About Me

here's a pretty basic rendition of myself in 500 words or less:
my name's lydia, and i'm a girl from edmonton, alberta, canada.
my life more or less revolves around the following: my family, my friends, music, and food. i'm the type of person who gets bored pretty quickly, so it's imperative that i keep myself as busy as humanly possible with those four things. however, when i do feel the need to chill out [which is hella rare], i like to sleep, eat junk-ish food, read cookbooks/magazines, play music, and watch tv.
house music and hiphop are an integral part of my cd collection as well as my life, so it's probably not much of a surprise to know that, as a dj, i play house and incorporate hiphop and mashup as much as i can into my sets. my musical tastes aren't limited strictly to these two genres, though. i'm usually game for a large variety of different types of music, so long as it doesn't make me want to cry and slit my wrists with painful thoughts of suicide or anything like that.
i'm also a bit of a stubborn person, which is why it took me a life age to sign up for a myspace account. but now i have one, and i've had one for a while, and to be completely honest, i'm pretty down!
that's basically me. any further questions may or may not be answered. THANKS - MANAGEMENT.
