| Occupation | Pseudo-writer-film buff |
| Location | Brooklyn, New York, United States |
| Introduction | I'm the kind of girl who cries during repeat viewings of favorite films (re: "the English Patient"-syndrome). I'm the kind of dork who counts reading among her favorite pasttimes. I'm the kind of geek who has an Ipod and a Mac and has named both after musicians and actors, respectively. |
| Interests | Music, books, and film. Oh, and good conversation. "A couple of smokes, a cup of coffee, and a little bit of conversation. You and me and five bucks." |
| Favorite movies | There are way too many for me to list and yet I will say this: Spike Lee is probably my favorite director as I have yet to NOT love any of his films. And I have a predeliction towards 'quiet' films. Films such as "The Station Agent" or "Mean Creek" or "Waking the Dead." There's a wonderful stillness to all of these films that I cannot get enough of. Oh, and last but not least, I love Ewan "the schlong is long" McGregor. |
