I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm in a band called velcro stars. i'm married to shane (5 years on june 21st). i have two dogs, emma and indie. i like dr. pepper, mountain dew, pickles, napping, reading, learning, analyzing things, kissing, hugging, playing music, singing, writing, smelling clean laundry (not folding it), being clean, sitting on my front porch, driving an air conditioned car, enjoying the occasional good cry, being nostalgic/dredging up the past, watching movies, looking up things on the internet, fixing things, breaking things, picking things, popping things, peeling things. i love my nieces and nephews, sisters, and mom & dad, even when they make me insane. i love my friends. i like to do things i did when i was little, like skip. i still feel sometimes 5 and sometimes 18, even though I am really 29. i am very sarcastic. i mostly do it to make people laugh but lots of people don't get it. i guess that translates to insecure bitch; i don't know. i really don't mean it. i transfer my pain to others in lots of negative ways. again, not intentional. but when looking at the karma budget, you may find it noteworthy that i have taught and substituted for high school and middle school kids. that makes it all a little better.

My Interests

Playing music, reading, writing, eating, sleeping, breathing, sitting on my richly endowed booty
