About Me

im your typical teenage nerd. im obsessed with classical music and opera. i love to read. i love ballet, but i no longer view it as a career, just a very wonderful hobby. im in love with the museum of natural history. im going to be a 20 year-old freshman at duke university next year, where i hope to persue some kind of BS degree (thats bachelor of science :-)), and possibly a BA in german? i guess you can say im following in my sister's footsteps. she's getting her doctorite at USC after having completed a year in Koln on a fulbright. she's smarter than your sister. oh, and my parents are more awesome than yours....my dad is a coach at the metropolitan opera (so you can see where i get it from) and my mom is part time therapist, part time piano teacher, and full time invested in my family.im a shift supervisor at the lincoln center starbucks for this year, and i work with some awesome people...i love coffee, and i also love trying to explain to people the difference between a latte and a cappucino, (note the sarcasm). (its the amount of foam to milk ratio btw). and i really love it when people think my red hair is natural. (garnier 100% #660- intense auburn).im me. totally quirky, overly caffinated, and always outside my box. oh, and im obsessed with crossword puzzles.table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' width='600'
You scored as Elizabeth Bennet. As one of Austen's most beloved characters, Elizabeth Bennet represents what most women would like to become: strong, independent, and loyal. Of course, she has her faults including a stubborn will of iron and a clinging to first impressions. Overall, Lizzie is bright and lovable...something to admire and aspire to.
