I get plenty of time to re-engage with the world I'm trying to depict, so I'm not always living in these parallel worlds.
I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn't really the popular girl in school and didn't have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek.
At one point in college I was so shy that I'd drop out of a class if asked to speak in front of other people.
