I am here for Friends

About Me

I graduated in summer '05 from Illinois State University with a BA in Politics and Government. I currently work in the Washington, DC office of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

My Interests

I'm very interested in politics, including foreign policy... especially the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict. Count me blue baby! I also like hanging out with friends, spending time outdoors... pretty typical stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Since moving out to DC I've met Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton... now the only person left on my list is Nelson Mandela.

Music:

I guess my top 5 would be Nora O'Connor, The Reputation, Green Day, Brad Cotter, & The Donnas

Movies:

I generally enjoy all sports movies... Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Hoop Dreams, Rudy, etc. I also like romantic comedies. Outside of that, my favorites are probably Coming to America, The Three Fugitives, & What About Bob?.

Television:

I'm a huge Law & Order fan (especially SVU)! And, I hate to admit it, but I totally dig Everwood and One Tree Hill as well.

Books:

Love 'em... my favorites are probably Youth in Revolt, The Lovely Bones, & anything by Margaret Atwood.

Heroes:

Sojourner Truth-a true example of perseverance, integrity, and strength.
