About Me

My single greatest weakness is that I have no capacity whatsoever for SUBTLETY. I cannot hide what I am thinking, and because I am a performer, my facial expressions always betray me.I have been told that I am extremely unapproachable, though I don't mean to be.I speak English, German, Latin, French, and Italian, in order of fluency. Currently working on Vietnamese, thanks to my *awesome* nail ladies, Ky and Hoa at LEE'S NAILS, VINTAGE FAIRE MALL. Damn tricky language, though.The one stereotype I can say I most accurately fit is that yes, I am in my mid-twenties, approaching my late twenties, and yes, I do wear too much lip gloss. What can I say, I have to keep the instrument polished at all times. (That's what she said.) (ba-dum CHING)
