hello, i am court, and i am pretty much addictive.

so we are all going to post little bios about ourselves, and looks like i'm first =)
i wrote this on the bus ride from the office in NY back to my sleepy little town in Northern Jersey so i apologize for how lame and long it is.

Name: Courtney Erin M-C-M-anus
Most commonly goes by: Court, Courtface, Cuddah
Location: North Jersey (NY on Tuesdays and Fridays!)
How I got involved with ST: from Sarah posting about their need for interns on the interwebzzzz
Position at ST: graphic design intern/doing whatever Alex, Joanna, or Sarah need me to do
Favorite ST Band: it’s hard to choose, I genuinely love them all but my favorite are definitely The Horrors. I love how unique their sound is, and how they really don’t sound like anything else out there right now. Not to mention the fact that I love tall lanky men who dress in black and have killer hair.
Favorite musical artists: Every band on stolen transmission obviously, and I have a really weird and eclectic taste in music, some of my all time favorites include: incubus, no doubt, saves the day, Frank Sinatra, The Smiths, Morrissey, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, the beatles, the matches, art brut, Beirut, razorlight, Interpol, Cursive, Circa Survive, Brand New, and a TON TON TON MORE. To see what I currently can’t get enough of you can check out my lastFM http://www.last.fm/user/court_face/
Favorite Movies: Beauty & The Beast is my all time favorite movie, I also love all Disney princess movies. No, I am not too old for them yet and I never will be. Other fav movies of mine are: ALL Audrey Hepburn movies as well as all Alfred Hitchcock movies, American History X, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, The Outsiders, Factory Girl. Saved, Clueless, Mean Girls, Along Came a Spider
Favorite TV Shows: Friends, America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway, The Office, Ugly Betty, Prison Break, Seinfeld. Thank god for tivo or else would probably never get to watch any of these shows!
Favorite Books: My favorite book ever is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, she is an amazing author and poet and I am pretty much obsessed with her. I also love Charles Bukowski, Dennis Miller, and Charlotte Bronte. The last book I just finished was Teenage Hipster in a Modern World which is a collection of epic jounalist pieces from the 80’s, notably an amazing piece on Sid Viscous; it is a must read for any music or journalism fan.
Hobbies: singing, dancing like an idiot in the car, silk screening, sketching, being with my family and friends, going to shows, finding new music, killing the internet

Ok, now here are 10 random facts about me. (they really are random, I will just type them as I think of them)
1. I am double-jointed in all my fingers and toes. This scares most people but I think it’s cool so everyone who doesn’t can just SMD
2. I am a singer at heart. While I love persueing a career in graphic design, my true passion is singing. I sang before I could speak and when I was 5 years old I went around telling people I wanted to be Gwen Stefani when I grew up. I took 5 years of private voice lessons and was in tons of choirs all throughout school. However, I love it too much to try and make a career out if it, plus I am not good enough to have people actually buy a record, haha.
3. I am a freshman in college, majoring in Graphic Design. I love it so hard!!
4. I own more clothes than any human should but I only wear about a quarter of what is in my closet.
5. I am from NJ, and while I love NY and it is where my soul is, my heart will always belong to Jersey. We have Saves The Day, Lifetime, Bon Jovi, AND 24 hour diners, so we win basically. Come to NJ, I will take you to a Diner at 3am, I promise.
6. I’m a March baby as are Lisa and Kerry. OBVIOUSLY, March is an awesome month.
7. I have had a reoccurring nightmare since age 4 where I am trapped in the dungeon from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
8. I have a sister who is 6 years older than me, and I pretty much owe my taste in music to her. She introduced me to No Doubt at age 5 and Nirvana at age 10.
9. I have an un-healthy obsession with Audrey Hepburn, Alfred Hitchcock, Roy Lichtenstein, Sylvia Plath, the 1920’s, and pomegranite.
10. Oh last fact, I have to make it good but I am on the bus going back to jersey and my head does not want to think right now. But … um… last fact about me is that I almost died from an allergic reaction to a medication when I was 13. YIKES!

Well, that’s pretty much all you need to know. I love when people come to NJ and let me their tour-guide, so come to my dirty little state and I will show you around! I also love people who love art, so if you are interested in going to the Met we can do that too. Basically I just love 99% of the people I meet, as long as you are not close-minded, judgmental, mean, rude, or racist, I will be your friend. I am often told I am way too nice, but I take that as a compliment. Oh but you should all know I am a Yankees fanatic, so you’ll have to deal with it. That’s it I guess!

BYEEE

oh and with every post I will tell you an awesome song that I am currently loving
