I'm a 24 year old trying to make it as a fiction author. I love everything that has to do with art, especially writing, painting, drawing, and photography. I currently live in San Diego, and like dancing in front of the mirror when no one is home.

My passion is ...

painting, and writing of course.

I know too much about ...

to pass the time and keep my mind going.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Jane Eyre/Project Runway/Journey

My first job ...

sucked.
