Alphabetizing stuff, crossing off that thing that I've been putting off, fake dr pepper cans, etc, kitsch, messing with people who take themselves too seriously, mock serious dancing, music music music (wish I was more well-rounded), sleeping, talking to little kids like they're adults, three year old seeing Disneyland for the first time, thrifting, writing...

California State University-Northridge
Northridge,California
Graduated: 1993
Student status: Alumni
Degree: Bachelor's Degree
Major: RTVF Radio TV Film
Clubs: 3.5 years of folks never having heard of Northridge and then I missed the quake by 2 weeks. No fair!
About me: Don't drink, don't smoke. What do I do? Busybusy looking for a job (got any good leads?), being in a band (Rookie Card), the occasional side project (Cover Me Badd) and oh so much more. I actually started DJ'ing locally as No Cheesy Party DJs San Diego and set up a free nationwide directory for cool DJ's, bands and party/wedding vendors. Let me know if you know anyone in the US that should be on it or just go to No Cheesy Party Bands and poke around. I am lucky enough to know and meet a lot of really great people and then forget their names....a lot.
Who I'd like to meet: People who aren't too cool to get excited. People who love laughing at people who get too excited. It's a fine line, folks. Walk it. WALK IT!
My top friends are sponsored by the alphabet and people with short profile names.
