About Me:

I am a laid back kid who wants to get all she can out of life. I have always beed interested in animation, and I have never wanted anything more than to see my own characters live. I am kind of a punk rocker, but a child at heart. I enjoy simple pleasures in life such as a glass of Coca-Cola on a summer afternoon. I have many interests! Art, animation, music, movies, making films, sewing, fashion, traveling, coffee, BOYS, philosophy, pugs, video games, and punk and emo anything! I feel like a pinata. Won't you take a swing at me? If you could just crack the shell open, I think inside you would find something sweet.
