I am meow, meow, and meow.

My Self-Summary

I think I would be a lot happier if Rice Krispies with Marshmallows came back. Or Planter's Cheese Balls.

What I’m doing with my life

Cooking for money. I work as a chef and I like it quite a bit because I am getting paid to practice something I love doing. I am not, however, much interested in the hierarchy of professional kitchens and have no aspiration to be a head chef. I love baking and could do it for ten hours a day, every day. When I am not at work I go home and watch the food network or old Julia Child reruns on PBS. My biggest life goal, and I say this earnestly, is to one day host a cooking show themed around affordable cooking-from-scratch for a single person living without state of the art equipment. That or one themed around good hang-over/ munchie food.

I am also practicing Improv in my basement with my best friend while I make plans to move to Chicago and study it professionally.

I’m really good at

Video games. I really love playing them. Resident Evil ftw.

Cooking, baking, calming down really crazy people, procrastinating, eating things, falling asleep when I should be doing something else.

The first things people usually notice about me

My glasses.

My teeth.

My pupils which are occasionally extremely dilated for no real reason.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Long answer coming up!

Books = Anything by Margaret Atwood. I like John Steinbeck, too. I was recently introduced to Kurt Vonnegut and am loving his stuff specifically Mother Night. I do not consider myself well-read, however, because I am unfamiliar with quite a few of the really influential authors but I'm working on it. Right now I read a lot of cookbooks, too, and think anything by Ina Garten should be revered.

I enjoy anime although most of what I'm familiar with is pretty mainstream and sometimes I dream about becoming a voice actor. This year I discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender and although I am definitely about ten years older than the intended demographic I still find it incredibly entertaining. My favorite animes are Big O and Cowboy Bebop but I need to mention that Pokemon changed my life and one day I intend to get a tattoo of Team Rocket on my left arm.

Other great T.V. shows are Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, Cooking with Jaque and Julia, America's Test Kitchen, True Blood, Mad Men, Sex and the City, Next on MTV (its so trashy but I can watch it for HOURS), Oz, and Weeds.

Random Movie List= Clueless, Lost in Translation, Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Darjeeling Limited, Coraline, French Kiss, Marie Antoinette, The Virgin Suicides, Adaptation, Clue, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2.

Music = Goldfrapp, MIA, Kid Sister, Britney Spears, The Cranberries, The Cardigans, Blondie, The Talking Heads, Cibo Matto, Bob Marley, Lady Gaga, Queen, Michael Jackson, She & Him, Lily Allen.

Food= Everything although Indian cuisine is not my favorite. I think I'm still trying to hash out how to taste more than one spice at a time. Really, though, I love food.

On a typical Friday night I am

At home watching tv with my dog or buzzed and wandering around downtown.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I have a weird fear of sea monsters and losing one of my hands.
