About Me

I'm married to Christopher Strait, who is the best husband in the world and also my best friend. Overall, I'm a pretty easy-going person. I love literature, especially poetry. I commute to WestConn but spend most of my weekends in NYC. I love urban, black&white, Grand Theft Auto, and rainbow riders."What is he aching to do? What are we all aching to do? What do we want?' She didn't know. She yawned. She was sleepy. It was too much. Nobody could tell. Nobody would ever tell. It was all over. She was eighteen and most lovely, and lost." - ON THE ROAD, by Mr. Jack Kerouac
