So apparently I'm supposed to post 5 facts about myself?

I'm not gonna ask my 10 favorite followers to do the same, though. If you want to know if you're one of my 10 favorite followers, you are.

1. I don't know how to knit, but if I'm watching someone knit, I can tell when they make mistakes, even if they can't.

2. I have a record number of cupcakes in my mouth at one time, but I can't remember what it is exactly. Is it 4? Maybe Mallory or Bethany would know...

3. I am Beyonce.

4. I hate live-action movies with talking animals. No thanks.

5. I have a superhuman bladder. For reals.

Hello! My name is Mallory and I am a recent college graduate. I got a degree in psychology and gerontology and I am currently living in Colorado and working at a nursing home that serves Alzheimer's Disease patients. Working with the elderly is definitely one of my passions and I am so glad I got a job in my field so quickly.

The artifact I submitted is a video of me performing spoken word poetry at a poetry slam in Denver, Colorado. I am an amateur poet and I have won a few local slams. I love writing about the things I am passionate about which include: feminism, body positivity, the elderly, science, my various nerdy pursuits, and sundry other items or experiences that catch my fancy.

More Colorado, you guys are making me homesick for places with snow in the winter. And the spring. And the autumn. And, in rare occasions, the summer. Thanks!

Yeah, and I guess it gets used as an alias in one episode or another (is that a spoiler? I don’t know. I don’t think so? I don’t watch the show. I’m paranoid about these things. Help.).

Ahhh I have not reached an episode where they've done that yet. Although that's not too much of a spoiler, so that's fine. :)

Gene Cowan is apparently a Fringe joke…I looked it up.

WAIT I JUST GOT IT.

Gene is the name of the cow that they do experiments on in the lab. The whole Cowan thing threw me off there. Hah. Cool cool.

I met Mallory's brother and he kept talking about roleplaying games (which I've never played mainly for lack of opportunity) and every time I would express interest or enthusiasm, Mallory would seem almost comically exasperated and make cracks about "running away quickly."

What is she hiding? What doesn't she want me to see...?

Woo! Doing what?

So I'll probably be a host/waiter/expo (not sure what an expo is) for this local cafe in San Antonio in a kind of wealthy area of town where tip is pretty great. I'll be working with a friend, so I'm pretty excited. I'm going to stop by the place once I get back to see if I can get the job.
