I love . . .
cooking, photography, the way tire stores smell, traveling at high rates of speed, watching crap movies on the big screen, watching good movies in my jammies, cartoons, music, my boyfriend, my family, long walks in the city, karaoke, tattoos, new shoes, my cat, pedicures, making out, cold beer, vinyl, vintage clothes, scooters, writing, reading, trivia, sleep, learning new things.
I'd like to meet:
Dolly Parton.
