I am here for Friends

About Me

A grad student of epidemiology who loves music, random stuff, a good oatmeal porter, deep conversation and lots of it, practical jokes, my fabulous friends, and laughter. I like to laugh a lot. Seriously.
I'm a die-hard Steelers fan...my blood bleeds black and gold...and while some people are completely entertained by me when I'm watching a game, others get scared and run away.
You are 100% Pittsburgh.

Great job! There's nooooo doubt about it. You're from Da Burgh. You deserve a reward, so go have an Ahrn City or two. And GO STILLERS!

interesting people with passion for something. especially if it's music.

people who would go to the opera on a Saturday night but stay home on a Sunday afternoon watching football and drinking beer.

funny people.

and joan jett. because the rocker in me wants to be like her when i grow up.

and johhny cash. because you do not get any cooler than the man in black.
