I've sung onstage at Carnegie Hall, I'm obsessed with musicals (especially Newsies and Rent)(don't ask), I adore Harry Potter, I'm in love with rubber ducks, I cannot get a decent tan, I don't leave the house without LipSmackers gloss, I'm Lutheran, I'm a sucker for a good ghost story, and if one more person practically frog-marches me to see "Return of the King" there WILL be bloodshed. That enough?
