ABOUT ME

I am currently having an adventure/spending a year in exile (depending on my mood) in Charlotte, NC. Despite not knowing anyone within a several state radius, I moved here for a job I really wanted and am having fun discovering the Southern U.S. (three cheers for biscuits, sunshine, and friendliness! boo to confederate flags, mandatory prayers, and guns)!

My idea of perfect happiness is a rainy day, a good book, and no deadlines in sight. I despise violence and social conditioning. My greatest extravagance is high heels and double vanilla lattes. I overuse the words "m'dear," "in fact," and "that's wild!" My hero is my Father.
