there, so many women feel this way, and it makes me as well as others, know that we are not suffering alone, I'm sorry that you know Ed, But i am thrilled to see you acknowledge his hold on you, thats a huge step to ridding yourself of him

Maybe because I know part of your story, but I don't think I've ever seen a bowl and spoon and thought it looked so lonely...

Ha, 6 different names, huh? Schizophrenia sounds like fun. Strangely, I named several of my organs....for writing purposes. It just seemed like a good approach to showing confliction, harmony, and balance within the body. I mainly focused on the Brain (Noodle), the Heart (Ticker), and the Stomach (Buddha). I'll have some blog writing of them up one day. haha
