Aveda conditioner just changed my life.

About Me

I had to answer a bunch of questions about myself, staccato style, for a class:I look forward to visiting the dentist. I love food but can't stand when my cooking doesn't follow with a strong reaction; it's like having a bad performance. I am eternally thankful for music. I am deathly afraid of birds. I love children and take pictures of them for a living. When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd say "Willow Bay"-She co-hosted NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad, and was the only female sports correspondent who didn't wear shoulder pads. I have had problems sleeping through the night since I was 12. I can't finish Gandhi's autobiography because it makes me feel too much. Anthony Hamilton makes me happy. I color my hair at least once a month. I edit everything I write. I am weak to earrings, lip gloss, and fashion...however I'm not high maintenence. I just started listening to A Tribe Called Quest (i know). Booger picking makes me wanna puke. I am trying to lead a more healthy lifestyle. My sister makes life worth living, we still hold hands. My daddy has had more influence on my life than anyone, incredible man. During a crazy immigrant mother daughter fight in high school, I retorted with "And you're not even proud of me". My mummy responded with, "How could I not be, you don't even have any cavities". Maybe that's why I like the dentist so much...but don't get it twisted, I aint no punk.
