I am a big fan of biographies and introductions. It's often funny to write your own bio, but it's even funnier when someone else can write it. As I mentioned before, OMFG is penned by three of us - two girls and one boy. I have the pleasure of introducing J, our token male.
J and I met in college, but I can't really pinpoint when exactly in college our paths crossed for the first time. We were both east coast transplants, stranded in a big, bad city in the middle of the country. More specifically, we were two Floridians in the frozen tundra of the upper Midwest. Like all of our fellow alumni, J studied a particularly useless subject at our very self-important liberal arts college within a major research university. He spent years toiling away in the undergraduate manifestation of our "Great Books" curriculum. Naturally, he graduated (much like L and myself) with no obvious marketable or job-specific skills. After a few years at a heavy-hitting fine arts institution in our fine city, J returned to the quads of our youth to become a part of the team that determines who will next follow in our footsteps at our darling school (translation: he worked at a museum and then left to work in college admissions at our Alma Mater). When he's down on his job, J considers moving back east with me to serve as my house-frau and/or companion for my tiny puffle ball purebred feline.
On the side, J likes blogging (obvi!!), reading about Great Americans (think biographies of former Presidents), and obsessing about the upcoming election (well, this is a perennial favorite for all of us). He also serves as our performing/creative arts and hipster mole, coming into more contact with these things than either me or L.
To the blog, J brings his semi-male perspective, his endearing closet geekiness (yeah, he gets this tag because of Battlestar Galactica), and a great knowledge of random history and politics. We are lucky to call him our little J!
xoxo,
KK
