Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable?

About Me

If I don't know you, don't try to add me to your friends, I'll just delete you. I think I feel settled here in Chicago. I like roadtrips with lots of music. I am not a fan of the Buckeyes. I like to meet new people. I have three monthly magazine subscriptions. I drink a lot of coffee. I take pictures, photographic pictures. I like bands begining with The. My friends and family mean the world to me. I wish I could take a two month vacation, I would travel again. I work a lot. I really wanted a dog, but got cats instead. I have friends and family all over the US, this makes for cheap vacations. I went to german camp with Chelsea Clinton, yeah, I'm a super geek. I watch a lot of TV, but don't have cable. I am a mac user. I am left handed. I played piano, clarinet and the guitar, but never learned how to read music. I like things to be in order. I love to drive, but sometimes go a week without. I have hot legs. I drink a lot of coffee, I said it twice. I miss Minneapolis, it's one of the best places on earth. I like to eat popsicles in the shower. There is a place for everything, and everything has it's place. I just bought a condo in Lakeview, therefore I don't have money. If you would like to take me out to a show and buy me drinks and not expect anything in return, message me.

Heroes:

My mom and dad. My parents are amazing people on their own and together. They met in a bowling alley, got married 9 months later, had two beautiful children, and lived happily ever after. They worked together, lived together, laughed together and have been happy for thirty years. When I think of success and happiness I think of Carolyn and David. Someday I hope to have what they have. Right now I'm happy just to be able to pay my rent and feed myself; let alone love, success, and retirement.

I used a facial mask tonight. It's one I recently bought after reading about it in some beauty/fashion magazine. I have used it only twice before, and have not, as of yet, seen earth shattering resu...

Tis.. the season to reminisce about the times past. I miss Minnesota, desperately at times. Being in Chicago is a close second. A couple years ago I spent Christmas with my parents in Arizona. We ...

I am exhausted. It has been a long week at work. On top of that I am wicked broke. But that's the single life. I was off today; I slept until noon and woke up to the sun blazing in on me and blue ...

There were two men out

As I sit on my sofa on my computer tonight, I glance to the right and see a brightness I haven't seen all winter. It's a night game! I can see the lights of Wrigley Field and the back of the scorebo...

The new and improved!!!!

I hate how in every single TV commercial the character portrayed is married. From mayo to insurance I see a simple gold band on the ring finger of their left hand. Does anyone else notice this? I f...

Freakonomics - This is a wicked cool book. A quick read and a head scratcher. The two Stevens are a journalist and an economist exploring the hidden side of everything. They touch on such topics as wh...
