I'm afraid I'm not on Flork so often any more. But if you message me, I will very likely answer eventually.

I go to a community college and work at the student newspaper as the arts & entertainment editor. I love it. A lot.

I'm finishing my Associates degree and then transferring to a four year university to study linguistics and Germanic languages.

Ich bin in 2004/2005 Austauschülerin gewesen, hab in Hamburg bei einer Gastfamilie gewohnt... die beste Erfahrung meines Lebens (bisher).
Mein Deutsch ist leider in letzter Zeit sehr schlecht geworden... :,(

In Hamburg hab ich mit einer TEN SING Gruppe gesungen, und ich habe vor, irgendwann eine TS-Gruppe in meiner Heimatstadt in den USA zu gründen.
Kennt noch jemand bei Flork TEN SING? Es macht echt spaß, mehr Infos unter www.tensingland.de oder www.tensing-oberalster.de (meine Gruppe in Hamburg).

I read everything, write anything, and collect dust gorillas in my closet. If you asked me what my favorite book is my head would probably explode.

Current reads:
"Home" by Marilynne Robinson
H.P. Lovecraft

I listen to a WIDE variety of music, including but not limited to:
Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams (clearly, the best band in the world), Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Miles Davis, Cat Stevens, The Grateful Dead, CCR, the Cranberries, R.E.M., Radiohead, Guster, Tally Hall, The Rolling Stones, Semisonic, Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Blur, The White Stripes, They Might Be Giants, Nirvana, Alanis Morrisette, Modest Mouse, King Crimson, Die Ärzte, Tori Amos, Belle & Sebastian, Seth Bernard & Daisy May, Coldplay, Hanson (I don't give a crap what you think about that), The Chieftains, The Pogues, The Arcade Fire, Woody Guthrie and Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, The Raconteurs, Mary Black, Mika, Nickel Creek, Paul Tegel, Tangled Roots, Weezer; some choral and classical and a lot of folk music (festival junkie).

Current music:
I'm listening to my iTunes library alphabetically by album. I'm in the Rs now.

I try to be really open-minded about books, music, etc. If you recommend something, I'm basically willing to try it out. I have my particular tastes, but I try to recognize merit in everything
(except reality tv and cell phone ringtones).
