I was so much cooler when I was 2

About Me

When I have nothing in my head I whistle christmas tunes. My body temperature is always a couple degrees warmer than the ambient temp. I have the drinking capacity of a 2-year old girl. NYers (outside the ones I know) drive me nuts. Same for people who don't observe common courtesy and let's just say the entire LES. I was once a spelling bee champ in elementary school. At least, that's what I remember. Oh wait, that might have been first grade. I can knit, stitch, and moonwalk, but not very well. I'm a big fan of all animals (except dogs that look like rodents) and I will go vegetarian on dares. I am not a fan of Penelope Cruz, Claire Forlani, Naomi Watts, Rachel Ray, Katie Couric, Everybody Loves Raymond, and people singing "Sweet Caroline" at bars. At all. Some things I like to see: soccer players trading jerseys and bus drivers waving to each other.
