Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary. -Blaise Pascal

Every version of this bio that I've written has ended up sounding like an infomercial script, so how about some adjectives and random facts about me?

I am: Smart. Sexy. Silly. Vivacious. Adventurous. Tattooed. Loyal. Passionate. Geeky. A little bit classical, and a little bit rock & roll. A study, really, in well-loved contradictions. Intelligent and goofy, strong and sweet, civilized and primal.

I can make a souffle, build a website, waltz gracefully or refinish a floor, depending on the occasion.

I really, really hate doing laundry.

I started studying Muay Thai in October 2007 and I am so hooked that I now train 5-6 days a week.

I work in (and love) television production, but I'm not at all sure that it's what I want to "do with the rest of my life."

To quote Thomas (the original mandarin and the inspiration for this website), I’m “just a girl”… a girl who’s had adventures that became ordinary and ordinary days that became adventures.

These are my thoughts, my stories... snapshots of my life.
