About Me

Iâ€™m a writer, poetry, prose, short stories, booksâ€¦ you name it, I love to write it

One day I will publish a book on biphobia

I am the â€œcreative typeâ€

I am the â€œphilosophical typeâ€

I am the â€œintellectual typeâ€

I got an 1140 on the SATs but graduated from college with a 3.9 gpaâ€¦ â€œmeasures critical thinking skills that are needed for academic success in collegeâ€ my fâ€™n ass

I am in Brooklyn Collegeâ€™s English Masters program

I work for a life insurance company (doing something you probably couldnâ€™t care less about)

Friends and family are two of my top priorities

I am good to my friends and they are good to me in return

I donâ€™t believe in â€œgodâ€, but I do believe in something greater than humanity

I was born Jewish but I hardly consider myself that

I am bisexual, meaning I find both men and women attractive, not that I canâ€™t maintain a monogamous relationshipâ€¦ speaking of whichâ€¦

I am in a healthy monogamous relationship that is approaching its 2-year mark

I love my boyfriend and couldnâ€™t be happier to have found him

I am a Pescetarian, and would be a vegan if my diet werenâ€™t already so restricting

I am allergic to chocolate, yeast and milk, and I donâ€™t eat sugar or anything made with white flour

I have an oral fixation, which is the culprit behind my disgusting gum-chewing habit

I probably drink about 2 gallons of water a day

I am a foodie at heart

My favorite snack after Granny Smith apples are Bugs Bunny sized carrots

I love to cook and I especially love to bake

I canâ€™t get enough of The Food Network, or any cooking show for that matter

I am a people pleaser

I love playing hostess

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and I spend the entire year looking forward to it

I love giving holiday gifts a lot more than receiving them

I enjoy the outdoors and becoming one with natureâ€¦

I love picnics, bicycling, camping, hiking, rowboating, canoeing, pretty much anything that involves being in nature

I love the beach at night

I love to explore

One of my dream vacations is to go backpacking through Europe

I donâ€™t like concerts and usually try to stay away from large crowds

Iâ€™m not a big fan of going to the movies, but I am an absolute tv-show-holicâ€¦ I have my favorite shows and wait for new episodes with baited breath

I love to read, and I have recently discovered my love for the library

I have a slight obsession with buying a house

I love to decorate, and have spent the last four years â€œperfectingâ€ the interior of my apartmentâ€¦ which I am still working on

I absolutely love scented candles and incense

I have a fascination with anything Asian

I am true to myself and never pretend to be someone Iâ€™m not

I am not very funny but still know how to crack myself up :P

I can be stubborn and hard-headed as hellâ€¦ but I can also be extremely easygoing and laid back

I KICK ASS at Karaoke Revolution
