I'm also awesome because...

I have red hair.

I blog about television and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I have been published in The Atlantic, Chicago Tribune's TribLocal and a host of other newspapers and magazines.

I lived in Xalapa, Veracruz, México during college, so I may be called a "jalapeña."

I'm just trying to have fun with this site.
