I'm 29, one year into my career as a lawyer, still dreaming of being a writer. My main companions are a grey chihuahua called Roscoe and a long distance love in Germany (and Iraq) for the next two years.

When I'm not working, you might find me in a bookstore or bargain hunting. I love cooking and have been searching for hip, unique bookends to hold my growing cookbook collection. I read cookbooks like they are novels!

Random things that make me happy: fireworks, chandeliers, cartoony owls, sparkles, typewriters, Russian dolls, funky shoes, peonies, snail mail, polaroids.

I'm also a pen paller who obsessively writes long letters. I love getting real mail with real handwriting from real, geniune folks.

These days, I'm wanting to become more crafty. The problem: I'm not particularly artistic and I can't sew well. Plus, every attempt at knitting and crochet has been awful. I admit I may be lacking in the talent department, but the passion and effort are all here! And hopefully that counts for something!
