After nearly a decade, she still moans about the rain, and frequently daydreams about Southern California, a wacked-out scene into which she fits perfectly. During her life, she’s collected degrees in English and Performing Arts, spent a couple of semesters at University College, Oxford (England, not Mississippi), and slouched her way around Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
