About Me

BOSTON RED SOX ARE 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect black mascara, more passport stamps, and shiny new movie star glasses.

Throwing myself on the mercy of the court, I'm a major dweeb. I just finished my masters degree in forensic science out in Cambridge, UK. Simply, I learned how to hide the bodies.

(That was only semi-sarcastic)

I'm currently teaching chemistry at Emmanuel College in Boston. I'm an adjunct professor for now, but we're setting up a forensic science concentration in which *fingers crossed* I'll be playing a major role in setup and teaching. I'll probably stay at Emmanuel for a few years before pursuing either med school or a PhD in toxicology. My ultimate career goal is to be an oncologist, but I'll see what life throws at me. I'm enjoying being a professor, maybe it will stick.

Random stuff...

- Because hobbies are for pussies, my addictions include the Boston Red Sox, standup comedy writing, running, crocheting, knitting, medical journals, strappy shoes, short skirts, sunshine, diet coke, and penguins.

- I'm a musical theater junkie. Remember, I warned you that I'm a dweeb.

- The background picture on here was from my last trip to Paris, and the picture above this mini-bio is from the top of the Eiffel Tower at sunset. C'est belle.

- I have a bad left shoulder that's been through 2 operations and many many months of physical therapy to no help. I'm House minus the cane and the fake American accent.

- I don't believe in regrets.

- For all of my "honorary guy" traits, nothing can kill my love of strappy shoes (except maybe the blisters they cause).

- I'm conversational in French and Spanish, and I tend to flip into French at random.

- I play the guitar and piano (albeit nothing to write home about on either, but I love music).

- Adam Pascal's music is a necessity in my life

- Nothing beats fake Prada... at least not on my budget.

- I have a Red Sox tattoo, a tongue ring, and a nose ring... but to the naked eye I look at least somewhat respectable.

- I respect people more who are honest about having a well supported and controversial opinion than people who refuse to share their opinions for fear of making people angry. Controversy is more honest. - I have a minor obsession with the musical Rent... as is evident by the fact that I have a pair of cats named Roger and Mimi. (I also have a dog named Rascal which warrants saying somewhere in here... this'll do.)

-I'm obsessed with politics and I'm done apologizing for it. I'm very liberal, and I love American politics if for nothing else than the three ring circus of entertainment they provide.

- I love my life.

I’m watching the Wedding Planner.

Unless you've just been dumped or you're single on Valentines Day (give me another 12 days), a movie like The Wedding Planner while on TBS is on as background noise. I should be grading papers... but ...

Economic package? Stimulate this!

So the bipartisan effort to "kickstart" the failing economy is cute. Really, it's adorable. I'm definitely not going to turn down the $500 the government is going to throw in my direction, but simply,...

You’re never really asleep and you’re never really awake.

Moments when I question the purpose of my uterus...

-A kid chucked a piece of a toy, that he had broken off, at me at work today. His mother laughed because apparently it was cute. I told her to teach her kids not to chuck shit at people... and she loo...

For those of you who aren't in on this, FOB is not speaking of the handy watch-to-pants connector, it is referring to the fabled time when a certain person whose blog we used to follow went Friends-On...

For those of you keeping track of the mess that is my left shoulder, I got a letter from my orthopaedic surgeon in England who managed to see me, give or take, the day before I left the country. The o...
