I love to laugh. I've been told I can be intimidating, and I'm as comfortable by myself as I am with a lot of people. I'm a wealth of useless knowledge when it comes to pop culture. I'm skeptical of everything and everyone (usually). I grew up in Ohio went to school in Connecticut, lived in Massachusetts and Maine and am now in Nashville for grad school. I'm horrible at keeping in touch with people . . .and I hate trying to describe myself.

Currently, I am a graduate student in Nashville and I will be finishing my degree in 2010.

Making people laugh, cooking, enjoying life, networking/making friends, not too bad at Guitar Hero, and other random things.

Depends on the person.
