About Angie Lynch
Angie Lynch was raised in the Bible Belt by un-hippie parents in a typical household, complete with 2.5 kids and a dog, all supported by a government worker dad and stay-at-home mom. She had no hope of ever being anything but a bleeding heart liberal. Angie enjoys documentaries about social and anthropological subject matters and weeps while watching the Twilight movies. Together with her un-political husband, she is raising her two young girls to be self-aware, open-hearted, and pretty, pretty princesses. Her personal blog is A Whole Lot of Nothing which is just that. You may also know her from her work on the internet as the Social Media Editor and contributor at Curvy Girl Guide, founder and editor of We Know Awesome, and Nightlife Editor at Uptake Blogs. If you like nonsense mixed with poignant Kool-Aid-drinking commentary, follow her on Twitter @alotofnothing and on her Facebook page.
