I am here for Friends

About Me

..My name is Shannon. I enjoy driving by myself probably too much. I love making and receiving mix cd's. My favorite time of day is right before it gets dark out. I can probably recite every line of "That Thing You Do." I really enjoy various excursions of any kind, any where. Beaches at night should be mandatory. For everyone. I'm a book and music nerd. I love school supplies too much. I also really, really love the tips of paintbrushes.

Time travel enthusiasts with a pining for Long Island excursions. Anyone who would watch The Beatles Anthology with me. Those who agree with the usage of big words.
