It's hard to face the problem, when the problem is your face.

About Me

People say I'm hardcore and they're right. I'm totally serious, except when I'm fucking around. I love to do nothing, but I'm a bit of a workaholic. I write for Carbon 14, Philadelphia City Paper (citypaper.net), and AroundPhilly.com. I love my dog, and apologize in advance if he goes for your nuts. I'm a hostess with the mostest. Usually I'm two steps ahead of what's going on.

My Interests

Rocking out, Partying down, Dranking, Reading, Writing, Rasslin', Staying up late, Thrift shopping, Cooking, Eating, Beating you at Scrabble, Enjoying all the best that life has to offer and hating on the haters.

I'd like to meet:

Turbojugend, sweethearts and hardheadeds, party police. No jerks. People that want to be good to me, animals that want to lick my face. Hot side hot, cold side cold.

Music:

Any movie that looks like beautiful still photography. I'm especially fond of Polanski and Kubrick, and Adrian Lyne is coming up as third favorite director.
