About Me

Currently at Cambridge (will it EVER stop raining here?), next year, law school...

My Interests

I'm extremely compulsive: if someone asks me about anything that has to do with computers, mp3 players, and other electronics, I WILL spend the next week or so anally searching the internet for all information related to that, especially good DEALS. So don't do it. I need to write my thesis and graduate. Please.

Music:

I've decided that the music I like can properly be called "Punk/Pop". That is, I love punk that is kind of poppy (apparently I'm stuck in teenage angst music). My favorites include the Marvelous 3, Rancid, the Ramones, Green Day, and MxPx. I also will always love rap and r&b from the 1990s (I do my best dancing to this stuff in the car, as Jen can attest to).

Movies:

Currently, I'm in love with Zoolander & Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle :) Others: Love Story, Heathers, Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human, Pump Up the Volume, Say Anything, Sound of Music, Parent Trap, Threesome, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, etc.

Television:

Gilmore Girls, Law & Order (OG only ... none of Criminal Intent and SUV shit), CSI (same: OG only), Sex and the City, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

Books:

"Crime and Punishment in American History" by Lawrence Friedman; "The Perks of Being a Wildflower" (read it, trust me ...); the Wheel of Time series (don't read them unless you have plenty of time on your hands); the Harry Potter books; the Song of Ice and Fire series and a bunch of other fantasy series
