About Me

I'm a lazy bum and it shows. I picked my favorite bands by checking my iTunes and seeing who I had the most of. I don't define my life by what I listen to and it doesn't really bother me that I like the occasional trendy band or pop song (oh noz!). I like to lie around watching movies. I like all kinds of people because hate takes a lot of energy. ;)
Things I like: Waking up early, my five cats, plastic surgery shows, big afros/jewfros/Islamifros -- equal-opportunity shallowness here, chicken teriyaki, sushi, Thai, food in general, movies, French, Spanish, and shoes. And money, of course, but I'm female. It's kind of a given.
Things that make my blood boil: Ignorance, huge egos, and disrespectful people. That being said, I do loooove those taboo jokes that all teenagers seem to like... damn, I am a rebel. So I'm not really sure what I mean by disrespectful. I'll figure it out later, I guess.
I really like to learn about the world and its countless diverse cultures. Needless to say, I'm doing pretty poorly, haha. I'd love to talk to people from all over the world and become less of an idiot. Ignorance isn't always one's fault, but I just can't stand the people who say "I don't watch the news because it's too depressing." I know I'm sheltered and more fortunate than a lot of people on this planet, and it makes no sense to think that if I ignore their problems, they'll go away. Come on!
I'm kind of a hermit on MySpace (OK, I'm a hermit in real life too) but feel free to friend me or make fun of my emo photos. Hey, even I do it. You have to pass the time somehow, right?

500 Festival

I admit it... I went to the 500 Festival Parade today with my family. However, I have to say that it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. I'm pretty sure it only lasted an hour or an hour and ...
