Getting to know me, all about me

Dear Reader(s)....thanks for stopping by. I'm being optimistic by hoping there is more than one person reading this blog. So, you ask yourself...who is this person writing this blog. Well I like to consider myself a writer. My parents would probably tell you I'm a freeloader. No, I don't live with them. Oh God, how horrible to be my age and still live at home. As depressing as that thought is I actually know of several people who I went to high school with who still do live at home with their parents. Then again half the kids I went to high school with still live in the same town as where they were born. Not me! I took the first bus (okay, plane) outta there.

In case you are wondering exactly how old I am...let's just say I am older than Lindsay Lohan but younger than Nick Lachey (but then again isn't everyone). Like everyone else in L.A. I'm not originally from here. I'm an Southern by way of Pennsylvania. Scratching your head to figure that one out? I was born in Pittsburgh and I went to college in Atlanta before moving to L.A. for film school.

That was four years ago. So, you are asking yourself, what has this person been up for the last four years? Well, shave off two years because I was in film school. I've graduated with the debt to prove it, too. What have I been up to for the other two years. Well, I worked for a BIG TIME PRODUCTION COMPANY that was behind one of the BIG ACTION movies that came out over the summer. Unlike a lot of assistants I don't have any real horror stories to tell since my former employers were all nice people. No, I'm not just saying that. They really were.

Anyhow, back to me. Why did I decide to write this blog? Why not? I figure if I can't get Hollywood to read my stuff than I can at least get a few readers out in cyber space to.

I could have called this blog "Tales From A Frustrated Writer" but I figured that sounded whiny. In case anyone cares the title for my blog comes from Dorothy Parker. One of her quotes...it's not like she talks to me from the grave. Dorothy Parker and Tullulah Bankhead were having a chat and Tullulah said to Parker "Why, it's as easy as ducking for apples", to which Parker replied, "Hah, change one letter in that sentence and you've got the story of my life." Why Dorothy Parker? She was witty and liked to drink. If you change one letter in that sentence you've got the story of my life.
