Southern girl (former debutante, even) who moved up north six years ago just checking out what's out there. I love movies, sports (Football especially - I'm a Redskins fan, feel free to feel sorry for me), and interesting television. I want to run a marathon but haven't been able to make it past a 5k yet. I'm secretly nerdy - I love comic books, sci-fi, and crappy action movies. I love food. In the past few years I've tried marrow, headcheese, sea urchin, and tongue, which is pretty good for a WASPy girl who grew up eating steak and potatoes. I love animals and am a super loyal friend. And I'll try pretty much anything once!

I'm an editor, mostly for commercial fiction and woman-oriented non-fiction. It's a job that lets me spend my day reading, which is pretty much a dream job for an English major! However, I'm thinking about going back to school to become a doctor. I'd like a job where I can feel like I'm helping people.

Making people feel good about themselves, buying vintage clothes, going crazy over cute animals, crying.

My smile - for some reason people always remember me (which I hate, particularly at breakfast places where they learn my order and then I feel like I can never switch it.)

Favorite book - Ulysses. I know, pretentious. Favorite movie - Splendor in the Grass / Igby Goes Down. Music - The Clash, The Smiths, Notorious B.I.G, Murs, Atmosphere, The Ramones, Joy Division, Bob Dylan. Favorite food - Everything except mushrooms, bananas, and raisins. The best part of living in NY is getting to try out all the restaurants!

A book, a television, my family, a comfortable dress, coffee, pets.

The future - I'm a worrier. I cross a lot of bridges before I get to them.

Getting dinner and a movie or drinking wine on somebody's roof - I'm reluctantly starting to admit that my clubbing days, which barely ever existed, are now already behind me.

I roll my eyes at people who call each other pet names, or make out at movies, but then worry that I'm being nasty and cynical.

You're nice, you like meeting new people, you've written the great American novel and want to pitch it to me (please don't).

You love seeing 2 movies in one day (I'll see anything and everything, especially if there are explosions!), brunch on the weekends, and animals of all kinds.
