My world revolves around my 17 month old son, Adam. Ryan [my partner] and I are doing our best to raise him as a caring and compassionate citizen of the world. Beyond that, I am a 2009 graduate of the University of Memphis with dual concentrations in political science and English. I currently work at a magazine and am looking to get a weekend job as well. In my 'spare time,' I study for the LSAT and plan to enter law school in the fall of 2011.

That would be really fantastic if I could meet Adam Sontag again. * R. i. P. *

The glorious trio of parenting, reading, and writing which occupies virtually all of my time. Beyond that I'm a phenomenal drinker who engages in a multitude of behaviors that probably aren't too healthy. Don't get too excited-- I don't do anything that compromises my ability as a parent. ;)

Unitarian Universalism, Activism, Women's rights, Liberalism, History, Foreign affairs, Travel, Food & Wine, Law, Outdoor activities [especially those involving water], Tattoos & Piercings, Alternative lifestyles, Russian culture, polygamy, cults, religion, addiction, and anything that will land you in therapy.

I'll listen to anything. Punk is my favorite, country is not. Bonus points if it's The Beatles, [old] Everclear, Mickey Avalon, Glassjaw, or 90's alternative.

24, America's Next Top Model [shut up], Big Love, Oz, The Tudors, True Blood...and now that I've finally figured out this On Demand business I'm sure I'll be adding to this list.

American Beauty is my all-time favorite. I'll try and limit this to a top five....Godforsaken, Donnie Darko, Empire Records, Blow, and Boondock Saints, in no particular order.

That is one question I honestly can't answer, there are far too many books I love. I have a wide variety of taste when it comes to literature and the topics about which I read. Some of my favorite authors include Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Gwendolyn Brooks, Amiri Baraka, and Chinua Achebe.

"You are neurotic and depressed it doesn't mean that you are sad." ~ Everclear

One that's fresh in my mind is Sean Krause [1983-2009] whom I hope to make very proud one day.
