I am a walking catastrophe with a penchant for travel. I moved to Paris for graduate school because I wasn't sure what else to do with my life. I love talking about trashy pop culture and trashier makeup (hello hot pink feathered eye lashes). I have kept track of professors who didn't try to explain some concept (frequently Marxist theories) by referencing The Matrix; the list is alarmingly short. I firmly believe that there are few things in life that can't be improved with glitter and/or sequins. The hardest part of living abroad is the anxiety caused by being separated from my car. I love maps and discussing the politics of how we have created them. I will probably try to marry you if you can beat me at any of Sporcle's geography quizzes.
