Penny Lane

I went to Myspace and all I got was this lousy profile!

About Me

I'm from the far away land of Missouri and was named after a Beatles song. Even though I was raised conservatively, I'm very much a liberal grown up girl.

I have an overactive imagination.

My friends are like my family and I will totally have their backs should a futuristic street fight from the 80s ever break out all Warriors-style. WORD!

My Interests

Exploring New Places. Event planning. Lazy days listening to KCRW and drinking hot tea or cold mojito's. Watching old movies or Wonder Years reruns. Reading Good books. Meeting new people. Pancakes. Watching Sumo. Petting cats. Men with Beards (is that a daddy complex or a Santa complex?). Waiving my fist at things. Typewriters. ..

I'd like to meet:

People who don't victimize themselves & do resist becoming tainted. People who can carry a conversation--interesting, intelligent and funny without being pretentious or fake.table table table, div table table{ background-color:rgb(251,162,72);
