About Me

Currently residing in the Bay Area and I really like it here. I would have never thought I'd adjust really. It's like SoCal except everyone is way educated and not as classist. I know, a generalist observation, but wutcha gonna do?I'm pretty much a classical dork/info junkie.I love the night, pretty random at times, and an avid talker. I seem like a hard ass initially, only cuz I am really shy or tired at the moment, in some cases it may be both. Mom's black beans and rice are the way to my heart. And also a side of plantanos, gotta have that too =)

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
