About Me

I read too much to ever be considered normal. But that's my job (I'm in grad school) so I'm resigned to it. And sometimes a good book is the best high. Especially when it's about urban triage. My wry wittiness usually falls unrelentingly short of actually making people laugh, but at least I amuse myself. I spend lots of time cooking, dancing (modern and the famed "kitchen boogie"), going to see live performance, and waiting. I believe art and honesty can save us from apathy and hope to grow old proving this is true.
