About Me

Treasures From Beneath
Yeah...so, I moved to Chicago a little over a year ago from my hometown in Western North Carolina. I have to say that I miss the south -especially my hometown- but Chicago is awesome and I'm glad I'm here. I'm a trained actor (but It's a lifelong process...that sounds so annoying and pretentious, but it's true). I walk dogs in order to make money, which is a fun job (harder than it sounds, though - it'll wear you out!). I love animals, I'm an artist and a musician, a huge nerd, an ego maniac with an inferiority complex, I'm a hippie(It's my birthright), yet makeup and clothes are two of my favorite things (Hey, I'm allowed to be a little shallow). My family is a huge part of my life, even if they are 600 miles away (I MISS MY DOG and CAT). My friends are really important to me. I have a dog, a cat, a dwarf rabbit and a box turtle...hmm...ok, that's enough total rambling I think I may have covered enough ground here...I dunno, I hate these damn things because I always end up writing a novel.You paid attention during 91% of high school!  

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!
Do you deserve your high school diploma?

My Interests

Theatre, Film, Television, Dance, Music, Art, Animals, I like to read a lot, umm, i think that was vague enough to cover all my bases...I'm kind of a nerd...the good kind- not the kind that lives in my mom's basement, plus I'm hygenic and sorta cute...

I'd like to meet:

Ok, it's come to the point where I have to say: If I don't know you, PLEASE don't send me a friend request. I'm sure you're very nice and very cool, and I don't want to be a bitch about it, but it's getting too difficult to weed through all the creepy people to find the cool people. Thanks everybody! :)

Music:

My music all got erased somehow( I had it all organized, too!! Grrr) so I'm gonna do this quick and dirty for now...this is Very abbreviated: The Beatles!!! The Who, U2, Buddy Holly, The Small Faces, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Bowie, The Kinks, CCR, Smashing Pumpkins, Live, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Blind Melon, No Doubt, Rage against the Machine, NIN, 311, STP, Simon and Garfunkle, Nick Drake, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Chuck Barry, Dick Dale, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Dusty Springfield, Smokey Robinson, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Buffet, The Pretenders, Mozart, Tchaikovski, Beethoven, Danny Elfman
