LIFE STORY?

Well, it's pretty boring overall! I was born on a dark and stormy night in the spring of 1993. I hail from the countryside of PA, which means much of my childhood was spent exploring strange woodlands with the family cat. (And people wonder why I do the things I do...) At age seven, my dreams included building the biggest pillow fortress ever and capturing a real Pokemon. At age ten, I tried to write my first novel, then gave up because it was too hard, man.

High school was whatever, and now I'm a thoroughly average freshman at Vassar College (YESS! Love it here!). These days, I travel continuously on the neverending quest to be awesome (you should be my quest partner!). Maybe one day, I'll grow up. But for now, I'm That Girl Who Just Meowed For No Apparent Reason On the Metro-North Train, and my dreams include publishing my writing (I finish whole books these days!), trekking the world, and building a massive fortress out of pillows in which to store my Pokemon.

Seriously, though, about that quest to be awesome...
