I am here for Friends

About Me

I love the smell of a fresh hotel room almost as much as I love the downtown branch of the Nashville Public Library..that place is incredible!
I lived in Tennessee for one year, and as a result, I think it is ludicrous that fine dining establishments in Illinois do not serve sweet tea. I love me some sweet tea.
I am morally opposed to the following:
girl jeans on boys
boys who wax their eyebrows and other body hair
skinny jeans on girls
most whiny punk music
beans of any variety
CD Burning
over-use of the word "random"
Kellie Pickler and other celebrities who feign stupidity in hopes of being "cute"
people calling me Nikki
fake flowers
Katie Couric's lipstick
I love reading, and I never pass up a chance to hit up a bookstore (and due to my tenure as a bookstore associate, I often find myself assisting fellow shoppers with their literary needs).
I miss my friends in Nash.
I believe the Magic Bullet is the only kitchen appliance one needs to make a gourmet meal.
I own a cat named Veruca. She is named for the spoiled, yet lovable English character on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory…and NOT for the foot wart. She is in foster care right now.
I wish I was British...or knew someone British...or just had a British accent, for that matter.
I have a strange array of Celebrity crushes including David Cook from American Idol, Conan O'Brien, Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs, and the Russell Brand (disgusting as he is).
I have a strong aversion to masks of any kind.
I sing constantly...sometimes I sound pretty and sometimes I sound like a startled cow.
I really love tattoos...I mean, really. datman studios was here wl4

Spirit & Truth...or, an explanation for those who are wondering about the new tattoos.
