if Tom isn't in your top 8 then you need to get with the times, sister.

About Me

How do you begin to describe yourself?? i guess i will start off with a little history. i moved to Reno, NV from Las Vegas as soon as possible after high school. been here for about 5 years now. i am a marketing/journalism major at UNR. after a brief stint with the boxing team, i decided to never play a real sport again (softball and tramp-skating are fun though). Recently, i launched my own music magazine called Scrapbook Media (scrapbookmedia.net). Things are going pretty well so far.
i love to surround myself with interesting, talented people. i absolutely adore falling in love with people i have no business hooking up with in the first place. i think maybe i have some sort of sick obsession with the inevitable let down. pain quite possibly the best reminder that you are truly alive. i like to write (poetry, songs, short stories) and rediscovered my love for reading about 3 years ago. most of the time i sit in my room, frustratingly playing my guitar writing and learning obscure covers. Ya, without rambling on for too long. . . that is kinda me!
some of my favorite hobbies include: arguing with my friends over pointless subject matters until they hate me, being insecure with new relationships, not washing my hair for like 8 days, cock blocking, lending Chris money and letting him break my stuff, telling Johnathan "the Blaze" Benson that he is a bitch
Life Motto: "it is better to die on your feet than to live a lifetime on your knees"
