About Me

I recently started my job as the APPS Project Coordinator for Planned Parenthood NYC. Even if I've explained to you what that is you probably don't get it. My favorite thing about public health is the phrase "quick and dirty." I am super excited about my summe flex days during the Tour de France. I love getting free things from the library. I am the founder of Alpha Omega Kappa, if you have to ask what that is don't bother trying to get in. If you are mean to me you will become my enemy and feel my wrath.

My Interests

Le Tour de France; Puns; Not taking sass; Knitting; Openly mocking people with emo hair, therefore causing them to cry; "Borrowing" signs, taking them to London and pretending they're a person, then returning them even though no one seemed to care in the first place; Being a trucker; Talking about Roller Derby; Taking pictures in cut outs; overheardinnewyork.com; Thinking about how I'll decorate my apartment once I move; Spinning to cycling races; bringing things back/inventing things/coming up with ideas that other people steal (like leg warmers, I TOTALLY brought that back, single-handedly, and quilts out of t-shirts, I swear I gotta start patenting stuff).

I'd like to meet:

Gideon Yago, so I can see if he ever read the zine that we tried so hard to get to him. And of course so we can then get married. And that bald guy is still disinvited.I have also yet to find a new nemessis.

Music:

Descendents, Ben Folds (and Ben Folds Five), Coldplay, and Cher. I am super against trying new things, particularly music, except of course if it's the year 2004 (which as I'm sure you all know was the year of living boldly; theme years, they're seroiusly gonna catch on).

Movies:

Anything with Bruce Lee, Clue, Orgazmo, Big Lebowski, Super Troopers, Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Television:

Golden Girls, any and all MTV Reality Shows, Reno 911, The State, Project Runway, Seinfeld, Daily Show, Talk Soup, Best Week Ever, the Suze Orman Show, Deadliest Catch, King of Queens (cuz I'm a trucker).

Books:

A People's History of the United States, Trainspotting, Crime and Punishment, The Acid House, Living My Life.

Heroes:

Margaret Sanger, Emma Goldman, Sue Johansen, who has my dream job (being Canadian); Suze Orman, she's actually more like my savior.
