About Me

Hi! I'm Becky.
I'm a work in progress.
I live in Florida and I love ska [and just music in general]. I'm teaching myself to play the keyboard. [It's pretty intense.] I go to lots of shows and eat lots of pizza. I guess my life doesn't sound too exciting, but I try to enjoy it as much as I can anyways.

I am:
-a [future] photographer
-a total music nerd
-scatter-brained
-quirky
-smart
-sarcastic
-slightly neurotic

Any further questions? Please inquire within.
