!! Who Is She?
She is female, [[strike:seventeen]] eighteen, [[strike:soon to be]] a college freshman and a New Yorker with a love of writing, listening to her iPod, reading and rereading books as well as playing and replaying video games. She's also a [[strike:part-time library employee]] part-time Lush employee and ethnically Indian.

She loves comedy, makeup art, regular art and bathing. Full disclosure: She's a political liberal (but you probably would've guessed that from reading onward).

Will she ever stop typing in the third person?

[[spoiler:Yes.]]

[[folder:Literature]]

* {{Stephenie Meyer}}
** {{Twilight}} (I've read all four. What can I say? I work in a library and things get BORING.)
