""if you don't eat at the OG, then the terrorists win. It's un-American to not like the OG. Even my 80-yr-old meat-and-potatoes-eating father eats at the OG!""

Heroes

-I love English pop music (Duran Duran, Daniel Bedingfield, Natasha Bedingfield, George Michael, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue...), but I listen to lots of different genres.
-Ironically, I love techno-electronica music, but I totally shake it like the palest white girl around. Casper probably has more rhythm than me. "Farfromgruven" (like one of my managers at work has dubbed me)
-I act immature for my age. Actually...screw that! Age is nothing but a number. I don't care. Why should you stop having fun at a certain age.
-I call "the girls" Mary-Kate and Ashley because they're a little anorexic. (I can make that joke. The rest of you can't...after all, they're my boobs).
-I have ADD...oooh shiny object!!! wanna ride bikes?!?! I get distracted easily and jump off on completely random wild tangents at times. What were we talking about?
-I'm obsessed with Post-Its. No, seriously...I had a foot-high stack at one time.
-I love sports (especially hockey...so much that my cat is named after my fave Panther of all-time Rob Niedermayer). Here's the rundown: Ohio State (college football), Cleveland Indians (baseball), Miami Dolphins (football), Florida Panthers (hockey), Dallas Mavericks (basketball), San Jose Earthquakes (soccer....oh they are back, baby!!)
-I licked the MLS Cup...no joke. I got the picture to prove it! (and I've held it twice....Go Quakes!)
-Mark Cuban is the most awesomest billionaire and I read his blog on a regular basis. "Trump the Chump"!
-I love Steve & Barry's (Bitten is my fave clothing line), IKEA, MAC Cosmetics, Ulta, Target & Staples.
-I like to cook & bake when I have time....and share with others. Rachael Ray is my freaking idol in the kitchen.
-I could quite possibly be Macgyver and Martha Stewart's love child.....or Rachael Ray's long-lost sister who isn't Italian.
-I'm obsessed with my teeth because of the all the money spent on them. I have two different toothpastes (1 for day, 1 for night). The routine at night: floss, brush (night whitening toothpaste), rinse, retainers. That's the routine every night no matter what (even when I'm sick or drunk! well....most of the time). I go to the dentist 3-4 times a year for cleanings. My reward? Janice Dickinson telling me I have a "great smile" and "should be in toothpaste ads"
-I'm a little too boyish when it comes to my car. What can I say? I'm daddy's little girl and daddy likes cars.
-"Girlfriend" is my favorite Daniel Bedingfield song & I FINALLY found a way to put it on my profile!!!!
-I rarely go to bed before 2am or wake up before 11am (unless I have to be up early for something & then there better be a lot of coffee involved)
-That being said, I worked at the #1 coffee place in C'bus & can make a cold coffee concoction that has THREE times the amount of caffiene as hot brewed coffee (I spent a summer quarter heavily addicted to the stuff...crack in a cup)
-I'm 90% Leo/10% Virgo because I'm at the beginning of the cusp. Leo sun, Taurus moon, Sagittarius rising.
-I've seen "Major League" approx. 110 times.
-I blame Simon LeBon of Duran Duran for my blue-eyed weakness.
-I cry every time I watch the series finale of "Highlander" because of Duncan finally telling Amanda how he feels about her. (of course, that's after all the beheadings and other random asskicking)
-I think Faith had the best quotes on Buffy, The Vampire Slayer
-I'd rather watch action/adventure movies than chick flicks.
-I work like a "rock star" when I'm not modeling or acting. (that's your clue, I'm not telling you where I work)
-Out of the 3 colleges I went to, I'm most loyal to The Univ. of Findlay (Go Oilers)...the university, alumni and current students. The school took care of me as a student in the form of a nice scholarship package, so now I return the favor as alumni.
-I find the longer I'm away from Ohio, the more my love grows for the Buckeyes. I don't know if I should call it a type of spiritual experience, but I had chills the last time I was on campus.
-I'm the Recording Secretary & Panhellenic Delegate for the Los Angeles Sigma Kappa alumni chapter.
-I write in my blog to rant, release stress, celebrate life and just ramble out the random thoughts in my little ADD-ridden brain. I find it to be therapeutic.
-I don't want kids because I think I'd make Britney Spears look like mother of the year.
-I look up the crazy dreams I have on wordiq.com's dream dictionary.
-I believe in The Law of Attraction (The Secret) & I'm constantly working on my vision board (it freaking works too. If you don't believe it, ask me and I'll explain how there is stuff on my board that has physical manifested and become reality).
-I once ate 4 lbs of meat at a brazillian chuscaria in response to the challenge on The Amazing Race where people were punking out or couldn't do it without puking.
-My celebrity 5: Daniel Bedingfield, Matt Damon, Nick Lachey, Justin Chambers, Michael Vartan.
-I'll probalby add more stuff here later as I think of it.
Sometimes, I get pretty busy with the acting & modeling stuff, so I can't guarantee replies to every message sent to me. I sincerely promise that I DO read every message though. That being said, sometimes it might take me a week or two (even a month...i have gotten that far behind before) to reply to some messages. It's nothing personal, just a matter of offline real-world priorities. *heart* you though....I swear!
Who I'd like to meet: -people who have common interests (but at least send me a message...I hate random requests from total strangers)
-actors/models/photographers/etc who want to network and/or work together.
-Also, a hot guy with a nice smile (I really like smiles) who doesn't smoke or do drugs (some social drinking is okay), is my height (5'9") or taller, isn't a lazy slacker, doesn't have his body covered with 6000 trashy tattoos (cuz a tat that says "F the World" is soooo classy) and appreciates the music of Duran Duran wouldn't be a bad thing either. If you're Daniel Bedingfield, you jump to the front of the line.
I DON'T want messages from guys simply saying "oh baby, U R soooo hawt". I'm not impressed.
-If you're looking to get into acting, buy the books "Self-Management For Actors" by Bonnie Gillespie and "Acting is Everything" by Judy Kerr. I will not answers messages from people asking me "how to become a model" or "how to become an actress". 1. I simply don't have time and 2. many of the answers to your questions are in these very books. They are not difficult to read and if you truly want to be a model or actor, you will take the time to read them. There are NO easy shortcuts in either career. Take the time and do the work.
You're welcome partner. :) I don't know about all that down at Angels stadium. I doubt they can be worse than the Dodgers, but I still think I'll pass. I'm down for whatever football games we can sneak ourselves into this year though. :)
I love that you are such an unabashed Duran Duran fan. I saw them live once, but to tell you when that was would reveal just what an old man I really am.
