About Me

These parts always feel so silly like I'm trying to get into some on line dating service (shudder). Bleh. Ok, here goes. I'm a recent east coast transplant. Originally from New York, then Boston, now living in Oakland. Dancing makes for a happy Whitney, as does singing. I grew up listening to hip hop and all that, yet I keep finding myself drawn back to the goth scene, lord knows why. I'm in school studying massage therapy, which has been a blast and is fascinating. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, but I'm not in a rush either, so no worries. Please don't bother trying to add me if you don't know me or haven't at least talked to me. I'm really not one for collecting people like baseball cards. I'm definitely down to meet new people though, so drop a note, say hi.

who knows, maybe it's you... I understand your desire to spread the word about your band or make lost of new friends, but please don't just "friend" me without at least writing a note of some kind to say hi first. I generally only "friend" folks I've met in person or have made some significant connection with online.
