I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i'm a unique individual... a little rockstar/a little nerd/a little girlie-girl/a little scrub. i may just be a hipster in disguise.. but chances are, i'm just a lonely emo girl. i'm an herbivore and i like vegetables. i like just about everything about rain: the smell, the way it sounds, the way it cleans the streets up, the life it brings, walking in it when it's not too cold out, the way it makes me feel depressed in a happy way.... my favorite season is spring. my favorite activity is going to concerts. i will own a concert venue one day. my favorite color is navy blue but i wear a lot of pink. i have balance issues and i am quite clutzy. i can be very indecisive. i am a middle child. i have a tattoo. i take advice from fortune cookies. (see my headline) i like adventures. i think i might be addicted to myspace. sometimes i miss san francisco.

My Interests

concerts!, MUSIC, band pins, cherries, cherry blossoms, vegetables, public transportation, vehicles starting with the letter v: volkswagens, vespas, and volvos, singing/dancing in the shower, yummies from quickly, fishnets/tights, sushi, thrift stores, tulips, anime (not the porn or super violent kind but the cute kind like sailor moon), sanrio, san-x, coffee, different colored cons, reading books on the train, scarves

I'd like to meet:

anyone who shares my love of music. not just love but complete infatuation and admiration..... someone who likes to go on adventures and who doesn't mind getting lost with me.

Music:

i dig music! i like all kinds of music... i hate listing my favorite bands or whatever. because 1. there are too many to list and i would no doubt forget some. 2. i am always discovering new bands and i would have to constantly update. 3. i have this fear that pretentious music snobs will read my list and scoff at me... because.. well, that's what i do. not that i am a pretentious music snob, but you know...

Movies:

my neighbor totoro, amelie, spirited away, swingers, go, virgin suicides, playing by heart, muppets, lord of the rings, harry potter, kill bill vol. 1 & 2, fahrenheit 9/11, donnie darko, the goonies,.... and oh so many more

Television:

adult swim, simpsons, gilmore girls, sex and the city, the daily show, wonderfalls (kudos to you if you know that show), mtv (basically it's one big reality tv show at this point and for some reason i always find myself watching it), at some point i got addicted to csi and law & order now i watch them all the time cause they are on all the time

Books:

the stranger, good faeries/bad faeries, harry potter, the mists of avalon, the monkey wrench gang, anything by david sedaris, sex drugs and cocoa puffs
