About me: I am an author. Or a writer. Or a novelist? What's the right label? I have also worked in marketing, but I am trying to become less dependent on that as my means of income. I also tend to use phrases like "hotter than a biscuit" and "under the bus" (as in being thrown under).
Who I'd like to meet: Mariska Hargitay. Tina Fey. Ira Glass. Christina Kelly. Jennifer Jason Leigh. The cast of "Weeds." Cameron Crowe. Alexander Payne. Chris Martin. Al Gore. Damien Rice. Paul Feig. Sarah Silverman. Kyra Sedgwick. Actually I'd like her to be in the movie version of my second novel, along with Judy Greer. Oh wait. Was this more like "(People) I'd like to meet... on MY SPACE"??? Oops.
