Music:

Country, Top 40, & Classic rock. Favorite artists: Natalie Imbruglia, Vanessa Carlton, Kelly Clarkson, Norah Jones, Dixie Chicks, Taylor Swift, Corrine Bailey Rae

Movies:

I rewatch romantic comedies for the eternal optimism, and comedies for the raunchy humor

Television:

Friends, That 70s Show, How I Met Your Mother, Boston Legal

Books:

light fiction, classics, philosophy

Heroes:

my grandma, my best friend, my dad, and my godmother.

Being an Adult
