RIOT NRRD

About Me

i'm a girl. i'm a record geek and i own way too many books for my own good. i like to sew and cook while wearing combat boots and a NOW shirt. i tripled majored and have a pointless master's degree. i'm a classically trained percussionist and semi-professional drummer (jellyeye.com, http://www.drummingcircle.com/kaiju_daiko.htm). i'm a dj at wluw (listen online at wluw.org). i'm also on a rocky horror picture show cast (midnightmadness.org). i like fluffy kitties and long walks on the beach... i do not, however, like pina coladas or getting caught in the rain.

My Interests

wluw, feminism, record collecting, independent film, reading, sewing, drumming, thrift shopping, staying up late, singing in the shower, road trips, photobooths, live band karaoke, missed connections, postsecret, baby pandas
