I Can't Find My Pants...

About Me

"When choosing between evils, I always like to take the one I've never tried before. ~ Mae West ~
I'm a Jersey girl at heart, but I definitely enjoy being a "Beltway Insider." I love going to new places and meeting new people. I'm currently on a quest to figure out what the hell I'm doing with my life, grad school seems like the next logical step, but who knows, maybe I'll move back to Thailand for a more extended stay. I'm pretty sure my dream job would be to host my own show on the Travel Channel, but I don't know how to get that job. If you do, please clue me in. In the meantime, I love my friends, my job, my band, and my awesome apartment (which houses a ridiculous collection of penguins, dvds, video game consoles, and a Joey). Also, I really enjoy Rice Krispie Treats cereal. You can never be too old for deliciously sugary breakfast foods...

My Interests

Music, going to shows, not wearing pants, theater and performance arts, watching the History Channel,nerdery and trivia, putting money in my cow bank, eating ice cream in my underwear, making fun of Canadians and Southerners, "al lugah al arabiyya", Muang Thai, making people feel uncomfortable, bright colored sneakers, NY Mets, cereal, power tools, soap and soap-related products, travel, misbehaving...
