About Me

SO angry. A one-time member of the Fred Savage fan club. Your garden variety worrywart. And above all else, a lady.

My Interests

Sugar gliders. Sleep disorders. The Dirty Jerzey Shore. Mix tapes made off the radio circa 1992-95. Donal Logue. Boggle. Dropping it like it's hot. Amtrak. Script supervising.

I don't usually do this, but here comes a blog...

Honestly, who writes this?  I found this on Craig's List NYC during my oh so unsuccessful job hunt, and STILL can't get over it.  No, really, how do you...?  I mean, why would he...?&nb...
