About Me



current hobbies: writing my memoirs, dusting my roommate's pets, chewing gum in the shower and liking it, avoiding jigsaw puzzles at all costs, scouring my room for stray feathers, making faces at raindrops, synthesizing new jello flavors for bill, funding rare archaeological digs in our backyard, removing lint from ceilings and other hard to reach places, spinning in concentric circles, recruiting domesticated turkey for the global war on aetheism, and pining to become the third gilmore girl.
