A 26 year old graduate student in Chicago. I have eyes, hair, and every now and then a big ass mouth. I live with the best human being on the face of the earth so don’t even think about it. Well, you can think about, but just be ok with rejection.

irrational fears:

• poking my eye out with antennae (reception, not insect)
• spiders, especially moving ones
• breaking my knee (either one)
• tapeworms, botflies, and other such foreign parasites inside my body
• being buried alive

little known facts:

• i love billy idol
• i'm a southpaw
• i can recite shel silverstein's "crocodile's toothache" and have been able to since 4th grade
• if i wasn't a scientist i would want to do photography for national geographic
• one of my favorite snacks is jiffy pop and a huge glass of milk (skim or 1%)

words i love:

• phantasmagorical
• botulinum toxin
• puppy
