Profile Information

Where do you live:: Now live from New York.

About Me:: di·gress [di-gres, dahy] To wander from a direct or straight course.

Yeah. That’s a good start.

Two years ago, I broke my immigrant parents’ hearts by deferring my acceptances into several prestigious law schools a week before my college graduation. To them, law school was one stop on the upward incline of becoming The Reason They Moved To This Country And Sacrificed So Much And Wouldn't It Be Better If It Were Medical School But We Suppose Law School Will Have To Do. To me, law school was where my soul would go to choke and die for good.

So I ignored all nagging feelings of guilt and found ungainful employment in my city de jour post-college, Chicago, where I ended up kind of by accident, which is my preferred method of making most of life’s important decisions.

I like to listen to Amy Winehouse, French rap or Ben Folds Five’s “Whatever and Ever Amen” while I write. The voices of a British Jew with a terrifyingly mind-jarring love for hard drugs and big hair; the French with their hella sexy but ironic edge (because it is French rap after all); and a nerdy suburban kid with deep-harboring issues that play out creatively comprise almost all of my multiple personalities.

UPDATED: Now in New York, with a semi-impressive job title, adult braces, and a bedroom with no window which I realized only after I signed the lease.

Website:: http://www.damselindigress.wordpress.com

Age:: 27

How long have you been blogging:: 4 years as Damsel in Digress (had one over at Blogger but moved to Wordpress in August 2007)

Posted on November 1, 2007 at www.damselindigress.wordpress.com:

Once upon a year ago today, I woke up half-naked and hungover in a bed that wasn’t my own, struggling - I mean, really struggling - to decide if putting the fishnet stockings from the previous night’s costume back on would help or hurt the military short shorts and knee high black boots I’d have to wear past Henry…
