I am intense, delightfully goofy, and ambitious.

My Self-Summary

I am a self-proclaimed East Coaster from the Midwest who is content with her life, where she is, and where she is going. Granted, it took a lot of learning, struggling, nights spent crying to my cat, and rocking out to the great poets of music (Tom Petty, Jim Croce, Beirut, The Flaming Lips, The Mountain Goats, and so on) to get to that point, but hey - it's all about the journey. Plus, my cat's self-esteem went way up.

I alternate between feeling like 24 is really young and really old, but in general, just relish being a 20-something. Ups and downs, ups and downs.

There are so many things going on in DC - free Shakespeare, random musicians, new museum exhibits, the Green Festival - it would just be nice to have someone to share them with... and be silly with, or serious with, or excited with.

What I’m doing with my life

I teach preschool to children who are deaf. It rocks. I get to pretend to be a dinosaur, giggle with children, and receive mutliple hugs on a daily basis. I'm entering my last year of graduate school as well.

Outside the professional part of my life, I do a lot of walking, exploring new interests, yoga, "Heroes" watching, and reading. I read voraciously.

I’m really good at

storytelling.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have very naturally light blonde hair. People most often ask if its dyed. It is not. Stop asking me.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: "A Prayer For Owen Meany" by John Irving, "The Golden Compass" by Philip Pullman, "Jesus Land" by Julia Scheeres, and "Why I Built the Boogle House" by Helen Palmer

Movies: Across the Universe, That Thing You Do!, Forrest Gump, Coraline, Little Miss Sunshine, Wristcutters

Music: (right now) Tom Petty, Beirut, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Cyndi Lauper, Okkervil River, Ben Folds, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell

Food: SmartDogs ("not"dogs), soft pretzels with cheese, hummus, Triscuits, Indian, pistachios, chocolate, and pizza. Pizza pizza pizza.

The six things I could never do without

1. My cat
2. Singing in the shower
3. Children's books
4. Filtered water (DC tap water = learning disabilities in young children. *In response to inquires: yes. there was a class action lawsuit.)
5. My glasses/contacts (I would have many broken bones and no driver's license without)
6. Being literate

I spend a lot of time thinking about

the future, the past, ideal scenarios, if the H1N1 virus is going to cause as much havoc as the Department of Health thinks it might...

On a typical Friday night I am

tired.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I will judge you when I first meet you. I will honestly, in my head, judge you to the harshest degree possible. I'm not sure why this is, but it happens. Fair warning.

You should message me if

you are emotionally together and have a job. Oh! Also, if you are nice and not crazy. Also, you like cats. And you are funny (in a respectable way). And read. And have good teeth.
