She was worth a stare. She was trouble.. --Humphrey Bogart

About Me

I'm really just a girl, trapped in the wrong era. I smoke too much. I cannot live without coffee. I especially love Mocha Lattes and cappuccinos. I am always listening to music. I have very eclectic tastes. I enjoy being a part of the Mail Art network. I have an odd love for hotels and airports. I am deathly afraid of clowns. I wear flip flops in the winter. I adore my Converses. I will live in Seattle, WA someday. I want to travel the world and own my own coffee shop. I think Diet Pepsi is the best thing to have ever happened to the pop industry. Everyone should rent the movie Disinformation TV. And know that if God drank beer he would definitely drink Guinness.
