Favorite Quote:"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." Jack Kerouac

Interesting Fact about you: As a volunteer, I marched in NYC Pride 2010 and lucked into walking the route with Senator Schumer. Because of traffic light delays, I had the awkward job of asking Senator Schumer's staff if he could walk a little faster to close the gap.
