Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Find a way to affect people with theatre, make a difference somehow :)
ABOUT ME
I'm 28, an actor, and I'm just about finished with my BA in Theatre. I'm very personable, easy to get along with, and just a touch OCD, which helps me keep my living space organized, haha. I'm moderately health (read mildly out of shape), but I've plans to focus on that in the near future!
PHILOSOPHY
There is no such thing as black and white in life, everything is a shade of gray. You have to keep an open mind, and remember that everyone sees the world through their own filter, constructed of their personal experiences. You can learn a lot thinking outside your filter, and trying to see the world through other people'a eyes.
Interests
I love to read books and plays, watch a lot of tv shows, and I enjoy exploring to find new restaurants and entertaining things. I like a large variety of music, but my favorite is Ska and Irish, with some independent stuff thrown in for good measure. Love superhero stuff, fantasy and science fiction. Favorite TV series' are Doctor Who, Firefly, and Battlestar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Saw wonderful things in Bulgaria, from the rose fields to Sophia. One of my favorite things was a church that had been built below ground level: when the Christians in the area back in the day wanted to build a church, the dominantly Islamic population told them they could, but the top couldn't be higher than the front steps of the mosques, so they dug a hole and built it anyway! Amazing amount of commitment.
Teach, Learn, Share
Sociology is one of my favorite pastimes. I enjoy just watching groups of people and studying the patterns that arise when lots of folks are put in the same place. There's a pattern in nearly all of our actions as a community, and it's a lot of fun when you notice them :)
