My name is *Emily Sarah Brandt*, named after Emily Dickinson.

I am a sixth-year senior (?!) trying to get an undergraduate degree in forensic science at  John Jay College of Criminal Justice in









I wish: I wasn't so judgemental, I had better luck with guys, my friends lived closer, I was through with school, I didn't always procrastinate, I could afford the things I wanted, I could lose 10 pounds & I had better posture.

Manhattan.  I have also attended both NYU and Stevens Institute of Technology - I have problems making decisions. I am originally from the pit of hell called Bricktown, which can be found in glorious NJ. I now have a lovely apartment in Brooklyn and wouldn't move back to NJ if my life depended on it.

I am a Gemini,born June 5th, 1981. If you do the math correctly that would make me 23. As my sign indicates, I have a split personality.

Some things that make me happy are my kitties Milo & Jack, naps, being a vegetarian, classic cars, Strangers With Candy, The Simpsons, my mom, decorating, anything 50s, Netflix, my apartment, being sarcastic, my bike, Prospect Park, Ralph Wiggum quotes, talking to myself, spring time, tomatoes, Fuji apples, bargains, Puffs Plus, knowing my way around NYC, sipping coffee through stirring straws, sincere compliments, people that are nice for no reason, feeling in control, my good friends, my ratty old converse, shopping, doing karaoke to Elvis, dancing, and sleeping on the subway.

I really dislike pseudo-intellectuals, slow drivers, the president, pointless wars, feeling helpless when it comes to the government, being a college senior for three years, when my cats play with their own feces...ew, the religious zealots that preach on the subway, people who curse loud in public, pretentious people, most hipsters, the cocaine trend, slow walkers, spicy foods, beef, daytime TV, NYC tourists, bratty kids & going back home.

 

Some of my favorite movies include Amélie, Run Lola Run, My Fair Lady, Dead Alive, Re-Animator, Heavenly Creatures, Psycho, David Cronenberg movies, Return of  the Living Dead, Kill Bill, Night of the Hunter, Singin' in the Rain, Romie and Michelle's High School Reunion, etc.

Some people I like (but don't actually know) are Audrey Hepburn, Bjork, Morrissey, Guy Pearce, Scott Thompson and Amy Sedaris.

This website is widely the result of a summer engineering internship about 4 years ago where I had absolutely nothing to do.
