Tidbits About Me

I'm 26, though I have been forgetting that number lately in my late twenties. I live in Brooklyn. I was born in Queens.

Here are some pictures of me and my older brother; he loves me, really, though he might not show it sometimes. Here are some pictures of my mom; she was quite the looker back in the day. Here are some of my dad. He died a little while ago. This is what my grandmother looked like holding a cigarette -- she didn't smoke.

I have a license but I can't drive; I hate car culture, and I can only imagine myself living in a place where I could exist without a vehicle. Lately I've been thinking about Budapest.

I am compassionate to a fault - I will always try to understand your motivations, even if you're completely out of line. I do not see the world in black and white - everything in the world is grey to me. There are no absolutes. You would not want me on your debate team because I will always see where the other side is coming from.

I have a difficult time relating to cats. I am also highly allergic to them. I am a dog person all the way and believe there are some essential differences between dog people and cat people.

I might use too many semi-colons, but I'm not going to stop: they are my favorite punctuation mark.

I probably walk faster than you do. I can't help this.

I drink tea with milk. I only have coffee after a good meal, ideally with Bailey's. I've also recently discovered how well Bailey's goes with homemade hot chocolate. Yum.

I am very shy and have difficulty in new social situations. If you see me having trouble, be nice to me, ask me a question, give me drink, and I'll be ok.

I procrastinate to the end. It is my worst quality.

I make a very good key lime pie.

I have never broken a bone.

I frequently have dreams about my teeth cracking, crumbling, and falling out. If you have any idea what these dreams mean, email me.
