About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / The city life

Time has never been on my side- in fact, we are bitter enemies. fave color is every shade of blue conceived. closet soliloquist. Re-inventive. Unfortunate Venus in Virgo. sunworshipper/waterlover,right brained leftie, hilarious but shy and guarded, nostalgic, wounded idealist turned optimistic-realist w/ some existentialist tendancies(you catch me?); skeptical romantic whose actions are dictated by my wholehearted belief in Karma.... There are 3 places I require myself to travel to in the next 6 years: Barcelona (DONE!2005), Belize, Buenos Aires(2007ish)--Just watch me do it!!!UH, YEAH- I think blogthings are a dumb waste of time. So anywayz,
Your Fortune Is
Just because men have one, doesn't mean they have to be one. The Wacky Fortune Cookie Generator
Your Life is Like High Fidelity
Who Should Paint You: Andy Warhol
You've got an interested edge that would be reflected in any portrait
You don't need any fancy paint techniques to stand out from the crowd! What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?
You Are an Espresso
At your best, you are: straight shooting, ambitious, and energetic
At your worst, you are: anxious and high strung
You drink coffee when: anytime you're not sleeping
Your caffeine addiction level: high What Kind of Coffee Are You?
What Your Underwear Says About You
You have a lucky pair of underwear. And you wear it more than you should.
You're a closet exhibitionist who gets a thrill from being secretly naughty. You Are a Schoolgirl!
You're not quite as wild as a "kogyaru", but with your short plaid skirt
and silly white socks, you're still a sexual fetish object.
You can usually be seen hanging out in the girly section of the video game places,
collecting photobooth stickers of you and your friends. You may not be as innocent as you look.
Did those vending machine panties once belong to you? What's Your Japanese Subculture?
