I am here for Friends

About Me

Also known as Donna. I find vegan versions of classic foods absolutely divine. Slang is my preferred language. In my opinion humor is best dry. My dog exclusively pulls rank in my quality time. I could spend all day hunting through thriftstore treasures and all night waxing nostalgia about New Mexico. Water and strong drip routinely satisfy me. Wind in my hair is sure to cheer me up. Rogue pet hair will always be my number one accessory. Tried and true friends will always be my number one priority.
