I need Spring Break.

About Me

I finally said goodnight and thank you to Syracuse University, and now I'm back in the wonderful town of Old Forge. Now I'm a sophomore at Wilkes University and am majoring in journalism. I'm back as a staff writer for The Triboro Banner, and I still work at Cinemark. I'm quite fond of bringing in baked goods there to try to win people onto my side =)

My Interests

books that aren't school-related, trashy magazines, Sheetz, gym, running, Wegman's, Indian food, eBay, and crappy movies that I adore and everyone else hates.

I'd like to meet:

Eva Peron.

Music:

Madonna, Billy Joel, Alanis Morissette, anything on 92.1

Movies:

A League of Their Own, Evita, American Beauty, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Black Snake Moan, Freedom Writers, Talladega Nights, Bringing Down the House, Me Myself & Irene, Major League 1 & 2, Anchorman, The Ring, any of the Child's Play movies, the Scary Movies, and earlier Disney movies.

Television:

Just Shoot Me and Law and Order:SVU

Books:

Memoirs of a Geisha, White Oleander, The Scarlet Letter, The Devil Wears Prada, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, Angela's Ashes, Summer Sisters, Smart Women, Family History, The Ivy Chronicles, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Little Altars Everywhere, Flowers for Algernon, Middlesex, In Her Shoes, Little Children, She's Come Undone, The Bluest Eye, The Nanny Diaries, Girl, Interrupted, The Giver, The Notebook, The Pact, Keeping Faith, Plain Truth, My Sister's Keeper, Vanishing Acts, and the books by V.C. Andrews, Mary Higgins Clark, and Dave Barry. And Oprah's Book Club picks, I'll admit it.
