Hey let's cross the sea and get some culture

About Me


My tattoos will last longer than your romance
    I'm 25 contrary to outer appearance I'm Irish I'm a proud single mother my daughter will always be the love of my life I'm not impressed by tattoos, haircuts, or fashion I have two cats that I saved that are named Fred and Ben Savage I really don't have a clue as to why I'm living in Cincinnati. I reign from two places: outside of Kansas City and Owensboro, Ky I'm a caffeine addict I hate those who can't speak proper English I'm not particularly articulate when it comes to expressing my feelings...i.e. i don't get emotional or sappy I've been called an ass on very many occasions due to my sarcasm i'm extremely selective with my friends my family is my everything I only drink coca-cola when it comes to soda products...yes it's called soda..not pop...not coke... I love chocolate milk but i'm lactose intolerant so it's a no win situation I want a pair of yellow rain boots so i can frolic in puddles like the morton salt girl I'm obsessed with U2....we'll leave it at that I'm a clean freak and can't stop when I have time off of work I love playing video games... I'm an elitist and not afraid to admit it I've been playing the violin since I was 12 I have an addiction to books and always looking for a new read I will not take a compliment I do not wear my heart on my sleeve I have an extremely dry sense of humor I don't like many people. Sure I'll be nice but that doesn't guarantee anything more than a formal exchange of pleasantries Believe it or not, I'm the nicer sister. My time is precious so please don't waste it. I work for Starbucks I'm also a workaholic Whenever I'm sleep deprived (which is most of the time), I either have a tendency to not function or I can't stop laughing My friends and family always come first I'm not straightedge I'm not Christian Even if i'm not any of those labels, doesn't mean I don't respect them. Just don't go on a diatribe and try to convert me. I'm a big girl and can make my own decisions
This would be a good time to address the people that I do not particularly care for:
  • Bands....just don't even bother unless I personally know you...and for those who just now got hip to the myspace thing..i know it's exciting but this isn't your big break so don't spam me either with your "friendly" emails
  • 16 year olds or any that are still going through puberty...your mentality bores me and let's be honest, i'm not a fan of your annoying antics, trends, or the overall way you conduct yourselves..go sip on a rootbeer float and do some homework
  • girls with photos of your cleavage or clever angles...we know that's the only asset you have and in reality a tragic beast
  • people that don't have photos or just photos of other people...
  • those with private profiles....message me first
  • older guys...your overinflated ego will not flatter me in this lifetime
  • those who pose by their cars
  • girls with shiny lips
  • oh and ravers...god you guys are just annoying
  • basically, I'll probably deny your friend requests..maybe even reply to your messages being on the crass side

  • and yes I do know that I sound like a complete asshole

    My Interests

    Below are some of my favorite tracks that are always playing on my ipod. Yes, they are ecclectic and don't make much sense "flow-wise"
    My amazing child Sophia, my father (r.i.p.), friends and family, slinging coffee from the wee hours of the morning until late at night, dance parties in my underwear alone in my apartment, constantly challenging myself, reading as much as possible, finding an album that doesn't bore me by the fifth track, being organized, cleanliness, living alone and loving every moment of it, witty obscure pop culture references, having a sense of humor that no one seems to understand, saving animals, driving back and forth to owensboro, ky to spend my weekends with my daughter, and loving the fact that i'm extremely book smart but absent minded as all hell
