..Sonicly Speaking.....

About Me

Little rock chick with a big heart. I'm a sagittarius. We are generous to a fault and have this habit of getting angry for our friends when we feel that they are not sufficiently mad enough ("He did what to you?!!! I'm gonna kick him so hard, he's gonna have to sit on the toilet for two days to find his chain wallet!!!!").
I play bass in Hallowed Engine . I believe that there is still hope to unify a viable music scene here in Los Angeles. I'd rather book my own shows than leave it up to a clueless promoter. If anyone out there agrees with me, let's stick together and shake some action!
I make pendants and t-shirts. Check out some of my cool stuff. View my Items on iOffer
I love animals (sometimes more than people). I volunteer at the Glendale Humane Society a no-kill shelter.
I'm a graphic designer - always looking for freelance projects - especially of the musical nature.
For a girl of small stature, I have a big, loud (kinda raspy) voice - which comes in handy in large crowds and poorly monitered stage situations.

I'd like to meet:

If we share the same interests in art and music, I would love to meet you. Basically I'm interested in associating with genuine, cool folks who don't take themselves too seriously.I'm married to the love of my life. I'm not here to date.Why I might deny your friendship: I don't care how much you think you rock: If your band is named after yourself (unless it's the Patti Smith Group), then your ego is way too big for my page. If you're under 21 - sorry I don't really care for children. If your band is emo, indie, hardcore, rap or hip-hop. If your front page shows all your friends are strippers.
