About me: I'm a a full-time art student, a photographer, a VIP hostess, a model, a film/videographer, and an EMT.
I've been on the web since 1998, and actively blogging since 2001. I hate the words blog and blogging yet, I've been at it for quite a while. I am also really into global travel, martial arts, snowboarding, my website, riding my stock blue '78 Vespa P200, MAC make-up, all kinds of music (a one-time DnB DJ), watching movies, and meeting new interesting people. I've sold Vespa scooters, skateboards, and snowboards. I've worked for a dot-com - as a graphic designer, they paid me Phat cash and then layed the whole company off. I've even worked for the California Department of Corrections. I helped pay the bills. They still buy balls & chains.
