This is my "I intend to play" Idol post. Let's see how long I last with how busy I am right now.

In the last two and a half years, I've spent thousands of dollars on improv. I couldn't tell you exactly how much, because I haven't kept track. Six 6-week classes have been $235-265 a pop.

At the age of 3, I was granted US citizenship through my parents. They were born in Wyoming and Indiana. Though I've only lived in the USA since June 2014, my roots are with this country ( Read more... )
