My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm a graphic designer and I work at Ganz full time. I also do freelancing on the side with my best friend! I'm a ridiculous movie buff. I'm talking RIDICULOUS! You can find me on flixter too.

Though, what drives me is music. I don't get through the day without listening to something in my head, on my ipod, in my car ANYWHERE. Music = Life.♥

I'm an aspiring animal rights activist. I do what I can to try to speak up for animals to anyone who will listen. I strongly disagree with fishing & leaving your dog in the car even with the windows cracked - would you leave your child like that? KFC & McDonalds are some of the worst companies to ever grace the planet. Or maybe not grace so much as trample... Also, the big ones that get under my skin - like eating meat, buying from companies that test on animals, buying products tested on animals & I certainly try my best to not buy anything made from animals ie) leather, suede.. but this is not a perfect world and it's hard to say 100% that I don't own anything made from an animal - I'm far from 'perfect' that way, but I do try my hardest! I would love to meet some more people with the same thoughts in mind!
