About Me

I am interested in iced tea, felt-tip pens, the brain and assorted related subjects, the French and American versions of "Elle" magazine, NPR, most aspects of "losing it on the dance floor", and interrobangs.

I am less interested in inaccessible modern art, the British version of "Elle", the "dancing" part of "losing it on the dance floor", inappropriate semicolon usage, most slam poetry, and most cream-based pasta dishes.

I am ambivalent towards small children, draft beer, and (yes!) the Oxford comma.

I am trying to be sweet, and letting who will be clever, but (and I'm sorry, Beaufort) I'm not very good at it yet.

My Interests

Sickle pears, Sid Meier's Civilization, finding a decent gyro in New York City, various tank tops, and keeping it real. Being a LiAnne the former Chicago Luvabull super-fan.

Maybe Lizzie Rossetti, just to see what all the fuss was about. Eleanor Roosevelt, John Krasinski, either or. Because of what the fuss was about.
