I'd walk one mile on this broken glass to fall down at your feet.

About Me


My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!
whatever. I am 22 years old from Chicago. Grew up on the Southside, moved to the Northside to be closer to school and away from problems. I go to Loyola University Chicago ('08) majoring in Sociology with a minor in Urban Studies. I live in Rogers Park in Chicago right along the lake. I am currently babysitting for a family in the Ravenswood neighborhood.
I play volleyball for Loyola's club team. I've been playing volleyball for 13 years+. It's my life. I currently have 5 tattoos (two on back, one on each ankle, and one on my hip) and 6 piercings (two in each lobe, two in my left cartilage).
I take my photography very seriously. I currently own a Nikon D70s and a Nikon D75. I have a pretty good portfolio (this coming from the Cubs photographer!!) where I almost landed a photography internship at Wrigley Field. I just got hired to work at a photography studio in Chicago, where I'll be doing a lot of weddings, christenings, bar mitzvahs, etc. I love to do freelance stuff. I have some of my portfolio on here, but most of it is on deviantart.com. Let me know if you're interested in seeing it!:
I listen to lots of punk, folk, and indie music. My favorite artists are The Lawrence Arms, Iron & Wine, Ray LaMontagne, The Distillers, and Poison the Well.
I'm a picky eater who complains about life way too much. I grew up under difficult situations that made me mature at a young age. I take life too seriously. I hardly have time to have fun.
I have great friends and an amazing little sister. When I "grow up" and get done with grad school, I'd like to into urban planning and policy making.
I have a Myspace stalker. I wish they would just get a life. But... I guess imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery, right?
don't steal my layout.
SIDE NOTE: Don't fuck with me on here. I'm not a fan of weirdos who stalk me on here. Freaks.
