About Me


Hiya.I'm Susan.
Quick facts:
Lover of metal music, Star Wars, cute dogs/puppies (and specifically my dog, Abby), hiking, walking, traveling, reading, geeking out on the history channel and similar programs, more metal music, correct spelling and grammar in instant messages, air planes, tuna sushi, cute stuffed animals, striped socks, stupid looking hats, German history from 1870 - present, reading about old dead people, shopping for clothing (and accessories) and exercising. Note that I really love to shop. I'm also a particularly large people watcher. If there was Olympic People Watching, I would proudly bring home the gold for my country.
Lactose-intolerant and stupid person intolerant, I hail from Connecticut and I am a student. I used to study at the University of Nottingham in the UK but that didn't quite work out so I'm in between schools -- trying to get credits while making money at the same time. I work in a restaurant and I tend to "put on a face to meet the faces that I meet" (T. S. Eliot) while secretly wanting to destroy most idiots that walk into the place.
And... the most important thing yet... my favorite Pokemon is Charmander.
