Miss PROclivity aka the American Dream

Loose lips sink ships!

About Me

I'm Sarah, and I rock the hizzle! :P I am also known in some circles as the lovely Miss Proclivity. That is my DJ name.
I want to know every facet of music, from performance to theory to where the little electrons like to go through the wires of the most cutting edge pro audio gear. My dream job is to design mixers. As I am completely obsessed with mixing and scratching I cannot think of a better way to make a living than that. Can you?
I have two great goals in this life. One is to design and mass produce my own signiture mixer, and the other is to one day perform on the legendary Valve sound system. I know I will accomplish both of these goals because when I want something, I do whatever it takes to get it and don't stop until I succeed. I guess that's called the "killer instinct." I swear I will take over this whole world by 30. So come along for the ride, or get the F*** out of my way!
kthxbye :)


The college life!

    I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life; I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well. -Theodore Roosevelt

And when your deepest thoughts are broken, keep on dreamin' boy cuz when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.

What European City Do You Belong In?
You Belong in London
You belong in London, but you belong in many cities... Hong Kong, San Francisco, Sidney. You fit in almost anywhere.
And London is diverse and international enough to satisfy many of your tastes. From curry to Shakespeare, London (almost) has it all!


My soul is filled up with bass. My heart beats like a drum!

My Interests

The spirit of adventure! I need to chase and conquer. I'm all about experiences and travel - I would love to go EVERYWHERE but I much prefer chilling in raw and sophisticated city streets to the beach any day... Nothing makes me feel more powerful than taking control behind the decks and sharing the depths of my soul with a crowd through my music. I love to close my eyes, grit my teeth, and shake my head back and forth as I feel the music everywhere within and all around me. There's nothing like being in love with life.

I'd like to meet:

Those rare people that are the same special mix of artist and intellectual that I am, those who inspire me, and friends from the past...

My favorite movie is Forrest Gump. A lot of people think thats lame because its about a retard and all, but it's a great, touching story and the soundtrack and cinematography are top notch.
