About Me

I'm a redhead, a Dukie, a Master (oftheuniverse), a gainfully employed "adult," a goofy, goofy individual who tells the truth usually to my detriment (or to the point of making an ass of myself), a recovering bookstore monkey, an English dork, a Guinness lover, over a quarter century old, front page news (?). When I'm not working or being dissed by customers, teenagers or potential employers, I enjoy movies, music, reading and writing.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Dead people: Audrey Hepburn, Joan of Arc, Pope John Paul can'trememberthenumber, Jackie O, Flannery O'Connor, Jonathan Swift, Johnny Cash, Jack Kerouac, various relatives (among others).Live people: Basically, anyone funny and/or awesome. Including but not limited to anyone in the Sedaris family, Tina Fey, Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, Jake Gyllenhall, Teri Gross, Bono, Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Carter, Sarah Vowell, Ira Glass, Mos Def.
