About Me

Points of interest:
- I spent half my life in the Middle East. (Despite popular belief i am not Arab or a terrorist for that matter, funny how those always fall into the same category)
- I traveled the world (kind'a, if airports count...).
- I speak Arabic fluently (if u ask me to say something in Arabic i'll most likely cuss u out with a smile).
- I can produce strange noises from a string type instrument.
- I'm Brutally honest (most of the time).
- I don't beleive in sense of humor, *chuckles*.
A few of my fav. things:
GOD'DANG SHOULDER MASSAGES!!! My H. and her accent, Paper towels (im obsessed with having clean hands!), LEAVING airports and hospitals, crazy girl Squirrel-horror-stories, jumping into a huge pile of warm clothes fresh from the dryer, getting off of a plane (no pun intended), Brody Dalle (Distillers Era), Orange Juice, bonding w/ my guitars, pretending not to be scared of crazy homeless people who are yelling at me, girls wearing nothing but socks, doughnuts, choc. chip cookies, choc. eclaires, king crab legs, Rasberries, the sound, feeling + smell of new strings on my guitar, whip cream, rootbeer floats, Coldstone ice cream, the smell of freshly sliced lemon or basil... also the smell of a tomato plant or gasoline, the smell of my new electric guitar, pecan pie and banana cream pie, chocolate mousse...theres more...
For those of you who ARE literate (and care), I'm majoring in graphic design at Sacramento State University. I'm very much into designing typography, especially calligraphy and the like.
