Yeah, yeah, yeah and all that jazz about the chick pictured to the far left (um, me, genius):

Everytime I face rejection or life just doesn't pan out the way I want, it makes me more driven. So for all the people who said "no" in my life to things I'm working hard to achieve, thank you. Cause I work double overtime to prove you wrong... and most of the time, I'm successful at it.
I live with a Brit who doesn't drink as much tea as you'd think. And he doesn't talk like Austin Powers, either.
If it wasn't for my family, friends and tiny 5 lb. chihuahua, I'd be lost.
Music
Music
Music is what makes me who I am.
I'm a music journalist and photographer.
Emo... okay, years ago I considered myself this. But it seems as though this is a dead genre, mostly reliant on older bands from the late 90s and early 00s. But I still hold a special place in my heart for it.
Going to shows is what I do.
Shopping is my sport.
Wearing skinny jeans is what you'll find me in.
I have a weekness for all things retro.
Reality TV is what I mostly watch.
I collect teapots.
Getting free shit is always cool.
I dye my hair every two months... (This is actually true).
Laughing is part of my daily routine.
So is cursing.
I'm proud to have furnished my apartment with items from Ikea.
Not driving when possible is always a perk.
Midori Sours are my Ecto Cooler.
Hello Kitty: All hail.
I just joined a gym because reality has set in that I won't weight 100 lbs forever.
Cheese, sushi, Pepsi and Garden Burgers are staples in my diet.
Reading is not only fundamental... it's what I do.
I keep diaries, blogs.. all that jazz. Check out my inner secrets here
Words are my weapon of choice.
ATTENTION BANDS, MAGAZINES: Need a photographer for press photos? Interested in having me write for your publicaton? I'm for hire!

I know that when I write things like this, I will either a.) be jinxing what I'm praising or b.) well.... option A is the only likely one. But for once, I'm going to take a risk and say that me writin...
