stop dreaming, start something

About Me


*My real blog is over at the Planet Verge Girls blogspot...
* Planet Verge's official site...
* Audio Crush PR has the best bands...
* My videos on You Tube...
"I think you always have to do what you set out in life to do, regardless of how successful you are at it. You are successful when you're doing what you want to do. You're not successful if you give up and do something you don't want to do. It's not about how much you make, as much as it is that you actually went for it." -BUTCH WALKER TO PLANET VERGE.
Best advice ever.
I'm glad I never became a teacher. That was the plan, at one point when I was younger. But then I discovered music, and myself. I'm obsessive with everything I'm passionate about. Back in the day it was British and Irish boy bands, then it was to start a publishing revolution of sorts. And we did it. We made our mark and even though we've moved on a bit, I know we changed people's lives (I still have the fan mail to prove it). And changed our own. I've met some amazing people along the way. Somewhere between now and then I became a workaholic and every time I say I'm gonna chill out a bit, I take on something new. I guess you can say I love being busy. But really, I love making a difference. That and being at home in bed, watching TV more than anything. I want to learn to cook better. And rescue a dog from a shelter. I want to have a farm full of dogs, but not actually live on a farm. Maybe I'll learn to walk in heels one day. In my spare time I like to--- oh wait. I have no spare time.
* To quote 311, music's what I need to keep my sanity. I run two companies: Planet Verge and Audio Crush PR.

My Interests

I fell in love with my hair stylist

need coffee everyday

hula hoop every day for a half hour nonstop while watching Wedding TV,

prefer reading magazines at Barnes and Noble's and walking the dogs over social gatherings,

hate public transportation to NYC and going into the city pretty much in general unless its to Union Square in the summer and I can get some roasted Coconuts,

have carpel tunnel and shouldn't be typing unneccearily,

cook pretty much only on the George Forman Grill,

shun the sun,

have OCD pretty bad, esp. w/applying lotion, so you know i have super soft skin

have been straight-edge my whole life,

go to bed early

hate talking on the phone,

document everything in my life ever since I learned how to use cameras,

have chronic fatigue,

thrive on keeping busy,

would have been a pin-up girl if I was in my 20s decades ago,

drink my water with limes,

get a new tattoo every year on my birthday,

am allergic to fruits and vegetables and soy,

love mexican and chinese food,

prefer to go barefoot,

hate other people's feet,

adopt tigers,

have little memory of my childhood

go to Red Lobster way too much,

test the Key Lime Pie everywhere I go,

I'd like to meet:

A tiger-again. Tina Fey because she subconsciously writes her characters to resemble me.

Audio Crush runs the Val Emmich Street Team. We love him and you will, too:

Music:

Butch Walker is a musical genius. I will never miss a Lostprophets show. Unwritten Law rescued me from being a ghetto girl. Everyone should own "Clumsy" by Our Lady Peace. Silverchair is the most underrated band on Earth. I love to photograph 18 Visions. 311 lyrics shaped my life. Sugarcult write some of the best Pop songs ever. I was once obsessed with Bon Jovi and Noelle and I were found out by the crew of Last Call with Carson Daly -who had us on to talk about it and meet him. The music of Jeremiah Freed really touched me and I’ll never stop listening to it. I used to hate female singers, but Aimee Allen & Sohodolls changed that. Listening to one particular Val Emmich song live once brought tears to my eyes. I’m not ashamed to say I still listen to the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block. I’m pretty bored with the rest of the bands out there today.

Movies:

..

Television:

I need General Hospital daily & don't accept phone calls while it's on. Coupling is my favorite comedy. And My-So Called Life...I signed petitions back in the day to save that show and now watch DVD marathons.
Which My So-Called Life Character Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty

Books:

I like music magazines better than books and British music magazines are a million times better than American ones.

Heroes:

Did you know Tigers are going extinct?!There are only 5,000 left in the wild. That means this stunning creature is at risk for vanishing from earth WITHIN OUR LIFETIME.

And it's OUR FAULT.

People continue to kill tigers.

People continue to destroy, fragment and degrade existing and potential tiger habitats and overkill the tigers prey.
