Busby Babe and Well-Read Dork

About Me

I am a friendly, fun-loving Man Utd. fan. Besides watching my favorite team play, I love reading (Nick Hornby and Richard Russo are my favorite authors), going to the theatre (Rent and My Fair Lady are my all-time favorite musicals), and traveling. Please don't ask me where I'm from. Every time someone asks me that question, I pause and don't know how to answer. My family and I moved all over the U.S. when I was a kid, but we settled in New Jersey when I was a kid. I have lived in Boston for 5 years (working in publishing) and I love it.

My Interests

Music:

Travis, Stereophonics, U2, Elbow, Foo Fighters, Cranberries, Leaves, and Coldplay. The Beatles, of course. And the reason for the dork label in the headline: SHOW TUNES!!! Stephen Sondheim is amazing.
