About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Education
Occupation	Living Room Dancer
Location	The South, United States
Introduction	I was born and raised in the Southern United States. I am not the typical Southern woman, though I love cornbread, field peas, and greens just like the next girl. My husband is the funniest man alive, and he has the bluest eyes I've ever seen. I'm completely neurotic, peripherally insecure, and utterly frenetic, but I like to feed the ones I love and make people happy. (I guess that is the Southern in me, for what it's worth.) I want to be needed. I want to be remembered. I've been documenting my life since middle school, but back then I used Lisa Frank journals kept under lock and key.
Interests	Vintage housewife culture, southern literature, modern drama, liberal politics, old country on scratchy vinyl, tall argyle socks, wine- fine and cheap, ethnic cuisine, travel/roadtrips, endless coffee, camping, running, nature, female friends, and the color red.
Favorite Movies	Donnie Darko, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Saved!, Team America: World Police, Virgin Suicides, The Royal Tenenbaums, Roger and Me, The Yes Men, Supersize Me, Sicko, Ghost World, Religulous, and anything about teenagers/women in the corporate world in the 80s.
Favorite Music	Patsy Cline, Neil Young, Margot and the Nuclear So-n-So's, Dinosaur jr., Sonic Youth, Unwound, Trail of Dead, Sleater-Kinney, Pavement, Land of Talk, Zero 7, Broken Social Scene, Metric, Built to Spill, and random early-90s indie bands.
Favorite Books	Nickel and Dimed: On Not Getting By in America, Eudora Welty's The Optimist's Daughter, Reynolds Price, Collected Stories of Flannery O'Connor, Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone, Plays by O'Neill, Naomi Wallace, and Edward Albee, Poems by ee cummings, William Carlos Williams, T.S. Eliot, and William Butler Yeats.

When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?

I'm hesitating now.
