   SVB's beginnings were humble. Born and raised on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, she packed her bags and moved to the big city of Tampa, FL at 20 to begin college and the next phase of her life as a member of the 21st century. Although it took some time for her not to hit the ground every time the phone rang, she slowly but surely got the hang of technology. "It took me awhile to stop talking back to the television," said SVB. "But after I saw Julia Roberts die on TBS' premiere of Steel Magnolias and then saw her later on E! I realized that it wasn't real." Aside from discovering the phone and television, SVB has also discovered what she considers the best invention of all time--the internet. "I haven't slept since I moved to Tampa!" exclaimed the sleep-deprived, yet still extremely upbeat, SVB. "I mean, why sleep when you can see the weather in your hometown in real time! This is great!" Since moving, she has constantly been emailing her family back in Pennsylvania but wonders why they won't write back.
