I am here for Friends

About Me

first things first -- i have myspace music accounts. one is for my hiphop music and one is for my acoustic music . click the links and check them out. incidentally, if you didn't disable the option in your privacy settings, that's my song (me, my voice, haha) that you're hearing RIGHT NOW. yeah.
i love music. i write, record and perform solo hiphop and acoustic music -- i released an independent and solo EP last 2004, and a second EP is in the works this year. i love body modifications. i've got eleven piercings (five lobe piercings [two of which are stretched], an industrial, a tongue piercing and a labret) and four tattoos, and i'm not even done yet. i change my hair color constantly and i love stark eye makeup and black nail polish. i shop for clothes and old toys at ukay-ukay stores. i love grocery shopping. i love reading young adult fiction, feminist, classical, science fiction and fantasy literature. (in other words, i'd make a perfect librarian -- and what a coincidence! i'm a library and information science major.) i'm a trekkie. my dream job is to be a highly-paid archivist. i'm a terrible liar. (translation: i can't lie for shit.) i suffer from wild woman mood swings. my greatest weakness is ice cream. i love surprises. and i always say that i hate libran men, but that just goes to show you how much of a masochist i am. it's worth it anyway. this quu will never get tired of loving her tee. and i'm sure tee feels the same way. ♥
anyway,here's what i'm listening to right now:
if you have a last.fm account, add me. my username is inkheartgirl .
this, right here, is the story of my life. these people (and those two dogs -- bebe and sheba; my other two dogs [rhea and chocnut] aren't up there) mean the world to me. some of them have known me my whole life; some have known me only a couple of years. some of them i talk to every day; and i don't even talk to a few of them anymore. nevertheless, they've all -- at one time or another -- touched my life, and i will be forever grateful. these people are amazing. krayzeleh!

Heroes:

my family. it's a cliche, but there you go. i don't think i could ever get by without them. true, my immediate family isn't perfect. (oh the drama! haha.) but we're not bad -- not by a long shot.
my ext ended fa mi ly. they rock! i recently reconnected with my cousins (who live in the US) and it's so uncanny how we can be so much on the same wavelength when some of them haven't even met me face to face. how cool is that? blood really is thicker than water.
my cherbears and my kincey wincey spider ! these two have managed to make distance a non-issue when it comes to our friendships. it's amazing how they're both an ocean away and still so close to me.
cog. this band will blow you away. i'm not saying this because the bassist is my brother, or because (in fact) i think of all of them as my brothers. i'm saying this because it's true. the dedication and determination they put into their music is so inspiring. and it doesn't hurt that they're the best big brothers a girl could ever ask for, either.
raf. how he can stand to be with me with my irrational cancerian ways and my wild woman mood swings, i'll never know. but i'm glad. ♥

My Blog
