On the count of 3 everybody run back 2 ur fantasy

About Me

I'm pretty into Tyra right now...sorry Verb...I tried to resist. I dislike ignorant people, rude people, bell peppers and ground beef. I love the beach...but not the people who go there, Funyons, Laura, makin' it big in career fields that are impossible to make it big in-like theatre, lip gloss that makes your lips go BABANG!, education, babies, Vincent, rhyming, challenging people to speak in rhyme (I win. I always do.), Will Ferrell, lamp, and complicated shirts. I direct theater. I write. Imma change the world.This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editorâ„¢ V2.5

My Interests

Theatre, Cultural Studies and African American Studies...oh wait, those are my majors...fabrics that can be draped for the sake of sassiness, hip-hop, spoken word, poetry, working with kids, incense, pretending I'm a hippie, recycling bottles when I'm done drinking out of them, nap time, working way too much so I can buy stuff I never really needed in the first place, mouthing songs like I'm singing them, walking around "the hood" at night, lilys, selling people large appliances and accessories, and eating in the wee hours of the morning then going to bed with unsettled food in my stomach.

I'd like to meet:

Honest, creative, intelligent, ambitious people with their heads on right. People who know what they're doing in life...or at least manage to enjoy the journey while they figure it out. People who know what's up...People like YOU!!!
