-My birthday's November 22nd and I'm going to be 24 this year. Meh. Not looking forward to that. I haven't really appreciated getting older since I turned 18. I wish it would stop.
- I was born and raised in Northeastern Vermont, right next to French Canada. After eighteen years of that I finally got out and experienced life in other places. Since I graduated high school in 2006 I have lived in Hawaii, New Hampshire, and New York City. In June, pending visa approval, I will be moving to Luxembourg--as in that tiny European country that sits in between Belgium, France, and Germany.
-I started my college career as an Anthropology major, because bones and mummies and ancient cultures fascinated me, but after having to sit through a particularly boring History of Anthro class I said, "I'm done" and became an English major. It was a much better fit.
-I'm a bit of a geek, as my vast knowledge of Greek Mythology, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Mormonism, Romantic Literature, Tudor England, and Vampires, can attest to.
-My all time favorite movies are Interview with the Vampire, The Princess Bride, Juno, The Breakfast Club, The Little Mermaid, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I can quote them, I own them, I've seen each one AT LEAST ten times (probably a whole lot more), and I never get sick of them. I'm not saying they're brilliant works of art, I just love them. Deal with it.
-My all time favorite bands/musicians are Hanson (yes, Hanson), The All-American Rejects, Third Eye Blind, John Mayer, David Bowie, The Fray, and Aerosmith (family obligation). I'm not saying this is the only music I like to listen to, they're just music I've been listening to for a while and still completely enjoy.
-Drinks? Beer my alcohol of choice. Wine's great, but I can easily slip over the edge from buzzed to trashed with wine, so I avoid it. Liquor was great when I was under 21...now it just makes me gag, unless it's in a fancy fruit-type cocktail thing. On a nonalcoholic side note: I do not drink milk--ever! Yuck. Also, not a big coffee fan--I prefer tea. Coke or Pepsi? COKE, every time. It has a bite to it. Pepsi is for the weak.
-Food? Almost anything pasta related: spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, tuna casserole, etc. I prefer pie to cake, though I'll always say yes to a cupcake. Candy: Twix, Almond Joys, and almost anything sour. I like my food a little spicy, although I'm not a big fan of Mexican. I do however enjoy Indian, Korean, and Thai. Other than the hating milk thing, I'm a Vermonter through and through and it shows in my food snobbery: I rather not have ice cream unless it's Ben and Jerry's, I have to have REAL maple syrup on my pancakes, and the only cheese I really LOVE is Cabot Extra Sharp (has to be extra sharp, regular sharp just doesn't do it).
-I'm a bit of a hippie (not too much though). As I said before, I used to work in a health food store. I've dreamed of living in a commune. I want to have my children the ol' natural way with a midwife at home. I love me some tie dye. I wish I could wear flip flops all the time (and I totally did when I lived in Hawaii). I'm a vegetarian (although I do occasionally partake in fish). And I always have hummus in the fridge.
-I am the fairy godmother to these two little girls.
