DROP BEATS NOT BOMBS.

About Me


I'm somewhat of a girly girl, but a tomboy at heart
I LOVE music and sports
I'm a firm believer in karma (good & bad)
I'll try anything once
I cry during romantic comedies
I cherish my close friends
I'm truly grateful for my mother and family
I don't know how to cook
I forgive, but almost never forget
I'll probably beat you at "Friends" trivia
I'm never on time
I like taking showers with the radio on
I secretly enjoy driving alone (especially at sunset)
I live by the golden rule
I'd die for a moment in heaven
I prolong good conversation
I admire eloquent speakers & passionate people
I always hear beats
I shy away from extravagant things
I despise ignorance, cruel intentions & superficiality
I prefer breakfast foods over dinner
I find ultimate satisfaction in completing my to-do lists
I laugh at (and make) the corniest jokes
I envy a child's innocence
I'm a sucker for poets
I respect risk-takers
I won't go down without a fight
I have a pretty mean jumpshot
I finally took a chance at love
...ALL WITH NO REGRETS.
