I rock too fast for love

About Me

When I laugh a lot my nose starts to run. I seem to stay awake for longer than I should. I try to experience as much as I can, the more spontaneous or interesting the better. I dance to make people laugh. I am loyal and probably too honest. My last name means "lightning" in Polish, and my nickname is Half-Rack. I play competitively on dodgeball and kickball teams. I love songs with prominent bass lines. I am split between New York, Boston, and Tokyo. A friend said that I am the laziest person she knows, yet also said I do a lot more than anyone she knows too. I'm easygoing and almost always hungry.

Things I dislike very much include New Jersey, crowded and slow public transportation, slow walkers/drivers, strong winds, and ambiguity in communication...

My Interests

Rock, shows, music, traveling, DJing, taking concert photos ( SecretsShown.com ), road trips, sitting, eating, driving, sleeping, street art, playing bass, photobooth and polaroid photos, being lazy, Holgas, Japanese (pop) culture, chai stuff in warm milk, anything glittery, lightning bolts, guys with glasses who can cook, Vice magazine, the color orange, gig posters, sweet hangs, good hair days, making fun of you.

I'd like to meet:


People with big hearts, big dreams, and big appetites. People who make my nose run.

I'd also really like to meet Robert Downey Jr.
