Professionally, I am a grad student specializing in Asian American literature, film, and pop culture, specifically comedy and humor. Recreationally, I love all things pop and teeny-bop. My hobbies include playing with Marf, reading good lit, reading trashy shit, grubbin' on good food, watching an inhuman amount of TV, watching films, making films, hold em, being a theater geek, singing, dancing, playing games, crossword puzzles, playing the guitar, knitting, blogging, sitting on the beach and breathing the fresh air, drinking, smoking, general merriment, obsessing, overanalyzing, bitching, procrastinating, self-deprecating, self-loathing, and otherwise wasting away my youth.
Peeps from back in the day, and old friends I let slip away.
I really love it all--emo, rap, hip-hop, r&b, pop, jazz, country, emo, showtunes, etc.
