Administrative Assistant

spending time with friends, scary movies, going out to eat, Marshall Field's makeup counters, shopping at Target, darts, bowling, and OMG I almost forgot crosswords!

Catcher in the Rye, anything by Kurt Vonnegut

I like comedies like Anchorman, Van Wilder, Romi & Michelle's High School Reunion, and anything by Wes Anderson, but I also loved Brokeback Mountain and American Beauty. And then of course, horror movies.

Fiona Apple, Michael Buble, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, anything I can dance and/or sing along to

Dave is trying to get me hooked on Kyle XY. NOT HAPPENING.

Aquarius

I currently live in Uptown with my roommate Dave. Most of the decorating in our apartment has been done by Dave, and I am totally okay with that because politcal posters and signed photos of John Kerry are way cooler than a cardinal throw blanket, candle bridges, and swag. If it were up to my sad supply of home interiors, our apartment would resemble a Cracker Barrel.

I work as an admin at an A/E firm in Minneapolis, and I absolutely love working downtown. Ample shopping and great people watching. I love walking down Nicollet Mall on Thursdays in the summer. On the weekends, I enjoy going out to Liquor Lyle's, Red Dragon, and Herkimer (best Bloody Marys in the city!). I am also a horror movie fanatic, and I watch pretty much anything, even the crappy neverending series like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. Event Horizon is probably one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, but Amityville Horror (the old one) runs a close second.

As an English major and word nerd, I attempt to do the New York Times crossword puzzle every day. Except Sundays. The NYTimez Sunday crossword is just a bitch. Also I absolutely LOVE TO EAT, and I would consider eating out to be one of my pastimes. I'm kind of a traditional burger and fries kind of girl, but I love to try new things. Cheese is a staple of my diet, whether it be string cheese, sliced cheese, block cheese, cream cheese, shredded cheese, or cottage cheese, I love them all! Oh, and I LOVE bloody marys.
