About Me

"You only think you know me."

Part-time actress, full-time student, future doctor, mother, and wife; I'm just discovering a brand new life away from my ego. I love movies, although I'm not pretentious enough to call them "films," I read constantly, I love video games; I can kick your ass at Dance Dance Revolution; I love Japanese horror movies, Japanese culture, and basically anything Japanese; I own a tiny ceramic baby painted to look like an adorable Hummel Hitler; I am actively trying to cure myself of my own vanity; I'm an atheist who occasionally goes through brief spiritual awakenings; I collect holy candles; I have a serious addiction to Sudoku, crossword puzzles, and anything resembling Tetris.

If you're feeling generous, and you aren't in hideous debt, would you consider donating a few bucks to my quest to become a doctor?

You're not allowed to move on!!!

Awhile back, the guy I dated before David came into where I work. He and I joked around a little and made small talk. At some point, he mentioned his girlfriend, and that familiar twinge of jealousy a...

Influenza vs. "stomach flu"

I'm not trying to be a know-it all here, but it drives me crazy when people say "I had the flu all weekend," and then describe nothing more than a stomach bug. Let me set the record straight: THROWING...
