I am here for Friends

About Me

There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk. You sing
*Music = life.
Get away, run away, fly away
*I have a penchant for waking up in the morning and deciding that I am going to travel somewhere. It ranges from going across town to across the world. Life isn't worth living if it's not a constant adventure.
I think I'll take the long way home
*On a similar note, there is nothing better than driving way too fast with music way too loud way too late at night with the windows way too far down. I live for it.
My winter storm, holding me awake, it's never gone
*I have friends that I can call family and places I can call home scattered all around the world. If I am grateful for anything in life, and rest assured that I am, it is that.
I'm in love with somebody...
*I am in love with a Dutch boy. It would probably be best if we kept that between us, though. Cool?
Wicked partnership in this crime, ripping off the best condescending smile
*One day in September of 2003, Evanescence turned my fairly normal world upside down. I have been clinically insane ever since.
I'm saving the world and some money too
*Yes, I'm a vegetarian. Before you ask "do you eat *insert foodstuff here*?" ask yourself "did that foodstuff previously breathe?" If your answer is yes, then my answer is no.
Beauty is everything. Love is innocent.
*I also really really really like flowers.
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing. Lack of iron and/or sleeping
*My favorite possession is my silver blanket. I have determined that it is indeed a gift from the Heavens above and nothing will ever be able to take its place.
He said I'm crazy, I know he said I'm crazy, I know, what I can say is that the drugs don't work no more
*Some self-descriptors: loyal to a fault, narcissistic, garrulous, insomniac, anywhere from mildly to exceedingly obsessive, independent, sarcastic, stubborn...the list goes on.
While the city sleeps, we rule the streets
*I pass out stickers and hang up posters in exchange for concert tickets. If you would like to do the same, let me know. I'll hook you up.
*I'm an internet whore. Stalk me. AIM goddessofrodents.
"Sing"-The Dresden Dolls. Love them. Cherish them. They are the best fucking band out there.
Tarja Turunen. "I Walk Alone." Everything the last Nightwish album should've been, but wasn't.

My Interests

Music, concerts, sparkly objects, the words "fuck," "shit," and "whore." Traveling. The Red Sox. Halloween. Nashville's BNA International Airport. Starry nights. Orbit White chewing gum. Chocolate covered pretzels. Sitting outside of concerts for twelve hours to guarantee front row positioning. Driving way too far way too fast way too late at night with way too little sleep. How there are no cacti in Las Vegas. Flowers (especially Gerbera daisies). Butterflies. Cadbury Mini Eggs. Claude Monet. Unicorns. The color purple. And, of course, both Finland and The Netherlands.

Music:

There are times that the music I love and the people I love become inextricably linked.A list of current obsessions includes, but is not limited to, the following: Within Temptation. Halestorm. The Dresden Dolls. The lovely Ms. Amanda Palmer. In This Moment. Stolen Babies. Lacuna Coil. Shinedown. Bloodflowerz. Lily Allen. The Dixie Chicks. Leaves' Eyes. The goddess herself, Liv Kristine. LOURDS. Tapping the Vein. The Vincent Black Shadow. Taylor Swift. Serena Ryder. edibleRED. The day after.... The Birthday Massacre. Hole. Courtney Love. Nirvana.

Movies:

They put me to sleep.

Television:

I have an unhealthy addiction to CSI.

Law & Order fills in on the rare occasion that someone doesn't have a CSI marathon on.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Nicktoons are also fantastic.

Books:

I breathe literature. It's my escape and, thus, my sanity.

Feed me anything by Jacqueline Carey or Virginia Woolf and I'll love you forever.

Heroes:

*Emily White. Not only is she my music industry mentor, but she has impeccable taste in music.

I wish Jorja Fox was my best friend. Even if she is almost as old as my mom.

* Gravity Plays Favorites : Michelle and Katrina, the most incredible dancers on the face of the planet, and total sweethearts to boot. Check them out. Pronto.
