I was born October 11th 1980 in Elizabeth, NJ. I have a twin sister named Genevieve or Geni. We are not identical, but people often think we are because we look alike. Although, if I hit her I do feel it, because she will most definitly hit me back! I also have a little brother named Matthew, but I like to call him "boy". My parents are James and Ursula Brown, and from my Dad's side I'm Irish and some German, from my mom's Polish. Therefore I like my beer (Guinness!), but for some reason (of which my friends know the truth) I hate Vodka! I spent the first 10 years of my life in Colonia, NJ. Then we moved to North Carolina for 10 months. It was in North Carolina that I really got into Horseback Riding, of which, I have sadly fallen out of. Yet another thing I have to take up again when I actually have time. After that we moved back up north to Warwick, New York where we've been ever since. I entered Trinity college in 1998 and I graduated with a BA as a history major and art history minor. In 2002-2003 I attended the University of Manchester, UK and obtained a MA in Ancient World Studies. I then went home for a year, worked and applied to grad schools. I was accepted into the University of Reading, which is where I am right now and if all goes well i'll be here for 4 years! I'm doing a taught MA in classics this year, then a 3 year PhD. My thing is Roman-Jewish Relations in the Second Temple Period. My hobbies include photography (very amature), coin collecting, collecting Hard Rock Cafe guitar logo pins, and reading. I love to read, but I have a pile about a mile high of books I won't have time to read until I retire! Another hobby of sorts is traveling, I love to travel. I have been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, Athens, Republic of Moldova, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and a bunch of US states. My favorite color is blue. I love lilacs, mountains, Fall, Halloween, cats, horses, and dolphins. I love to read sci fi/fantasy novels; like Anne Bishop's and James Clemens' works, and I adore Harry Potter. I also like Barbara Michaels, but not as much as I used to. I like all kinds of music: classical, new age, techno, anything with a beat really. I'm also a closet Metal head ;) I really love Lorena McKennit. My favorite foods are Indian, Chinese, Italian, well I like many kinds of foods. My favorite Ice Cream is Haagen-Daaz Strawberry and their Cherry Vanilla, I also like Ben and Jerry's Kaberry Kaboom. Like I said before I love Guinness, only from the tap! I have two cat's Fang and Majestic, one dog named Pixie and a Horse named Chester. Fang is my baby and definitly lives up to his name. So browse the pictures one this site and you'll meet my family, friends, and pets. |
