I am personable, flighty, and pretty much bonkers.
My Self-Summary
I like to tell people I was raised by wolves. It's actually not
that far from the truth. My parents are loving people who are both
artists, and I was raised around theatre companies. No one sticks
together better than actors. See, wolves are pack animals, and I
was raised around lots of loving adults, including my parents.
Beyond that, I'm a little weird, sarcastic....I'm a
musician (read:
broke). I'm also a
barista with
Starbucks. Yeah, you
heard me right, I work for "the man." But the man gives me health
insurance. I also teach
basketball in an after school program
in
Chicago. It's a
lot more fun than it sounds.
What I’m doing with my life
Well, I just started performing my own stuff last year, so I'm not
making money on it right now. As I said above, I'm doing sports
(which is quite funny if you know me...the big dork that I am) and
I'm a weekend store clerk at a local wine shoppe. Who knows, maybe
you've come in here and seen me. All I know is from where I sit, I
see a gigantic bottle of Citadelle Gin.
I’m really good at
I'm not going to say music, because I think I still have a lot to
learn. I'm good at using humor as a defense mechanism, talking
circles around people, and I'm a pretty decent waitress. Oh wait,
and the one thing I'm the best at: flying below the radar. I mean
that in all aspects of life. It's a talent I noticed in college. I
was truly the
Ginny Weasley of my friends.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm really freakin'
tall with bright
red hair. After that, it's usually my
sense of
humor.

The six things I could never do without
Family, friends,

I spend a lot of time thinking about
A lot of stuff. My mind never seems to shut down. I think about my
friends and family, they're very important to me. Oh, and I spend a
lot of time thinking about what to write a song about next.
On a typical Friday night I am
Workin'. That is, until 9pm. After that, your guess is as good as
mine. Actually, I'll probably just go to bed since lately I've been
getting up at 3am to get to my other work on time.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I dye my hair, although everyone says it looks natural.
You should message me if
You can keep up with someone who talks a mile a minute.
