I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am one of the sweetest girls you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. I love to laugh. I love to collect eclectic people and pull them into my circle of friends. I am a child of the universe and so are you. I will draw you in with my magnetic eyes and make you a happy slave to my friendship. We will frolic in fields of pansies and giggle because we know the secret to true contentment. I am a fan of the abstract, ridiculous, raunchy, unexplainable and slightly masochistic. I will sing you to sleep. I will write you a poem. I am one unique butterfly and I surround myself with other butterflies. I will give you amazing advice or share a drink anytime. I enjoy finding humor in everyday happenings. I only do things that bring me joy and I encourage you to do the same.

10 Things I Learned at the Jerry Springer Show

1. Penises are national. Women can get some whenever they want, so it is not worth it to fight with your sister over a "piece of dick." 2. Boobs actually do look as nasty as you imagine when you ...
