About me: Blogs daily for LAWeekly.com, mostly about music and events in LA. Writes print pieces for LA Weekly, Club World, Outburn and Razorcake.Is on a huge manga kick, most notably Nana, which every music-obsessed girl should read. Thinks Marc Almond is the mighty wit of pop music. Believes that you are never too old to love dolls and toys or watch cartoons. Despises hot weather, driving and summer clothing, despite being a native of Los Angeles.

You are Arthur Rimbaud - a vital, cannon-changing poet with a flare for tantrums. You tend to write in a fever, and have a liking for the disordered mind. Do't expect people to understand you, for you are ahead of your time.
I've been in the Valley for the past 6 months or so. You can see me up and down Reseda Blvd. in my red Pee Wee Herman-like bike every day! Last weekend I rode Ventura Blvd. all the way to Sherman Oaks!
