I'm an American who moved to Dublin a few months ago. People keep asking me why and the only real answer I have come up with is, "why not?" I just gradated from college with a B.A. in Sociology, which means I'm interested in social issues and talk about them endlessly.

Currently, I'm just working and getting to know Dublin.

Listening. Having loud opinions on horror movies. Making a total fool out of myself to everyone else's amusement.

I'm kind of quiet at first, but then I open up. So people tend to notice that.

Hal Duncan's novel, "Vellum."
Anything Dave Barry wrote.
"Snow Crash" by Neil Stephenson
The Hunger Games trilogy
Sherlock Holmes
"Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris
All of Laurie Halse Anderson's books.

I love Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, The Gaslight Anthem, Trans Siberian Orchestra, The Horrible Crowes and the Menzingers.

I like BBC's Sherlock and a handful of American cop shows.

Books. Soda. Friends. Education. Music. Hope.

Racism, classism, politics, sexism and gender. That's basically what my degree is in.

Hanging out wherever.

You want to talk about anything.
