About Me

23 skidoo! performing at the mercury cafe in denver!23 Skidoo! Performing at Frankie Manning Weekend! I'm the one dancing with the super blond guy haha...and im wearing a corset...enjoy! Since I just came home from travelling in New Zealand for 6 months I thought I should change a few things about me...most are still the same.I DJ'ed (yes past tense) at Radio1190 for over three years so I basically go crazy when I don't know about at least two new bands every week now...I get bored with my music easily due to my craving for new stuff, thanks to Dustin,t hat problem is currently being solved. Most important thing about me is that I swing dance at least three times a week and am apart of 23skidoo, Denver's swing dance team which competes nationally. It is my passion, and I always thought so, but came to a deeper realization after last semester where I was unable to dance as much due to school and my heart sunk. I now know that as long as I can dance, I will be happy. I also coached, choreographed and danced for the CU team for a intercolligate competition in April, we won ( watch the video!) I worked as a barista in Boulder and New Zealand for the past 3 and half years where I aimed to make latte art whenever i can, but my New Years Resolution is to NOT work in the food industry anymore..... Im ADDICTED to college basketball. I majored in Film, which was definitely the right choice, my senior film was voted best Documentary, which was a much needed ego boost. I graduated college in May with a 3.0 and DO NOT plan on going to grad school. Now I just want to dance and live with matt and travel as much as possible.....My teeth chatter when i'm nervous about something, I am cursed with bad ankles and a clumsy nature, I think fireworks are one of mans most beautiful creations....and like most people I know, im just trying to figure everything out now that I've successfully avoided it for 6 months...but im not worried...my best friend molly and i are starting a comic... FUTURE IDEAS/PLANS: live in: *Seattle *Brazil *New Zealand (CHECK!) *Vancover LEARN: to be completely fluent in sign language instead of only partically* spanish better than matt* guitar* how to fence* how to cook a 3 course meal* WORK: For that awesome radio station in seattle (I APPLIED!) *on film sets again *editing trailers or music videos *be a musical coordinator for films ( I applied!)CU JITTERBUFFS! 2007 INTERCOLLEGIATE SWING BATTLE CHAMPIONS!*I have an amazing brother who is my favorite person in the whole world! and now he has a kick ass girlfriend! even better! *i always have to match....its my ONLY OCD trait *i bruise like a peach, ..but i also think they are sexy..so it's cool. *I don't sleep that much so if you call im usually up...4 hours gets me through... *Im messy....my name doesn't rhyme with that for no reason.... * I hate worms....you cut them in half and then there are two?WTF? * I heart dave grohl. *I don't believe in laughing quietly * I write a haiku about every guy i've ever kissed...haha so if you're lucky.....j/k! I Think my list is complete * I want redheaded bi-lingual children..starting an attractive, culturally intellectual new race....if you have the recessive gene and speak anything from french to greek to Filipino...lets talk. Then make babies. *I haven't outgrown making mixed cds...you know you're special to me if i make you one... to me they are an art form that is to be taken seriously. * The more laid back and spontaneous you are, the better we'll get along..style type="text/css"formimg#googleTLogo { background-image:url(http://x.myspace.com/images/powered_by_ google_white.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; }#googleTLogo { vertical-align:bottom; width:120px; height:30px; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(sr c='http://x.myspace.com/images/powered_by_google_white.png', sizingMethod='image'); }
