Hello Iceland!

About Me



Natural redhead. Snarky designer. Accomplished tap dancer. Voracious reader. Tiny dancer. Car singer. Design Slave. Baton Twirler. Champion napper. Walking contradiction. I have a fondness for the yellow flash on my Colorsplash so that everyone looks like they have jaundice. I like a good bassline. Peas kinda creep me out. I had a big crush on Gene Kelly when I was a kid. I don't wear a watch but I own about ten of them, all with dead batteries.
