Look what I found, just lying around!

Hey Friends! (If indeed any of you are still reading this) It's been a while, hasn't it? I kind of forgot about this little guy, but in my pursuit of a good blog site that's not facebook or myspace, I remembered this little treasure that I started a few years ago. Things are pretty different now, I really don't feel the need to be anonymous anymore. But I do need a place to get out my thoughts and ideas, so this seems like the perfect place to do it.

So, let me introduce myself with a few fast facts.

1) I live in LA (that's Los Angeles for those of you initial-impaired folks), and I'm the only person I know that actually loves it here. I guess that could be because I've never lived in New York, which everyone seems to like better. But I like to think it's because this is where I'm supposed to be right now.

2) I have beautiful 6 month old puppy named Henry. Don't ask me where the name Henry came from, my mom named him and it just kind of stuck. I love him, even though he's not good all the time, and I can't imagine him not being around.

3) I have a passion for film, and my ultimate goal is to direct, but I have a lot of other aspects I want to be involved with. I especially want to do voice-over work, and I'm getting back into writing (as evidenced by restarting this blog).

4) I like to make lists.

5) I'm working as a receptionist right now, and I've gotten to the point where I have what I like to call "appropriate response dyslexia." This is where a person says to me, "Good morning," and my reply is "You're welcome." I just say the wrong thing, and it takes me a few seconds to figure out what the appropriate response is. Sometimes I'll just say "insert appropriate response here" if I really can't think of anything.

6) My absolute favorite TV show is Chuck, and my top 3 favorite movies are She's the Man, Beauty and the Beast, and The Princess Bride. I couldn't tell you my favorite book, because I love to read, and I have too many books that I love to choose just one.

7) I'm a girl geek. And pretty proud of it.

8) And probably the most important, I love Jesus more than anything. I don't talk to him enough, but he still takes care of me. More and more I'm realizing how much I need him in my life, how much I need to actively pursue him, instead of passively relying on him to help me when I need it like I've been doing my whole life.

Of course theres more, but that's another thing you'll learn about me, I always forget what I was going to write about halfway through a post. Which is probably good for you, because otherwise I'd probably just write forever and you'd get bored. Really fast.

So I'll end here, but there's a lot more to know about me, and a lot more that can be written here, so come back. And maybe I can learn more about you, too!
