I'm a 28-year-old Yankee who learned quickly you don't mess with Texas wildlife (looong story involving a Febreze bottle and beetles so large they could eat my dog). And in my spare time, when I'm not hunting down bugs with a room-filling fresh scent, I'm also the arts and entertainment reporter for the Advocate.
Let's see, what else, what else? I have a fetish for dying my hair different colors every few months or so, I have a tendency to live so far beyond my means it's safe to say we've never actually met and my biggest pet peeve is people who are creeped out by double dipping.
I'm not much of a cook (unless you consider bread, cheese and an iron a gourmet meal...which fortunately I do), I'm a horrible driver (or so the Department of Transportation has told me...repeatedly) and I love telling dumb jokes (a dyslexic man walks into a bra).
Um...I guess the only other thing of note is that I have a male dog who I named Buffy, but just like the boy named Sue, it only makes him stronger.

"Thanks for the advise, did the Art league not give you anything on the last show, there was no article on the winners or pictures of the show. I don't know if you remember me or whether you know my work, but I've been in the paper a few times the past couple years. I'd like to meet you sometime. I'm trying to get the Art scene a little more popular around here. It's dead compared to some towns this size, but i need help. "

"Hi! Just wanted to say I love your photo....I still wear my wedding veil around the house sometimes when I am cleaning and stuff just for fun. It makes me feel like a princess! Ha I can't believe I am telling you that, but somehow I think you will understand."

"Thought I should tell you I found a mondo-sized collection of Dave Barry in the library book sale. You can find it on "stage right" near the back. If you want, I'll draw a picture, scan it and post it. Of course, it would've been so much nicer if I'd just bought the thing, wrapped it and delivered it. Unfortunately, I had already spent my last dollar on a book by Will Durant - "The Story of Civilization." What would Dave say to that? "

"I hope you got to watch the movie version of Big Trouble this evening. I'd never seen it, at least not in its entirety, until tonight. I wet my britches laughing, but I kept thinking of the book version while the movie was running. Some of the subtle satire was left out, like the inanity of the call-in sports program. Tim Allen was great, as was Rene Russo. I've been fond of Zooey Deschanel ever since I saw her in Elf. As for Sofia Vergara, well, if that doesn't seal the deal, I don't know what would. "

"Dear Miss (for now) Aprill, Recently, the Advocate ran an article about a marijuana cafe opening up in Portland. I thought of you, naturally, because I thought maybe you'd go to Oregano - I mean, Oregon - to write another story similar to the one about the Shiner brewery. Of course, if you were to sample the wares like you did at Shiner, you could also write a story about potato chips, pizza, donuts, drive-through burger joints, . . . you get the idea. "

"KIXS? That's country music, right? No wonder I missed hearing you. If you were on the radio in the summer, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. The only days I got up before 10:00 was that week I spent hounding everyone at the Advocate. Did you ever read that book by Dave Barry, by the way?"

"Speaking of Barbie and jobs she never had, the thought occurred to me as I was listening to the local FM chatter that you should be on the air commenting on newly-released movies, or whatever other topic comes up. I hate getting up for work, but listening to your comments might make it worth the trouble. "
