[ Best Divisi memory ]
Making the music video to "Uninvited" at the beach for our private CD release party. So much Divisi chaos in one small room! Erica's filming techniques were off-the-chain!

[ Most embarrassing experience in life ]
Pretty much every time I open my mouth, something ridiculous comes out. I have two different diseases, one which causes me to spasm involuntarily with random statements like, "My Barbies have boobies!" the second disease forcing unintelligible words and sentences out of my mouth with grandeur and confidence, trying so hard to be accepted in the normal world of speech. Sometimes it is embarrassing. But BEWARE-the disease is extremely contagious!!!!!

[ Other interests or hobbies ]
Arranging music for Divisi OBSESSIVELY, working with children, playing "would you rather?" with Evynne, making foghorn noises with Anna, eating chocolate peanut butter ice cream, watching "Friends" episodes over and over, and having dance parties.

[ Favorite Quote ]
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." -Kahlil Gibran
