6.     I went to Barbizon modeling school. That’s not something I generally brag about. Or tell people. Ever.

7.     I have worked at a local concert venue part-time for 11 years, and have probably seen close to 200 shows. This I do brag about because I think it’s rad.

10.  I enjoy cooking. Sometimes. At least 50% of the time. But I hate when things don’t come out right. And when you can’t tell if something’s done. And when you didn’t make enough sauce.

11.  I want to go to all 50 states. I tell everyone about this goal for some reason. Maybe I think if I keep saying it, it will happen. I just love the idea of fully experiencing my own country.

16. I got the chicken pox the day my mom went into labor with my baby brother, and I couldn’t go near him for two weeks.

21.  Favorite late night hosts: Conan (have been to 3 live tapings!) and the very underrated Craig Ferguson.
