About (request update)

I'm the most romantic tomboy you will ever meet. I love to play, and watch sports, I love watching action shoot'em up movies, and I will totally kick your butt at Madden. But I also love to dress up, go out and dance. I have a quirky since of humor, I'm laid back and chill, and flowers always make me melt.

Current Whereabouts:

I'm really good at movie trivia. I love film, from foriegn to cheesy karate flicks. I am completely obsessed with movies, there aren't many I haven't seen with the exception of the entire horror genre (I DON'T DO HORROR!). I am also an artist, I paint, sculpt, draw, and , most recently make t-shirts.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I am currently working at a high school as a paraeducator which means i'm a glorified tutor, lol. I get the perks of high school (spring break off, pretty much every holiday) without all the homework!
