About Me

I'm a broke, struggling college student with a penchant for theatre and singing schmaltzy 80s ballads a la karaoke. I enjoy the outdoors, although I usually stay indoors and make up lame excuses for not going outside (the internet being one of my main diversions)... I am mind-numbingly, heart-breakingly boring and you would never, ever, EVER want to meet me.
