Judith Pelton:  

Life Hi! I went to Butler University for 4 years in Indianapolis where I majored in drama, music and dance, then moved back to Buffalo where I was an actress for several years; married, divorced; moved to NYC (FINALLY!) in 1981 - where I had wanted to be since I was 12 yrs old. In my 23 years in NYC I had a ton of different jobs - acting, modeling, market research, many customer service jobs in the entertainment field - too many to mention right now.

It's an ok job, considering the choice of employment in this resort town is very limited. This PC is my lifeline to the 'real' world - it is my escape & my beloved addiction! I'm starting my life from scratch - very strange to be doing so at this age! The economy & job market here are so drastically different from NYC that I am STILL going thru culture shock even after 17 years! (I find it hard to grasp that I have been here that long already. Time goes whizzing by when we get older, doesn't it?) In short - life at present (including the weather!) is not my cup of tea, to say the least. But here I am, struggling, and praying I can move back to NYC someday - I miss it te...Expand for more
