About Me

My heart is in Virginia. Love and peace to everyone at VT.

My Interests

i get very excited about little things. i like drawing and making up songs and reading in bathtubs with a glass of wine just barely balanced on the side. i like to cook without recipes and play the piano without sheet music. i enjoy trashy magazines and life-changing novels and everything in between. i plan to get my doctorate in psychology so i can pick people's brains professionally, because i think we humans are incredibly fascinating. that said, i am probably interested in you.

I'd like to meet:

The Sedaris family during Thanksgiving dinner. The man or beast that knocked out Xando's left fang. A patient person who understands and can explain Applied Multivariate Statistics. People planning to vacate great apartments in Northern NJ this summer.

Music:

the pixies, bob dylan, the velvet underground, nina simone, aretha, frank black, beck, nirvana, the smiths, modest mouse, radiohead, pj harvey, the delta blues, johnny cash, sam cooke, belle & sebastian, cat power, magnetic fields, blonde redhead, the white stripes, tom waits, tv on the radio, arcade fire, the streets, peter, bjorn & john, !!!

Movies:

the graduate, some like it hot, lawrence of arabia, annie hall, waiting for guffman, spinal tap, princess mononoke, fellini, the wizard of oz, & lately, anything that will potentially make me scream and have nightmares.

Television:

the larry sanders show, the UK office, rome, and america's next top anything.

Books:

100 years of solitude, hemingway's short stories, a prayer for owen meany, the world according to garp, the things they carried, interpreter of maladies, to kill a mockingbird, extremely loud and incredibly close, life of pi, fear of flying, breakfast of champions, me talk pretty one day, middlesex, master and margarita, etc...etc...
