CURRENT MISSION To stay ahead of the game...but to never stop playing it. ABOUT ME I glean satisfaction from the random and inexplicable. I always have something to say. It usually adds to the conversation, but sometimes it's just, "Butts." I've lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, Turkey, New York, New Jersey, British Columbia, Ontario, the UK, and Kyrgyzstan. I play competitive Scrabble. I fell asleep on the subway once and woke up in the Bronx. I know the meaning of life. I collect shot glasses. I was on Jeopardy! I play cribbage with strangers. I am obsessed with lists. I have ten tattoos. I often get lost in my own brain. I'm a linguistics geek. The ampersand is my favorite grammatical symbol. PHILOSOPHY Just be. That's kind of how I roll. Or at least I try to.
