Here's
a brief summary about me in 60 words or less:
I enjoy writing
and telling stories. I identify with turtles more than any other
living creature. I'd die without good literature to read on a
regular basis. I have a crazy mad crush on Manny Ramirez. I'm
obsessed with the color purple. I believe that tumbleweeds are
evil alien creatures. I can't live without coffee.

Oh, that
cute little sock monkey I'm holding is Vladamir. I rescued him
from a crowded bin at Urban Outfitters on Melrose Avenue one
weekend. I was searching for bubble bath and found him instead.
He was a late birthday present for Mike. I adore Vlad.
