About Me

You Will Believe...

Jonathan Ruggiero's Facebook profile

Hello. My name is Jonathan, and I only use this MySpace profile just as an alternate form of communication with the friends I talk to, and to promote the show I'm in, which is The Rocky Horror Picture Show with the cast of Frankie's Favorite Obsession (I'm the Criminologist). I'm a devout Buddhist, and I attend the College of Southern Nevada majoring in Film and Theatre.

If you want to get in touch with me, message me for my Instant messenger screen names. And if you want to add me, feel free, but I will be the judge as to whether I accept or not. Sorry if I sound cold, it's just I've grown disgusted with the way MySpace works nowadays.
