I was born in Illinois and grew up in the Chicago suburbs until I moved to Arizona in 2001. I spend all my money on music; whether it be going to a show, traveling to see a show, or buying CDs. I take lots and lots of pictures. I love eating with chopsticks. I have a fear of drowning, and deep murky water. I've never done an illegal drug. I don't want to be a mother. I'm addicted to caffiene. Dr Pepper and Sweet Tea are just too amazing for me to give up. I've never eaten at Jack-in-the-Box, their menu freaks me out. I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty. I'm in denial of my lactose intolerance. I get uncomfortable when people stare or give me compliments. I need a part-time job. I don't like it when people brag about fighting or how much they drank last night. I let out my aggression at shows. I dislike living paycheck to paycheck. I wish I had paid closer attention to my grandmother when she tried to teach me to cook authentic Italian meals. Pear Jelly Belly's are my weakness. I love convenient store cappuccino. I'm better at darts after I've had a few drinks. I love hot air balloons and blimps... I tend to stare at them while I'm driving, which could be very dangerous. I like making mix cds, or generally just sharing the music I love. I absolutely love spending time with my brother and sister. I enjoy making people laugh, and when I laugh my eyes disappear. Movie Marathons are great.

Where the Sidewalk Ends, Forever, The Monster at the End of this Book. I haven't read a book in a really, really, really long time. -- I read magazines, blogs, journals, street signs, and anything else that I'm required to read for my safety.
