Age? Just turned 25.
Location? Phoenix AZ, the valley of the sun, where the heat beats you like a drunken step-father.

Are you in a band? No, but one of my best friends and I are gonna start a band. I'm gonna play the kazoo, and the harmonica. :0P

Top Five Favorite Albums of All Time? Zoinks….this is always tough, so what I'll do, is I'll pick the albums that were most influential in changing my musical tastes. Anyway here goes: Social Distortion - Mommy's Little Monster; Bad Religion - Suffer (actually it's No Control, but you have to say Suffer if you wanna keep your friends); Face to Face - Don't Turn Away; The Pixies - Death To The Pixies (it's a "best of," but it has all my favorites, PLUS, a live album to boot); and The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands.
Do You Have A Makeout Club Profile? Why or why not? No, I don't have a MOC profile. Mostly because I don't think I'm cool enough to even have a profile there. I mean, I've never seen any of the guys' profiles, but judging from the girls, who are all oh-so hot, I just don't think I'd rank....but, after reading Seventeen magazine's article, "Am I Emo?," I think I may go and create a profile on MOC, right after I get back from Hot Topic.
First show/concert This wasn't technically my "first" show, because I'd been dragged to a couple of shows by my folks more than once, but it's the first show that I wanted to see. My dad took me to go see LA Guns/Faster Pussycat/Lita Ford/ and Motley Crue. It was awesome. I got the whole experience; fights, marijuana smoke, girls flashing their goods, a mosh pit, mullets, and dad bought me a concert tee. Very cool.
Favorite show/concert of all time? This changes probably everytime I see a totally awesome show. But the last really really awesome show that I saw was Rancid/NOFX, at the House of Blues in Las Vegas. They did a small tour in support of their split CD, and they also brought, The Real Mackenzies and the Distillers. It was so fuckin tight.
Favorite Drink? Beer, I like amber beers the best.
If you were stranded on a desert island, without food, with the staff of Bettawreckonize, who would you eat first? Mexican is one of my favorite foods, so I'd probably eat Michelle.
