About Me



name Julie-pan..... Shirt j perse.... Bottoms worn and ripped jeans.... Shoes something bright and colorful, lately lots of yellow.... Point of fashion who cares? *gasp* Be yourself and not a fashion drone .... Current obsession to not obsess..............................Love my family, my friends, and dare I say, sometimes my job... wish my best friends didn't live so far away and salt and vinegar chips were calorie free. I want a washer and dryer so bad, I cry every time I go to Lucy's. I am lucky to know so many amazing and creative people (my friends inspire me everyday)... I want to function on 4 hours of sleep instead of 9. My dream ebay win would be a full size carnival Whack-A-Mole station. If anyone knows of one, give me a holler.Burnt buns unite!!!!!!

My Interests

Whack-a-mole, whack-a-mole, whack-a-mole!!!!! Where can I find one of these damn machines? Does Chuck-e-cheese have them? Do those scary neighborhood carnivals have them?

I'd like to meet:

Genuine people, dog lovers, independent guys and gals, people who tell good jokes and stories, optimists and romantics, realists and women that kick ass...And of course, fellow burnt buns and burnt bun enthusiasts...
