Hrmmm, so I hate trying to describe who I am in a tight little couple of paragraphs. I don't know if I fit into any particular box. In fact, I've made a career of sorts of not doing that. I love music and play it when I get the chance (though it fell away more than I like from school on), my interests range from watching Scrubs way too much to politics to good movies to Chuck Palahniuk. I have a tiny puppy. I work way too much and am committed to being the best at what I do. I have two blogs. I've done the following things: repaired a laptop blindfolded; had a radio show; played a show with Racetrack (bonus points available); bounced off of a sliding glass door; been published academically; crocheted; invented a dessert; and made law.

Okay, so the made law part may have given it away. I'm an attorney, a fairly new one. So I work a lot. Its part of what I signed up for. I also am involved with two trial lawyers groups, a couple other associations, and am always looking to do more. Its a bad habit, but I think that since I went through it, I may as well do good with it, otherwise, what's the point, right?

As to what I'm working towards with that line of my life? Who knows.

sex. Okay, that's really stolen from Eugene Mirman (again, bonus points available). I'm good at listening. I love to cook. Absolutely love it. Went to a party the other night and made strawberry banana wontons with cardamom and nutmeg. A chocolate dipping sauce to go with it infused with bacon, with a touch of cayenne and white pepper. Tomorrow night will be a chai bread pudding. Its fun!

That I try to make people feel better with humor, but it usually comes at the cost of looking like someone who doesn't handle serious moments well. But I do know when to turn it off.

Oh man, this is too long to list. I'm a foodie, so any food is good. Books? I'm reading David Cross at the moment. I love Craig Clevenger and Chuck Palahniuk for books. Movies...I can watch Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind over and over and over and over.

What I might be missing

well half of my friday nights are taken up by either Trial Lawyer's College or a Trial Skills Workshop. So awesome, huh? Otherwise, I'm likely to be out at a show or catching up with friends.

I have trust issues...but who doesn't. I am working on it though.

you thought about messaging me?
