The world's a rollercoaster, and I am not strapped in

About Me

Im sure almost everyone that reads this will already know all of the basics about me, but just in case: Im a CSUN graduate, I love music, spending time with friends, and going to shows. I would rather do something silly at home with a big group of friends than spend an arm and a leg to go out. Im a reality tv junkie. My favorite shoes are Converse. I have a pet hampster named Kiwi. Thats enough for now...

My Interests

Sleeping, drinking champagne, tulips (on your organ), hiking, converse, Maui, sarcasm, Yosemite, optimism, foot rubs, spending excessive amounts of money on things I dont need, reading for fun, celebrity gossip, my sidekick, journaling, nerdy pictures of myself and others, concerts, bay area pride, being nosey, talking loudly, singing badly, signing well, pesto pizza, being judgemental, double meat with onions ketchup and mustard added, Us Weekly.
