About Me

I once at 50 eggs.
But only once.

I prefer Letterman to Leno,
and Craig Ferguson to Conan O'Brien.

I like watching sports and wearing high heels.
[Not necessarily at the same time.]

Some of the most incredible photographs I've ever taken
can be found inside my camera phone.

LIKES:
good activism
good grammar
good manners
good oatmeal
good beards

DISLIKES:
celebrity voyeurism
disrespect
pretense
tickling
tapioca pudding

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:
(and by things, I mean people... and by people, I mean my twin brother and lil' sister):

My Interests

North Point Community Church; living life right; mentalfloss.com; running (total amateur); character; couples skates; righteous beards; social constructions; revolution; dance dance revolutions; integrity; activism; spirituality; expanding my horizons; sweet potato sushi; the month of October; exploring; a good cup of coffee with better conversation and the best of friends; Pittsburgh sports teams and just Pittsburgh in general; Scott Baio; lounging by the pool; Delaware; politics; humor; political humor; the hype surrounding Star Jones; driving in the snow; sleeping in the rain; midget porn; conspiracy theories; the smell of old books; yard gnomes; people who faint at weddings; pompadours; taking quizzes to determine which Golden Girl I most resemble; homes that overdo holiday decorations; people who listen to emo and try to look affected; sass
