About Me



You Are Boston
Both modern and old school, you never forget your roots.
Well educated and a little snobby, you demand the best.
And quite frankly, you think you are the best.

Famous people from the Boston area: Conan O'Brien, Ben Affleck, New Kids on the Block What American City Are You?

Your True Love's Name Is

My Interests

"Here It Goes Again" by
OK Go


You MUST watch this video. If it does not make you happy, there is no hope for you. End of story.
"Pretty Things" by
Rufus Wainwright


This time will pass, and with it will me
And all these pretty things
Don't say you don't notice them.

What an achingly beautiful song.

I'd like to meet:



Senator Hillary Clinton!

I'd like to meet Rufus , again!

Music:

If there's one thing I spend way too much of my money on, it's music. It makes my world go 'round. My musical tastes are pretty varied, so I think this list is going to be out of control!
No one can take the place of my absolute favorite, Rufus Wainwright. He will always hold the key to my heart.

His sister, Martha, is the ultimate. I love her.
