and who is me?

I am Dana.  Just Dana.

Ok, So I’m being a little modest, shy even.  There is a SHORT list of things I paid to learn that kind of make me seem fascinating, interesting:

  1. In college I learned to write clever and revealing explorations of self for other people’s amusement.
  2. In graduate school I learned to make actors pretend to be clever and revealing caricatures of me for other people’s amusement.

My grand delusion life plan was that I would be paid large sums of money to do either items 1 or 2 from that list.

Now let me be frank – there are a few things that the new me knows now, that the old me didn’t know then – that for which I paid to learn wasn’t a great foundation for any type of reality. THE REAL WORLD, my friends… sucks. And the new me is BROKE. Welcome to my life!

And just for shiz and gigz…

78Gs and all I got was this lousy piece of paper!
