Dislikes - Meat; Arguing with people who believe they're always right; mainstream bands that play "punk" sounding music and call themselves "punk, and those music fans (me? bitter? noooo); Teenyboppers; People who think being "punk" is just about a look; closed minded people; people who give me weird looks because of the way I look, act, etc; people who judge me before they know me

Likes - Guys, Having Adventures and misadventures with my friends, Going to concerts, oh boy do I love concerts, music, driving (driving 30!), my car, DG, My doggie, theater, and everything

First Show - Total blast. The first punk band I saw was Home Grown. They opened for MxPx, who opened for Blink 182. This was in 1998 (*GASP*! There WAS life before "Whats My Age Again"!). It was an awesome concert, definitely one of my favs. The sets were great, all of the bands got the crowd into the music and stuff.

One of My Best Memories at a Show - wow. i've seen over 100 bands... here are my 2 fav memories. One started out as a terrible day. In a nutshell, my mom and I flew to San Diego and I caught New Found Glory's show. While sorting out a big mess, I met NFG's families who are VERY nice; Ians dad introduced me to most of the band as "Chicago Girl". After the show we chatted with Ians dad (who insisted I call him Handsome Don), and regaled us with tales of the boys. Later he convinced me to go say hi to Mark Hoppus who was there too. Everyone at that show was too awesome for words. My other favorite memory happened a week later back in Chicago. Jillian & I went to an Anti-Flag show and it was great fun. I was incredibly enlightened. The unity in the air was amazing. The music was great. After the show we said hi to the band and chatted with all of them.

One of My Best Memories at My Favorite Band's Show - Ok, I guess my fav is Anti-Flag. Tons of great things happened at the 2nd show we saw. I think the funniest thing was when me and Jillian met Chris Head and didnt even know it. haha.... i guess you had to be there

Secret Crush - Well first of all if you dont know by know, you're either really dumb or just not talking to the right people (haha). Oh yeah... and Jason Lee. Jason Mewes? yeah. John Cusack. ELOY!!! lol Pat and Karl...??? Nah. Oops.

Interests - Sleep. Psychology. I love being onstage acting or singing. I love being in the audience watching a band. Hanging out with Friends.

Biggest Regret - thats something for me only

I knew I wanted to be a punk rocker when... - Hello!! I was born with the most bitchin mohawk ever

Favorite Food - Italian food, anything w/o meat

I hate it when... Kids from my school are like "I like punk too, just like you!" and im like "oh really, like what bands?" and theyre like "ohh you know, Blink 182, Sum 41, ..."

In my opinion, Punk is - doing what you want, whenyou want as long as what you do doesn't hurt yourself or others

What I think the future holds for me - All I'm asking for is a REALLY big house, where every room has a different color theme and theres a concert venue in the back, and theres got to be at least one room with Water Walls. My room will consist of a really big bed, a pool table, a foosball table, a big tv complete with DVD, VCR, cable, and a bunch of jeaopardy video games, a fridge, a microwave, an oven, a stove, a few couches (leather), ping pong table... basically i want my future room to be like mark's basement :) and i want to be a psychologist.
Thank you.

GEEZO MY BEEZO!

Parl at Karty's!

Cmon baby, lets ride

Whose house? Runs house!

No touchy...

One day i was watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire (or Dexters Labratory, TV), and well... Did you ever think that Regis Philbin (or Dexter, Harry Potter) was kind of hot?

"Hey, I wonder if Penelope, the girl who played Phoebe, is a descendent of an Italian lunatic."

"This is an "A" & "B" conversation, so "C" your way out!"
