About me:

There's usually more content on my blog.

I'm kind of high-strung, type A (though invariably 15 minutes late), and a bit of a control-freak at times. I survive my sensitivity through cultivated indifference. I used to be a lot of fun. I'm most excited when advocating something I believe in, and I can never get enough of the stage. To that end, sometimes I do a little of that citizen journalism and vlogging thing (used to do it for MTV Choose or Lose, too).

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a good sense of humor who can put up with a little crankiness. Nerds and geek are cool. Ride a bike? Even better. Show me where the hell to bike in DC.
