Chrissie Brewer '09

The Basics
Hometown: Darien , CT
Major: Psychology
Outrageous Talents: I can sing really really low and I’m also really flexible
Obsessions: Obviously I'm a little obsessed with music, laughing, hanging out with the Chords, smooching (you know you love it too), and watching movies with a fire, and just trying to have a good time and enjoy life
Pet Peeves:I cannot STAND it when people say “excetera” when it’s “et cetera.” I also really hate it when people are inconsiderate, people who don't use their blinkers, and blasting the bass on a stereo
Favorites
Food:Confetti anythiiing (cake, frosting…), Butterfingers, Reeses Cups, Twizzlers, M&M's, Runts (specifically—the chewy banana ones), Fro Yo, blah blah blah. I’m also an on-again off-again vegetarian…Sometimes a girl just needs a burger
Music:The Beatles, Cake, Christina Aguilera, Coldplay, The ConnChords, The Co Co Beaux, Dave Matthews/The Dave Matthews Band, anything Disney, The Shins, The Foo Fighters, Incubus, Imogen Heap, Holly Brook, Mandy Moore, Billy Joel, Justin Timberlake, Lime Street Morning, Michael Buble, MC Solaar, The Eagles, Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Kelly Clarkson, Lifehouse, Rufus Wainwright, Sarah McLachlan, Van Morrison, Outkast, and the soundtracks to Rent, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Vanilla Sky, The Bodyguard, and A Muppet Christmas Carol :-D!
Books:A Separate Peace, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Great Gatsby, Brave New World, Huck Finn, anything Emerson, and Uncle Tom's Cabin because my great-great-great-great-great-greeeeat grandmother wrote it;-)
ConnChord Memory:One of my favs was when we were auditioning for a song, and I think the vote literally took about an hour. So, all the girls who had auditioned sat in the basement of the chapel and talked about classically ConnChord, girly, dirty things, bonding over our ridiculousness. That night is one of my first memories with the Chords, and I can't remember a specific joke or phrase that was so funny. But, I just remember rolling on the floor from laughing so hard
Song to sing with the Chords: Karma

Solo(s): Hallelujah and Rock With You
