I am here for Friends

About Me

Brooklyn, New Yorker by birth, but home is really between my ears and the sound of it is immense. The only black chick in the room with the really short hair having a good time...that'll be me. Say hello. I dare you.My friends are spread out across the country and the world and I like that as we source one another for thoughts, temperature, experience. Music tends to be the first thing that we all have in common...all else follows naturally as it should.Music and chocolate are love and I indulge in them both as much as possible. Concerts and Hershey/Godiva/Ghirardelli galore! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
