About Me

I'm a grad student. My life revolves around reading, writing, teaching, and trying to cinvince myself that it will eventually get easier. Check out www.phdcomics.com for an idea of what grad school is like. I've never not been in school, and I secretly wish that I had the cajones to tell people what needs to be said.

My Interests

Summertime, Italian, Pilates, leisure time, travelling, giant sunglasses, the beach, parks, board games, reading, steak, Bocce Ball, cooking, dinner parties, Sunday Night Horror, photography, languages, sunbathing, cheap plane tickets, sangria, sunshine, barbecues, inside jokes, wearing white when I'm tan. Being ridiculous. Laughing hysterically at the wrong time.

I'd like to meet:

People with really good jokes, really good impersonations, and really ridiculous senses of humor, who don't mind losing at board games.

Music:

I listen to everything, but especially like anything that I can karaoke to...

Movies:

Rear Window, Supertroopers, Monty Python, Princess Bride, Zoolander, Elf, Volver, L'Ultimo Bacio, Gone With the Wind, Army of Darkness, The Shining. I really like scary movies. Particularly ridiculous ones: Jack Frost (not the one with Michael Keaton, but the one about the killer snowman) is the most awesomely horrible horror movie ever, and is one of my all-time favorites, in that really unbelieveably funny way.

Television:

Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Criminal Minds, Simpsons, the Office (both are great), What Not to Wear.

Books:

Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, Life of Pi, Devil in the White City, Gone with the Wind, Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, the Thornbirds, the Alchemist, Eleven Minutes (anything by Paolo Coelho), the Sun Also Rises, the Stranger, Il Sentiero dei Nidi di Ragno, the Alienist, The Time Traveler's Wife, cookbooks, Heat...

Heroes:

Diane Sawyer, Diana Gabaldon, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
