English majors rule. Give it time, you'll start changing the world (or at least doing something you like) any day now. You laid the foundation for....anything.
I, myself, 'change the world' through energy policy work, which sounds dry but I think kicks ass. Not as cool as being a novelist or a journalist, but I write a lot and like the community I work within.
I was born in Jersey, but really grew up in Florida (my formative years in Clearwater, alas). I'm fine with FL, but have always been northeast-inclined. I left for college up north and never looked back. Turns out, though, that I'm really a D.C. girl! I've been here almost 14 years, *after* college (I'm 36 now -- but I prefer to say "mid-30s"). So, I started my 9:30 Club routine in 1990, at the old smelly Club!
I was a radio dj four years in school, but of course that's not a hard gig to get, but it got me used to listening and sampling lots of music. I've always been a power pop/guitar indie rock kinda girl, with early leanings into brit alternative classics.
I love DC, especially the music scene as nearly *everybody* comes through. Yeah, the indie audiences could lighten up a bit and show some more enthusiasm, but I don't let it get me down.
Single and should be looking, plan to always live in the city, drive around in a RED car, and am pretty damn loud and raucus in 'live' settings.
You're next.
