If you're going to lie to me, at least lie well.....

About Me

I'm mostly here to keep in touch with people I already know, specifically people from high school (Lutheran High/Loara High), college (Cypress College - newspaper staff especially/Chapman University), and anyone who I've met along the way and may have lost touch with.Any of the good photos I've taken were done by my number 1 friend. She's working on her portfolio and is all about doing TFP/TFCDs with aspiring models. So if you're interested, contact her. =)
But....If you really want to know about me...I have moments of sheer genius which I tend to back up with moments of complete stupidity. I'm a bit unpredictable in the fact that I do things on a whim. It tends to get me in trouble, but I'd rather try with everything I have and fail than not try at all and spend my life wondering "what if...".
Beyond that, I accept everyone for who they are and what they believe in. I'm a vegetarian and extremely supportive of animal rights and the ASPCA. I believe that gays should have the same privledges as straight people do. I'm Lutheran and went to private school growing up. I have strong beliefs in that area but I will not impose my belief system upon you. I'm a Sephora whore although I usually don't get all gussied up and prettified. I'm extremely competitive and I'm not afraid to get dirty. I can hang and play with the boys but am always willing to indulge in pedicures and facials. I'm a Mac user which makes me better than you (it's true, really. Mac users are better) =P. I'd like to move. Ideally to Canada (if you haven't been - go - it's gorgeous) but since that's not the easiest of moves, I'd like to be on the east coast (New England area). We'll see though. Maybe someday I'll get there. I have 4 piercings and I can see myself getting more. As soon as I work up the nerve to have something permanent on my body I'll get a tattoo (luckily I already know what I want). That's pretty much me in a nutshell.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I don't really want to meet anyone, but creative types and people who like taking spur-of-the-moment road trips get bonus points...

For the record, I don't accept random add requests, especially from private profiles. If you want to be my "friend" then at least send a message saying "hi, you seem cool so I'm requesting you" or "I got your Myspace link from 'x' friend"...anything is better than nothing!

Music:

I like a very wide-range of music. I really can't say that I like one type more than another. It's all dependent on my mood. I'm always fiending for something new too, so if you know of a band/artist that is absolutely amazing - send them my way...

As far as bands/artists I already love - the list looks something like this (in alphabetical order)...

30 Seconds to Mars, 80s music (anything), AFI, The All-American Rejects, Avril Lavigne, Beastie Boys, The Beatles, Beck, Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five, Billy Talent, Brand New, Breaking Benjamin, Brendan Bensen, Brookline, Dashboard Confessional, Dave Matthews/Dave Matthews Band, Dean Martin, Death Cab for Cutie, Dustin Kensrue, The Eagles, Eminem, Evans Blue, Everclear, The Fenians, Finger Eleven, Fleetwood Mac, Frank Sinatra, Gary Allan, Jack Johnson, Jack’s Mannequin, Jason Feddy, Jewel, Jurassic 5, Kelly Clarkson, Kenny Chesney, The Killers, Leah Andreone, Liz Phair, Mike Vitale, Miranda Lambert, moe., Muse, NIN, Panic! at the Disco, Pennywise, Plastick, Radio Project One, Reliant K, Rise Against, Say Anything, Scissor Sisters, The Tijuana Dogs, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Umphrey’s McGee

Movies:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Replacements, Fight Club, Happy Gilmore, Rocky Marciano, Little Miss Sunshine, Harry Potter (all of them), Love and Sex, Swingers, Ocean's 11 (Frank Sinatra version), The Mighty Ducks trilogy (I'll admit to it)...Alright, I so can't think right now -- Let me get back to you
