About Me

My boyfriend moved out to California with me and landed a sweet job in record time. He's amazing!
And my brother moved to South Korea for a year, flying F-16s around. He f-ing rocks.
And I'm just trying to enjoy my 20s while I still got 'em.
I love all of the typical girl things: chick flicks, crafting, shopping, shoes, makeup, purses, cooking, pop music, sleepovers, and chivalry.
But I also love hip hop, college basketball, golfing, the NFL, Sportscenter, my (no longer overheating!) computer, programming, drumming, and many other things that a lot of people think I'm weird for. And I wonder why I always wind up hanging out with boys, even though they're gross.
It wasn't cliche enough for me to move to Silicon Valley for a job in software, so I had to become a San Francisco tree-hugger too (I blame college for both).
Vote peace, vote Green
I exist to spread the QN5 Love.
This is the new hip hop, devoid of boundaries, gimmicks or rigid genres with no apologies given...

My Interests

Hip hop, pop culture, drumming, reading, knitting, running, tooling around on my computer, drum corps, DCI, WGI, listening to awesome music, getting gully with Big Dan, watching all the cool kids play soccer, shopping, and getting tipsy... with e'rybody in the club. Just kidding, I hate clubs (but I love Chingy).

I'd like to meet:

Bear Grylls.

I desperately want to be the driver who picks him up off the side of some desolate road. That's not weird, is it?
