How I came to live in Lawrence (if applicable): Born in Emporia. My family escaped the summer before my 3rd grade year. We landed in Lawrence (I claim to be a native). Went to ESU. Upon graduation...I ran back to home sweet home.
Hobbies: Travel (especially NYC),Reading, writing, babysitting my nephews (technically not a hobby--but fun), surfin' the net, acting impulsively, the occasional bad painting, and the one EVERYONE gives me crap for--traveling to events to meet my fave soap stars...guilty pleasure, indeed.
