About A Serious Girl
Last modified: December 4, 2011
My name is Patricia Frost and I’m married to a handsome, creative, brainy man named Michael who finds much of what I write on this website to be mildly embarrassing. We have two dogs, two cats, and a pet python named after the devil. We spend most of our free time vacuuming.
I am a free-lance writer, a retired child-actor, a Certified Family Law Paralegal, and my day job is in digital marketing. I earned a BFA from a university-accredited art conservatory where I spent four years rolling around on the floor in white body make-up making funny noises and watching my tongue in a hand mirror. My college transcripts include Yoga, Tai Chi, Punk Writing, Queer Books, and Singing For Actors. In the future I’d like to go back to school and study science. I’ve always liked looking at the insides of things.
I love poop jokes, malls, beer, and dead things. I’m incredibly awkward at dinner parties and business lunches. I’m terribly shy around people I don’t know and very loud around people I love. I’d rather stay home with good friends than go out for a night on the town. I’m completely baby crazy but too scared to make the jump. Apparently, you can’t leave your baby in a crate when you go to the movies.
In addition to A Serious Girl, I edit, compile and write for Ron and Robert on Divorce, a blog that provides information and education to families in crisis. I started writing my first blog, Frosty-licious, in May of 2007, just three months after moving three thousand miles across the country. I’d left my home, family, and friends on a whim and was paying the price in homesickness and culture shock. At first I used blogging as a way to whine about how awful my first-world problems were. After a while I started writing instead of whining and before I knew it writing became my sanctuary. This blog is my sanctuary. Thank you for reading.
