About Me: 2004 graduate of Purdue University where I earned a B.A. in Psychology. I escaped the corn fields for a semester and traveled through Europe studied at the University of Bath in Bath, England. Since graduation I've migrated to Canada and am doing my part in making Being There successful.

Favorite Album: Joni Mitchell – Blue (I decided to be original and avoid the Beatles here.) What I'll list as my 'favorite album' changes pretty constantly, but I will always love this album. It has so many personal emotional attachments for me apart from the already emotional lyrics. Though it's not intended to be an uplifting album, it usually manages to make me happy.

Favourite Film: The Muppet Movie. It may seem silly to most, but it's hard for me to really pick anything else. Other movies may be "better," but this is most definitely my favourite to actually watch. It always puts a huge smile on my face and makes me feel like such a little kid. I mean come on, it's got a cameo by Big Bird! Who can possibly beat that?

Favourite Concert and why: Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve , Massey Hall, Toronto, March 2004.  What an amazing show. I was so blown away by the simplicity of it – two people on stage producing such great sounds. Elvis's voice was at it's best - and you could hear the emotion every song was supposed to evoke in you within him.

Look at me! I'm cool!:  Thing I like to brag about: I've met Paul McCartney. I saw him in the London Victoria train station, and right before he passed me, I managed to say "Hi, Paul" with the utmost cool, and he smiled at me and said "Hey" back.
