So I guess I live in LA now. I never thought I would say that.. a lot of people thought I would never say that. But after a lot of pushing and prodding from my family, friends, and even Joan Cusack (who came to me in a dream *random*) I decided that it was now or never.
Honestly, anyone who knows me well probably didn't expect this to ever happen. I am typically a *dreamer* not a *doer*. I have spent the past 20 years of my life trying to figure out who the hell I want to be.. my family has watched me blossom from a soccer player/ballerina into an actress, poet, singer, nanny, pet sitter, American Idol, photographer, producer, writer, director, and costume designer. One time my father sat me down and told me that he thought that maybe my true passion in life was finding someone to share it with, and and start a family...(was that a cry for grandchildren??) Although that is a goal of mine someday, it was never the only dream I have had. Apparently, Hollywood is the only place to make all of my dreams come true..so I guess that is why I am here.Leaving Arizona was probably one of the toughest decisions I have ever had to make. I could compare it to leaving my life in MN, but that decision was made for me- and I really didn't have a choice. I spent almost half of my life in AZ.. 12 years.. that is a long ass time. So many memories, but it was definitely time to get over the *fear* of becoming the person I have always dreamed of, and accept the fact that this place that I have *loathed* for so long, could possibly be the only place where that can happen.
