Kris (in loving memory of Matt and John)

About Me

I'm Kris, 26 years old, living in Philly. Graduated from Drexel University in 2005 with a degree in Business (Management Information Systems) and a minor in Information Systems and Technology. I currently work in tech support at the University of Pennsylvania. I've been working at UPenn for almost eight years, but just started my full-time job three years ago. So I'm a full-time techie now. Woohoo. ;) I've been with my boyfriend Ryan for eight years and he's a great guy (even if he doesn't listen to cool music like me). But he did play poker before it was cool.

I am addicted to Chapstick, iced tea, and lolcats. I listen to music as much as I possibly can. Everything can be made better by the right music.
