Heroes
Dave - my best friend for 8 years running. Also fellow 2 pianos buddy, passionflower buddy, fellow beach-bummer and to-be-millionaire. A person very very dear to my <3. His hobbies include sleeping, talking math, listening to Kissin (the pianist, not the noise..lol), and shooting (cue to run away!). He's not really that homie, it's just one of his moments... =)
Nathan - the pic says it all. He's a chain smoking-crazy-cat-in-the-hat! the first time he met me, he thought i was a bitch. The first time i saw him, i thought he was a homeless gangster! BWAH HA! He likes sleeping with toy camels, spiks like fob-la (when I request him to. . and ensures I will be in tears after a session with dennis) but busts the best moves on the dance floor =)
Sam - blonde, blonde and bloody good at tae kwon do. She'll kick your butt if you dare touch me! The 2nd member of charlie's angels, someone's gotta do the work and it's definitely not me, so miss tkd, you do your shat!
Sam-I-Am - that's right! The guy who's all religious in this picture! LOL! Sam will crack anyone up. He's NOT indonesian so don't get it mixed up or he'll get angry. A fellow pianist, he loves his piano and is building up a great cd collection (of REAL CDs might i add, not dodgy pirated ones unlike SOME PEOPLE! LOL).
Elise - 3rd member of charlie's angels. You'll find her in the water most of the time! Went to school together since Yr 7. Gotta love band camp girl! Elise was part of a flute quartet! =)
Dean- wicka wicka DJ! He's my homie, busting those songs! He likes sleeping under my piano cuddling teddy bears. He's really cool, trust meeee =)
Red-Shoes - even though I've attempted to click my heels 3 times, it hasn't taken me anywhere. *sigh* They are however the most comfortable shoes for clubbing, dressing up and are so hot de trot the floor sets on fire! whoaaa, HOT!
Janet - is little miss puny, my muso-girl bestie! We've shared oh so many music moments, shared the same teacher for a while and together, we = too many blonde moments. PPMC forever girl!!! =)
Arfa - she's my clubbing girl and fellow 4 unit maths buddy (until I dropped out and became my 3 unit maths buddy! LOL). Loves to dance and we PUT OUR HANDS UP FOR DETROIT! A LOVELY CITY!!! WOOOTTTT! She works at Scooter and I hate her for that, but then i love her again coz she gets me huge discounts. YAY! She lives in a mansion and owns a pet galah. how awesome is that?!
Ann - ahhh my adeladian lady! met back at PPMC 04 (i think?) and oh so many fun times. Those Common Room truth & dare session were the shat! she's funkadelic, loves Britney Spears (don't we all deep down...ahah), plays the piano and i wish she was in sydney with the cool musos (because she is oh so cool and belongs with the gang!!!) miss u girlfriend!
Max - this little munchkin of mine is so adorable. He's going to be famous, because he's starring in Australia's Got Talent! Yep! That's right ladies & gents, he MAY look . . . . (let's not go there with the blowfish and all) but he will dazzle you with his fingers on the keys! We all have to vote for him! HE also needs to come to Sydney and join the musos-all-stars coz he's a born-gorgeous-star!
Aprille - my law bestie. Sorry it's taken me this long to put u up on my heroes list. You FINALLY gave me a pic :-) Met Aprille in 2006 when we both started law at Clubmac. She is extremely reliable and talks me up in class when i'm away on my trips, covering my back :-) She's the littlest thing you'll find, aspiring to be a model/lawyer.

I haven't updated Myspace in oh so long so here goes. I've kept a bit of the old, throw in a bit of the new to spice things up a bit and voila! 21 year old V-A! Apart from the obvious love for the piano, I love writing and if you want to check out how much i've blogged since 2005, check out my original space which is: http://spaces.msn.com/misspianosocialite
I make sure I surround myself with beautiful talented people because we thrive off each other. Love to have a good yarn and a good party here and there, but good company is the best thing you could have. If anyone can make summer sensation cocktails, I'm your best friend for the night ;-)I live life to the fullest and make the most of everything I have around me!
