Bio

When I was younger, for seven years I cut my hair above my ears, wore clothes that sagged miserably around my already bony frame, and stomped around in the mud. People used to think I was a little boy.

 Look where it's gotten me. :P Strangely enough, now I'm the girliest lesbian I know.

My personal heroes are Cate Blanchett and Katharine Hepburn. If I could grow up to be an actress anywhere near either one of them, I could die happy. And a little Aly Hannigan never hurt anyone.

Though my hometown is upstate, right now I'm living in NYC studying acting at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Go Adlerettes. I hope to stay here for the rest of my life, seriously. Also, I have a frightening thing for strawberries.
