About Me


in the words of kaci borowski: "have you ever heard that song "girls just wanna have fun?" or better yet, seen that crazy eighties movie called "girls just wanna have fun" where sarah jessica parker is some tarty catholic school girl with a heart of gold who just really wants to dance? well anyway, her best friend in the movie is helen hunt, and for some reason she's like bat shit crazy and she puts plastic dinosaurs in her hair and breaks out into song on the goddamn school bus. they have all these crazy adventures trying to sneak carrie bradshaw into this american bandstand-type dance contest and hilarity ensues cause' she falls in love with a dude with a mullet and a motorcycle who somehow, without any classical training outside of mtv and his garage, can dance like fuckin' baryshinikov. and his little sister is shannon doherty. seriously. can it get any better.my point is, if tara johnson's life was a movie, this would be it. "
these are the things that make us laugh. these are the things that make us cry. these are the things that make our knees shake for fear's sake and make our hearts break --braid
