I'm the female version of Garth

About Me

My name is Allison and I'm a second year law student and former music teacher. As for the female version of Garth thing, it all started in college with my blonde hair and love for headbanging. My law school buddies took it a step further when I wore my glasses. I knew the description would stick around awhile when I was lazy one day and wore baggy brown pants and a flannel. When law school isn't kicking my ass, I love going to bars, shows (both music and theatre/comedy), and overall just hanging out in the city.

Euphemisms
