Amy's Bio

I usually explain my near savant like knowledge of football and love for the game like this: I have brothers. And I went to USC. That shuts about 50% of inquisitors up. heh.

So yeah, About Me. I figured it was time I put something on this page for my readers and (hopefully there are no) stalkers. (Cause that stalking isht? Is Not Funny. I know. I was stalked last year. Grrrrr. He was not a sports fan, for the record.)

But I digress. Hi! I’m Amy, and I am Your Gridiron Goddess. I am a West Coast based writer and fanatical USC Trojan fan. I was born in Chicago, so claim as my birthright my love for Da Bears, The Cubbies, Da Bulls and even the White Sox. My family moved to Las Vegas when I was in 6th grade and they all still pretty much reside in Nevada. I moved to Los Angeles in 1987 to go to the University of Southern California where I majored in changing my major, staying in school forever, and being the best damn Delta Gamma ever. ha ha. In all seriousness, I majored in Creative Writing and Art. Minored in French and Critical Studies. And technically, technically, have about 5 classes left that I need to take to officially graduate, despite having amassed more than 120 units. So I need to finish school. Which I will. Someday. No rush. I did mention one of my majors was figuring out how to stay at SC forever, right? HEH. Well I think I figured it out. Double major, double minor over 5 years, have an A- GPA, leave school with roughly a semester’s worth of course load left and don’t take those classes and officially graduate until you are 60.

It’s a good plan. I think I’ll stick with it.

For being such an avid football fan–well, sports fan, but specifically football as the anointed favorite –in college and my 20s I dated a lot of guys who were not so much on board with the whole loving of the sports thing. And yeah I thought it was weird too. For the record, those boys–they did not have brothers. Or fathers present in their lives. They had divorced moms and sisters. Maybe this explains it, I don’t know. Although I am pretty sure if I ever have kids, single, divorced or happily coupled–my kids will all be huge football and sports fans and not so much with the soap operas and Miss America pageants.
