A Wrinkle in Time was the first sci-fi book I read to! :)

My VHS copy of Buffy the movie is right next to my VHS copy of Cry Baby. Small world. Ps, my one brush with fame was when I was 16 and working at a Hickory Farms kiosk for Xmas in my hometown mall...and in walks Riley (aka Marc Balucus). I told my manager and she calls him over. AHHH! Of course he was with a tall beautiful blonde model, BUT I said Hi and that my mom knows his mom through the PTA... it was lovely :)

@mandalikewhoa Whoa, I never expected a cutie like you to respond. I do not know what else to say? School in Miami for me was boring, unless I was learning something new. Now my days are Grad school, work, getting my sci-fi novel published and meeting Venture Capitalists to invest in my computer idea to reshape Miami into the new Silicon Valley. :)

@Dinowarrior21 Uh, hanging out at the comic book store with all my wonderful nerdy guy friends. And at some punk shows. Orrrr feeling like a popular girl reject alone in my bedroom.
