About me

Gender Female
Occupation Assistant to a Special Agent/Aspiring Opera Singer
Location New York, New York, United States
Introduction I'm a former overachiever who now adroitly underachieves with frightening success at a financial services firm. While pursuing my big break -- or even a miniscule one -- in the opera world, I currently make my living assisting a superspy who traverses the globe in order to save the world economy from certain destruction at the hands of the Democrats and Republicans. Since it often doesn't take a lot of abstract thought to assist the special agent, I decided I might as well muse away about things that interest me before my brain turns to mush. Anything to exercise my creative side!
