Miss Nikki

gonna start a revolution from my bed...

About Me

I like music; food; movies; sleeping; dancing; karaoke; and dogs. I've recently moved to Edinburgh, but stupid myspace won't let me change my location. What's THAT about?

Also, I sometimes sing on live radio programs with my favourite band Sloan while my friend Kevin video tapes it; and my other friend Justin edits it; and then the lovely people of myspace watch as I make a complete fool out of myself. This is the stuff that memories are made of...
