I am here for Friends

About Me


hello, my name is stephanie t. and i am the lover of cupcakes and mixtapes. i also dabble in all sorts of other good stuff.
everything i say has a touch of sarcasm and if you know me, this is no newsflash.
most of my time is taken up with family and friends, hanging out, a bit of shopping, work, reading {the same books over and over again}, drawing random pictures, quoting random movies, .. gallavanting and the like...
i like:
strawberry smoothies
collecting pink scarves
mason jars
hoodies
black and white photos
cupcakes
the color green
cute drinking glasses
early afternoon naps
catching people singing and dancing in their cars
i dislike:
people who are socially inept
mean ladies who work at hallmark
beets
tripping in public
standing in line in a restaurant during lunch/rush hour and not knowing the lingo and how to order. *PRESSURE*
people who post too many annoying bulletins on myspace
what i do:
daydream about nonsense and listen to music...
albums on rotation this week:
sharon jones & the dap kings / 100 days 100 nights / andrew bird / armchair apocrypha / carole king / tapestry / devandra banhart / smokey rolls down thunder canyon / girl talk / night ripper / various artists / the darjeeling limited / beirut / the flying club cup / devotchka / una volta / lupe fiasco / food and liquor
favorite part in a movie:
"he's understood. he's going to put down his spoon, dip his finger in the sugar...turn around slowly and speak to me."
*le sigh*
then "sploosh"
favorite product:
i prefer blistex cucumber melon, but strawberry banana isn't half bad. limited edition "orange cream" tastes like acid reflux though. dr. pepper lipsmackers do quite well. as for lipgloss, it's cargo all the way.
favorite carnival ride:
favorite swings episode: sunset at the fairfax fair and the scary carnies were playing marvin gaye's "let's get it on". and then after that, i heard "sweet child o' mine". haha oh perfection.
and then...
