About Me

I live in Asheville, and I have two Cats. I like to think I'm not some freakish cat lady, but you can be the judge. I love to sing, and I do it frequently, be it alone, in the car, with the Asheville Choral Society (www.ashevillechoralsociety.org)I value truth and honesty above all things. Really, why is there ever a reason to lie? I am always 5 minutes early, and office supplies and other organization-y things greatly appeal to me. My CDs are in alphabetical order, but I tend towards clutter.I value my friendships, and I am happiest when hanging out with a group of people, usually at the Lucky Otter in West Asheville.I am a movie-phile, and I have a large collection. I tend to know pop culture, and I gather information (totally unwillingly, but it sticks with me) about celebrities, and who's in what movie.I am a collector of random, useless knowledge. If you know the significance of the year 1066 (easy), 1215 (slightly more obscure), or 1588 (you get mad points for this one), you gain a wealth of questions for Jeopardy answers.

My Interests

Music, History, Languages, Lord of the Rings, Unitarian Universalism, Emerson College, Unirondack, Star Island, Crossword Puzzles, Publishing, laughing with friends, scooters, being highly inappropriate (when appropriate), large words like 'callipygian,' and 'contumacious.'

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet people that I feel like I already know. Or people who I actually do know.
