About Me

So...ya like...stuff? I'm not going to lie, I am a dork through and through. History nerds of the world unite! I like American and British History and animated things...but if you make fun of me, this dork won't hesitate to kick you with all she's got. So yeah, I'm way into the History thing but I also started a Musical Theater company while I was in Santa Barbara, so that was fun. So somewhere between a theater and a museum is probably where you'll find me.

The person who invented the clapper because they're probably really really lazy in an entertaining way. and Hal Sparks...mmm, Hal Sparks. OH! And Don Hertzfeld, proud UCSB graduate and animator of such wonderful shorts as Rejected, Billy's Balloon, and L'amor.Oh yes, and Bubbles!

Television:

Punky Brewster is the all time best show ever created. Jeopardy, Invader Zim, Powerpuff Girls, CSI, South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, and Sex and the City.

Books:

All Harry Potter Books, Juniper, Wisechild, Colman, Wicked, and the Princess Bride :D Basically, things with witches, wizards or princesses. I also enjoy reading George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, and John Steinbeck. Public History books are pretty interesting too, however the genre does have a few authors that I could do without. Stich N' Bitch guide to knitting is a good read, and Cosmo always lets me perpetuate my neurotic girliness...as does my secret love of the novels Bridget Jones's Diary and Memoirs of a Geisha. (*gee, guess that isnt really a secret anymore) And surprisingly, Twyla Tharp is not only a fabulous choreographer but quite an inspirational writer as well. And does sheet music count? i'll say it does. But unfortunately, being a grad student, I dont have much time for reading. Why? because I'm too busy reading basically. So I will get to read more when I'm done reading...follow?

Heroes:

Karl Marx, my sister, the Ramones. Mostly anyone who has ever faced adversity and remained true to themselves and their ideals throughout. Selling out is not an option. And these kids, they're my heart...

And Jorja Fox (Sarah Siedle) from CSI
