About me: i'm just a girl.......yeah that old line. no but really, i am. i trained to be an audio engineer and my passion is MUZAK. when i grown up i would like to be a general superstar, without the pesky side effects of people actually looking at me or discussing how fat/thin/shitfaced/mentally unstable i am on the front cover of heat/national enquirer/perezhilton.
i'm a travel junkie....

.....and i'm an aquarian which apparantly means i'm a humanitarian, friendly, honest & loyal, original & inventive and independent & intellectual. makes me sound pretty good so i'm sticking with it. and the less said about the dark points the better eh.

Myspace Cursors
Who I'd like to meet: people who inspire me.
people who make me want to go make music.
people who can totally change my mind about something, or at least get me to think twice about it.
people who LIVE to travel.
people who know who they are or want to find out.
beautiful people cos i'm shallow like that. but my definition of beauty may well not be yours.
people who remember to stop and close their eyes when the sun comes out - it may sound cheesy but godammit these things matter i tell you :)
people who are random as FUCK and generally ensure that they laugh their asses off on a daily basis.
oh and eliza dushku.
and sarah shahi.
maybe even at the same time.
