I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Been a long time so I figured an update was necessary. I'm blunt, I'm honest, and pretty much totally random. From the bubble outside of LA that is Thousand Oaks. Left for school but eventually came back. Basically spend all my time in LA or Orange County so it's rare that you'll actually find me in T.O. though. I love road trips and adventures and am always down to just take off and explore. I'm all about trying everything I can in life because I figure; what do we really have to lose? Grew up dancing and cheerleading but also did crazy wilderness-related things. I really miss sailing too so that's kind of random. I work in the music industry so much of my time is devoted to that and you can usually find me out at shows. I'm also a season ticket holder for Los Angeles Kings hockey (yes, they suck, but they're rebuilding so shut it). That's basically me, so, if you didn't already know all that I guess your tutorial is over.
***Let's be honest, if I don't actually know you, or have, at some point in my crazy life, known you, the chance of us becoming internet "friends" is slim. I'm here to catch up with old friends and share laughs with current friends and I actually do know everyone on my friends list, so, if you still wanna try... send me a message or something, show me some serious effort and then maybe we can talk. It has happened before, but it's not like I'm here to find a husband or a date so let's all be realistic, ok?

My Interests

Music
My friends (show me good company and I'll show you a good night)

I'd like to meet:

Like I said above, I'm not exactly counting on MySpace to lead me to the love of my life, so I'm mostly just here to catch up with friends old and new, maybe find some new bands to check out, and OCCASIONALLY (very rarely) meet some cool people, but you gotta show effort and send a message. Oh, and if your band sounds nothing like anything I have listed in my likes, then let's not waste your time or mine and skip the friend request, k?NEW AIM NAME (if you like that sort of thing)..... SunsetStripLocal

I recommend any and all of these books especially the Klosterman books if you like pop culture and want a good read!

Heroes:

OK, so i've totally thought about this question, and I really pondered because it's not a topic that should be taken lightly ya know? I mean calling someone your hero is a big compliment so I thought about it and I decided...it's you. That's it, you're totally my hero!
