I'd rob your house, but all you have is cheap beer and plastic jewelry.

About Me

Well, if I had a stage name for being a fire dancer alone, it'd be "Fury". It seems like everyone else likes to call themselves Pele, or Pyro, or something along those lines. Fury seemed like something that you wouldn't normally associate with fire...maybe you would, maybe you wouldn't. I dunno! It seemed like a cool nickname for myself when I was going through the dictionary!

You may not notice me in a crowd unless you see my tattoo on my leg or back , but you'll probably see me doing the hula somewhere or focusing on form while playing the Japanese drums. Check out my calendar to see our public performances!
Not too sure where to go with all this. But feel free to drop a line if you want to talk about anything. Wings and beer are my preferred drug!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone, basically. I have no preference when it comes to friendships.
Ok, I'm revamping this section. While it's cool that you stumbled across my page and all, I'm not going to add random friend requests unless I know you outside MySpace. If you want to add me, shoot me a message first. Have some sort of conversation with me (more than 'Hey, check out our band'...something that shows me that we have something in common or I can answer some question you have), otherwise don't be surprised if I decline your random friend request. Surprise, surprise! I actually want to know the people in my list, not just be another number like some one-nighter.
