Okay, a little bit more:

I prefer my name pronounced ANN-dree-a, but I’ve learned to answer to anything that begins and ends with an A. For the most part, I’m a glass-half-full kind of person, until I accidentally knock the glass over. That sometimes happens- this blog is called Andrea Disaster for a reason, and that reason is my klutziness. Additional inspiration came in the form of Ben Kweller’s song Ann Disaster, except I added a -drea.

I have no interest in those Twilight boys, but I’d completely geek out over meeting Ira Glass or Alex Trebek. I’d add David Sedaris to that, but I met him before and kept my cool (He also gave me a little bag of chocolates). Oh, and I want to meet Steve Marting and his banjo! I have a weakness for banjo players, particularly bearded ones, but I make an exception for Mr. Martin. He’s earned it.

My laughter and sneezes are so loud that they echo throughout my office- thankfully I have yet to do both at the same time. My biggest little fears are mannequins, escalators, and eating something gross and then dying from an unknown allergy two seconds later. I don’t let it stop me from trying new things though; if anything, the fear makes life more exciting.

And yes, I really do write obituaries for a living.
