About Me

Layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts
Leia is a 21 year old art student and part time sandwich maker who lives in Santa Cruz, California, off Mission St. She was not born this way, however. Leia, Jerkface McGillicutty to her friends, was born in San Francisco in the early 1980's, as you probably know if you can subtract 21 from 2005. She grew up in the Haight district or the Haight Ashbury as non-natives sometimes call it.
after attending Lutheran grammar school, Leia decided harsh discipline and creative stifling were to her liking and went on to attend Sacred Heart Cathedral Prepatory, SHCPHS for short, a Catholic high school.
There is nothing liked a Catholic education combined with teenage hormones to bring out the punk rocker in a girl. Leia was no exception during her high school years, Leia attended the "rock and roll" concerts and wore "vintage" clothing and lived in the "Haight" district.
Despite being wooed by many of the Pac Ten universities for her excellent line kicking skillz, Leia decided to give up football in order to concentrate on her studies in a field much more lucrative than professional sports; art.
In 2001, Leia enrolled at University of California at Santa Cruz. Leia is not sure how she wants to spend her post collegiate haze. Many of the Forbes Top 100 companies are recruiting her for her line kicking abilities, which is weird because they do not have football teams. Leia is also contemplating having an affair with an older, married neighbor. But if you ask me what the future holds for this bright young star, I have one word for you; PLASTICS!
