I am 24. I live in Brookyn. And all I want is a man to read out loud to me and someone to hire me to watch television all day long.

My #WCW goes out to the one who is always there. Family in the truest sense of the word. I'm so blessed to have her in my life.

I couldn’t talk as a kid because I stammered all the time, so I would just watch. I’m fascinated by human behavior. People surprise me all the time. And I love being able to morph into different characters.

"I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then." (at South Brooklyn)

And just like that I am back at the house managing hustle. On this fall's menu, Barbecue, the new play by Robert O'Hara. #PublicTheaterNY #BBQ #foureyes #basicallybold #bossbitch

Throwing it back to this #selfie I took in my catering uniform, because I will hopefully never have to wear it again, because this week I QUIT MY CATERING COMPANY. Here's to making a living in the theater! May we all be so blessed. #satisfied #tbt

LMAO well now I might have to give that a try next time someone pisses me off.

JUST LOOK AT HOW GLORIOUSLY NONCHALANT AND PLEASED WITH LIFE I AM. I AM JUST SO FUCKING HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW. LOOK HOW MANY FUCKS I GIVE. THE ANSWER IS NONE. TRULY LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE

Lapine behavior continues to delight me with how adorable it is.

Humphrey and Perry used to do this sometimes. You can tell when it’s an “I am happier and therefore better than you” flop when they look each other in the eye and then throw themselves really, really hard on the ground. When they were getting along they would softly flop near one another with the requisite “I am inspecting the floor to see if it’s a good flopping place” sniffing and pushing. When they were mad at each other it would be like DIVING FLOP DIRECTLY IN YOUR LINE OF SIGHT YOU SUCK. They had a complicated relationship.

Today I have the perfect #tbt, because 4 years ago today one of the most important women in my life and I became Facebook friends. So eat some Ben's Cookies, go to Nando's for dinner, and kiss the royal baby, because Marie Batty is here to stay!

I've never done a #mancrushMonday before, but if anyone is worthy of it it is definitely @codygambino! He really made the summer. If there was a Miss Congeniality for Shakespeare in the Park I would've voted for him.

The media and the military still have a lot to learn.

Yes but this is so important

So formative

I grasped two things: I wasn’t as happy as I could be, and my life wasn’t going to change unless I made it change.

“It’s Sunday and therefore it’s Sunday School, and I don’t want to go one bit. It looks like rain, and I hope it will rain cats and dogs and hammers and pitchforks and silver sugar spoons and hayricks and paper covered novels and picture frames and rag carpets and toothpicks and skating rinks and birds of Paradise and roof gardens and burdocks and French grammars, before Sunday school time. There!”

Sixteen-year-old Edna St. Vincent Millay writing in her diary, quoted in Savage Beauty by Nancy Milford.
