Cat and the Monkey

A Bit about Me

“The moment I let go of it, was the moment I got more than I could handle, the moment I jumped off of it, was the moment that I touched down….” My Queen, Alanis Morrisette

Something interesting about me; I was in a really cool, fun band called JIMMY LEGS for about 10 years and got to do all kinds of great things with them. Now I’m in a band called National Cat and we’ve been trying to shake the JImmy Legs comparisons for way too long now. I’m a secret stamp collector. I’m obsessed with beautiful writing pens and stationery. I can tell a lot about a person by their handshake. I have hung out in Paris, France and did not go up into the Eiffel Tower. I was on the second season of Rock and Roll Jeopardy on VH1 and won an Gibson electric guitar and amp. I have been flown with my friends to a very famous producer’s house in Kentucky THREE times. I have been to the Kentucky Derby. I have to wear earplugs to sleep. I love going to the dentist. As a baby, I was held by Mickey Rooney at LAX. The only foods that I HATE are canned tuna, lima beans and fudge. The Beatle’s SGT PEPPER album, given to me by my Uncle Bob when I was 8 is the reason I am a singer today. I hate Strawberry ice cream. I love sharks. I have been in the middle of a pod of dolphin. I knew Sam Kinnison and have a couple of really tender memories of him. I have almost died in the Grand Canyon a couple of times. I am an EXCELLENT parallel parker. I have ridden a mechanical bull. I have sang the National Anthem at a baseball game. I have stolen for love. My salsa won second place at the Ventura County Fair a few years ago. I graduated from Oxnard College then applied for the VC Nursing Program waited a year, got accepted, then declined ’cause I was over wanting to be a nurse. I have jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. I make a list for everything. I have never wanted to have children. The only thing that could make me go insane is a potatobug touching me. I have found myself one footstep away from a coiled up rattle snake. I totaled my truck only a few months after it was paid for. I was given the death stare from Diana Ross. I do NOT understand how people live in Florida and are okay with alligators. Like a lemming, I climbed the Statue of Liberty  expecting a fabulous restaurant at the top and  was greatly disappointed.  I have worked in a popular rehab and have seen lots of famous people at their lowest point ( see Diana Ross comment…). I have made a pilgrimage to Abbey Road and cried. I have had to pull weeds from my life and I think about those weeds everyday. Every time I see someone walking an invisible dog, I laugh super hard. I have learned to be happy being alone. I am a naturally good golfer, but my short game sucks. I was NOT chosen for a Barbie commercial when I was 5, but should have been. I was one of the first girls in Hueneme Little League in 1973. My mother has 15 skunks living in her house and runs the local grocery store in Carrizozo New Mexico. I have worked in a popular grocery store in Malibu and have put change in the hands of Bruce Springsteen , Michael Landon, Neil Young and Elizabeth Taylor among many others. I love hard core schizophrenics and am an advocate for the mentally ill. I have been spit on by a llama. I have held a baby tiger. I have spoken at 3 funerals and want to write a book about death. If I could take one food with me to a deserted isle it would be french fries. I come from a rodeo family and am a horse person at heart. Have been called MVP personally by Pat Riley. I never thought I would get married, I never thought I would be as happy as I am…….
