About Me


and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
-the Beatles
I am a pragmatic dreamer, an organized anarchist, a volatile pacifist, an independent with dependency issues, a hippy with hygiene, a sheltered adventurer, an open-minded know-it-all, a forgiving judge, an introvert with a big mouth, an old soul with a juvenile sense of humor, an articulate expletive, a neurotic free spirit, an insecure egomaniac, a lover without a lover, a singer without a band, a writer without a story, a woman without intuition, an ethereal atheist, a destructive creator, an empathetic bitch, a profound materialist, a damaged idealist, a klutz with a lucky streak, a white girl with a bedunkadunk.
I'm 19 and a junior in college. I was singing the Beach Boys even before I learned to talk. Since then I haven't really shut up; if I love a song, I'll sing the guitar solo. At 14 I joined my first band and started playing weddings and private parties. I'm opera trained. I am a student by choice and a starving artist by nature. Oh. And I'm trying to change the world.
I sold my soul to Simeon.
