Introduction I am nerdy and wouldn't have it any other way. I will always be grateful to UC Berkeley for giving me the the greatest undergraduate experience ever. I miss the Classics Dept. at Cal, but LOVE being a grad student at SFSU. The people in Musem Studies are amazing and I am glad to be making such great new friends. I love to have fun and laugh. I love museums, and can't wait to spend the rest of my life working in them. Handling ancient artifacts never fails to give me the chills. I do the Megan Dance when I am happy, or sometimes when I'm just bored. I'm short and damn proud of it.
Interests Anything exciting, including Cal sports (especially football!), art and archeology of the Greek persuasion, being nerdy, red vs blue, watching way too much tv, reading fun books when I should be reading for school, driving places just for the hell of it, being kind of a big deal, video games, my ancestry, the ancient world, museums of all kinds, being ambitious, awkward yet hilarious statements, used bookstores, and being a jerk (just ask Megha). Yep, I believe that sums it up.
Favorite Movies Lord of the Rings, Batman Begins, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Count of Monte Cristo, Fight Club, Moulin Rouge, Indiana Jones, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Casino Royale, The Mummy and Mummy Returns, old school Disney movies, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Gladiator, Sin City, and any crappy Classics movies I can find.
Favorite Music All kinds, mainly pop, rock, and even some r&b. I always have trouble with these kinds of questions =)
Favorite Books How about I list authors instead. JRR Tolkien, Frank Herbert, Mercedes Lackey, Robin McKinley, Juliet Marillier, Tamora Pierce, Douglas Adams, James Mallory, Trudi Canavan, Maria V. Snyder, Lisa Shearin, Jacqueline Carey, Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, Sharon Shinn, Kristin Britain, Lois McMaster Bujold, Diana Gabaldon, Jules Watson, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Robin D. Owens, Gail Dayton, Caitlin Brennan, P.C. Cast, and Kate Forsyth are just a few.
