Things you don’t know about her:
“My sister tested my IQ when she was getting her master’s degree in school psychology and I tested as a genius in half the categories and nearly cognitively impaired in the other half.”

“People who say ‘I eat to live. I don’t live to eat.’ I wish all ten plagues upon your house.”
“People who talk too loud in public. I have yelled at strangers. I will say ‘shhhhh’ and no one is exempt. I once shushed Vin Diesel.”
Things that make her happy:
