Do thou amend thy face, and I'll amend my life.

About Me

I am getting ready to graduate from college (finally) this coming May with a degree in Theatre Arts... when i graduate, most likely I'll go back home and work for some different theatre companies for a while, or go straight to grad school (for a Masters in Shakespearean Studies)... I play both Violin and Piano (but sadly, not enough)... I love to sing and dance... but am a technician at heart.Would you survive the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?78%

Played a lot of video games, have we? ;p You'd probably live to see another day. But don't get cocky. Stay on your toes, keep your eyes peeled and don't drink tap water. And don't trust anyone with long sleeves...

Could you survive the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?
