Marianne Sierk: Hmph. A summary of ME? I dunno. I'm a comic. From Manhattan - originally from Rochester, NY, where the sun rarely shines and pizza and beer flow like.....beer. Coffee makes me nervous, but I drink it anyways. My days fly by doing....I don't even know what. Stuff like this? Writing profiles on some random....friend site? I e-mail people and check out websites, and drink coffee and do yoga, and go to Target ALOT. I travel for comedy often, so making travel arrangements is really consuming - and I worry about money for a large portion of my day. This is just today, though and next week I'll read this and think I'll need to change it. For the most part, I'm just waiting. My website says it best at MarianneSierk.com
