Maureen says "Goodbye Blues!"

...The whitest person you will ever meet.

About Me

Well, right now I'm living in Philadelphia, right in center city. I'm in college at The University of the Arts, aka UARTS. I'm studying to be a writer of film and television, but I am working on books as well.I love music. It inspires me in many ways. It helps me write and express human emotion. Many songs are respondsible for most of my storylines. I don't know what I'd do without it. I highly recommend the bands in my "FAV MUSIC" section. There obviously good because I like them...I danced for 15 years, tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, pointe, etc. I love it. I really miss it. I would love to learn partner dancing. Maybe this summer... I play the drums. I'm not in a band or anything, I just play for my own amusement.I'm pretty shy at first, but once you get to know me I think I'm a lot of fun. I like to keep people guessing.I'm not really the "party" type. I don't think you have to be wasted to have fun, and if you do, I'm sorry. That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.If you are interested in reading some of my work, I write stories about the band, Lifehouse, on LHF forum. All my stories are up on: www.roomofplasticflowers.org
