If life hands you lemons, suck out all the juice

About Me


I like to laugh. I'm non-violent. I enjoy hugs and silly crazy things. i used to think you needed a plan, but now i think you just need to be real. there's more to me, but why write an essay about myself? i'm sure someone could write a better lullaby. if you're having trouble sleeping, just let me know.

my debut on college radio in spring 2005.
College radio was an awesome experience. Thanks to everyone who called in, IMed, guested, and listened in! Special thanks to Matt for creating the animation of me dancing back when the web cam worked and I didn't even have my own show yet. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp www.wmucradio.com
