I'm a writer who used to study astrophysics and now works in theatre marketing. I figure if I keep pretending I know what I'm doing I'll eventually stop needing to pretend. In the meantime, I'm trying to live a life that is interesting enough to justify being a writer.

Just moved back to the Bay from New York after graduating. Now working my dream job at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and enjoying all the amazing food and weather I missed on the East Coast.

being serious when I need to be, and silly the rest of the time.

I'm seventeen feet tall and bright pink. But in reality (vastly overrated as it may be) it’s probably my hair, which can be described either as a “luxuriantly exotic cascade of soft curls” or “too long.”

Books: War and Peace, The Iliad, Crime and Punishment, Yertle the Turtle.

Movies: I feel like putting Fight Club would make me like just about everyone else on this site. That said, I love Fight Club. Plus: A Fish Called Wanda, Zoolander, Love and Other Drugs, Annie Hall and all four Step Up movies (long story)

TV Shows: The Wire, Girls, Newsroom (basically anything on HBO).

Food: Chinese, Japanese, Burmese, Xianese. Plus, I'm learning to cook for real (I sous chefed part time in a professional kitchen for a couple years part time but I've only recently started crafting my own recipes)

My friends and my family (the obvious, possibly boring two), plus my Shakespeare collection, post-it notes, my stuffed animal platypus (seriously), and parentheses (apparently)

Muffins

Hanging out with friends and a few bottles of wine. Or writing. Sometimes both.

If I had to choose between being nice and being interesting, I would probably chose interesting.

I see no reason for the "if" here. You should message me. It's that simple.
