I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm pretty cool. i like punk rock, and bourbon, road trips, vegas, cubs games and kisses. I just got married and spent WAY too much time planning my wedding. I have replaced the obsession with wedding planning with the shallow obsession of collecting balenciaga bags....
I love vegas and it would really help if I could learn all the rules to blackjack. I love spinning class and kickboxing and would probably still work out if I didnt have to. I love my friends but never spend enough time with them. I have 10 knitting/sewiing projects started that will probably never get finished. Did i mention I am messy and somewhat disorganized? My husband loves that about me!
I am definately a midwestern girl, but surviving and actually enjoying life in southern cal!

My Interests

Motorcycles, Cycling, Bourbon, Knitting, Travel, Reading and making friends on online diamond and handbag forums......

I'd like to meet:

Really, I think I just about have enough friends.....but since i'm in LA I really should make friends with drew barrymore and nicole richie...

Music:

This is my favorite part! My top 5 favorite bands are Alkaline Trio, Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion, Supersuckers and Beastie Boys. Runners up are Descendants, Tossers, Fugazi, Bad Religion, Cake, Lawrence Arms, Old 97's, and The Get up Kids. I also have an affinity for country and blue grass. Gots to love Johnny Cash and Mr. Jennings. Also everything on bloodshot is pretty awesome. Currently Bobby Bare and Splitlip Rayfield top my playlist.

Television:

I hate to admit to the amount of reality tv I watch. It really is a guilty pleasure. It all started back with real world and trading spaces.... but it has gotten trashier and all the more interesting. I am a big fan of all the bad MTV reality such as laguna beach and my sweet 16 (have you seen this show!) I no longer have cable and am very disappointed that I cant watch Tori Spellings reality show or any of the bridezilla shows on Bravo!

Heroes:

drew barrymore, my grandma, simone debouvoir, brady armstrong and of course... wonderwoman and of course, eddie spaghetti....
