Bio

I was born in Denver, CO where I was a colicky little SOB and my Dad danced me to sleep to the dulcet tunes of the Grateful Dead. I was raised in North Carolina and attended a Catholic school where teachers tried to make us cry and they had us march on the school lawn with pro-life signs, possibly one of the number one reasons I'm pro-choice, because I was never forced into it and no other woman should be. I moved back to Colorado and rocked the Rockies just long enough to graduate HS and attend UW-Madison. We joke that I made a choice but I knew where I would end up from the time I was three and rocking the Badger cheerleader uniform. Sadly, I finished my four years (plus one summer!) and left with a Zoology degree, a French degree, and a senior thesis that no one understands except my fellow nerds ("Mom, stop telling people that I researched tuberculosis in cows!"). These days, I'm pathology researcher, biding my time until I finally apply to med school...maybe next year...

I’ve officially stopped reading Perez Hilton and I don’t feel as dirty…

Fave Music Everything. I love music new, old, heartfelt, vulgar, and sometimes the embarrassingly teeny bopper. The iTunes free song of the week. Favorite song of all time: "Ain't No Sunshine"
Fave TV Shows

glee, californication, sons of anarchy, 30 rock, Arrested Development and, of course, True Blood (although I consider it more of an addiction than a TV show).

Fave Movies

The Princess Bride (an easy #1), Across The Universe, Once, Rent, Peter Pan, Shaun of the Dead, Kung Fu Panda (I will not be deterred from my love for animated fat pandas by mocking so don’t even bother), Pretty Woman, Edward Scissorhands, Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet, Hamlet, Grease, Vita รจ bella (Life is Beautiful), Ponette, Amelie, Phantom of the Opera, Crash, Pride and Prejudice (both versions), My Fair Lady, Wizard of Oz, Forest Gump,and Some Like It Hot.
I’m a shameless sucker for movies that make me cry, laugh, or hide behind my pillow with one eye sticking out.

Fave Magazines

Jon Devore’s GLAMAPOLITAN

Fave Books

Pride And Predjudice, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Les Jeux Sont Faits, Candide, the Harry Potter series, the Outlander series, the True Blood books. A lot of French literature. Mythology too.

So basically I’m bored by non-fiction. Judge away.

Fave Quotes

“Give us back our suffering, we cry to Heaven in in our hearts- suffering rather than indifferentism; for out of nothing comes nothing. But out of suffering may come the cure. Better to have pain than paralysis! A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. One discovers a new world. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than stand idly by on the shore!”
- Florence Nightingale. “Cassandra”

“Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out all the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.”
-Christopher John Francis Boone “The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time”
