About Me


Party girl with a brain.
I'm an Ethnic/Asian Studies major & part Japanese.
Animals & activism are my life, but I never let myself fall into a stereotype.
One of my biggest phobias is being trapped in a conversation with a religious/conservative nut, or someone with terrible taste in music.
I know how to make fun of myself & do it constantly, and I can't tolerate people who put themselves on a pedestal.
I prefer Jim Beam above all other liquor.
My standards for friendship are high, so I blow people off regularly.
I'm a major girlie-girl but my sense of humor & train of thought normally aligns me more with men.
I have a strange obsession with maps & study them for hours.
I'm a total nerd for Old Hollywood & anything far from modern.

My Interests


Metal, vintage gowns, kitties, booze, road trips, horror movies, Old Hollywood cinema, the ocean, fetish wear, outrageous makeup, drag queens, men built like brick walls, absurd banter

I'd like to meet:

Different Channel, Same Amount of Aspirin

Mirror, mirror on the wall...whos the "unsexiest" of them all?

Not sure how many of you read Maxim, but for those of you who don't, basically it's a men's magazine that caters to pussies who don't have the balls to buy Playboy. It's also the magazine of choice fo...

Things I Must Accomplish Before Death

I have always hoped that I would go out in a really awesome way, like spontaneous combustion or getting run over by an ambulance when I'm running across the street to catch a receipt that flew out of ...

Bush Whacker

I can comprehend the fact that there will always be a thick, controversial line separating liberals & conservatives. I cannot, however, comprehend anyone supporting the current presidency. It's ha...
