I have a tub of costumes living in the back of my car. I absolutely adore singing! If I could do whatever I wanted with my life it would be musical theatre. I think it's silly to ask someone to pick their favorite color, but if I had to pick just one, it'd be red. I love foreign languages. I [unfortunately] have to stick to a gluten-free and lactose-free diet. I tie knots in blades of grass.

I will never sign up for a swap I don't think I'll be able to follow through on, and I'll always try and get in touch with you before giving you a 1 rating.

Push Not the River, Parasites Like Us, The DaVinci Code, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Historian...historical fiction is boss as far as I'm concerned, but I love classics as well - including all things Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde.

Almost Famous, This is Spinal Tap, Surf Ninjas, Girl Interrupted, Pan's Labyrinth, Amelie, movie musicals [my favorite is Guys and Dolls], Hitchcock movies
