Industry	Education
Occupation	Daydreamer/ Wannabe Iconoclast
Location	Utopic Small Town, CA, United States
Introduction	I am very good at adapting to situations, whether they require that I be tough, demure, crass, authoritative, or girly. I constantly imagine my life as a musical, and often catch myself singing silly love songs. I have a flair for the dramatic, and thus, for better or worse, tend to attract drama queens. (This tendency has been a source for sensual adventures and tantalizing hilarity on the one hand, mind-boggling confusion and gut-wrenching heartbreak on the other.) To most I am cool and collected. To those I keep close to my heart I can be sticky sweet. But make no mistake: I'll also rip a guy a new one if he deserves it.
Interests	spending too much money on shoes, freaking myself out with ghost stories, getting mad at our government, kicking ass at Taboo, telling dirty jokes, making eye contact with cute boys, cyberstalking people, trying new things that end up getting me injured, singing in my car, going to church whilst a little bit drunk, bullshitting, teaching kids to say outlandish things, looking for good food, prank calling people in indecipherable accents, pretending I'm married to Jon Stewart, dancing dirty, figuring out how things work, feeling truly grateful for my friends and family
