Bio

About me: very silly and a little bit spastic (as in, I like to break out in impromptu song-and-dance numbers for coworkers just to keep the day moving). I like to think I’ll try almost anything once. Yes, you can go ahead and test me on that. I laugh a lot, even when I’m sad. Dark humor is most entertaining.

I always seem to have a song running through my head. I think it gets in the way of a lot of deep thoughts I might otherwise have. Yes, I’d be a genius were it not for those Peter Cetera lyrics.

I love all things extreme and a little bit insane, especially as it pertains to health and fitness. So if you practice calorie restriction for longevity or are training for Badwater, you can likely fascinate me for hours at a time and make me wish I were a fraction as disciplined and nuts as you. Um, I love you, Dean Karnazes! You can follow my health obsessions on my other infinitely entertaining and no-less irreverent blog, Health-Bent Bitch.

Oh, and P.S. - I geek out over personality disorders, brain function abnormalities, and all things neuroscience. God, I love the human brain.
