I've had OCD ever since I was a child. Having ADHD doesn't help either. Along came depression and so did the generalized anxiety. I've been compulsively skin picking the same thumb since I was five. I never knew my OCD was ever a problem, being so consumed with the obsessions and mind compulsions. Now I'm taking the initiative to have a firmer grip on my mind, thus my life, so I can do what I was born to do-- to make the world a more beautiful and colorful place through art, music, and fashion. Medication is helping for the most part, but I keep relapsing with the OCD. This pure-O is hard-O! Nonetheless, I will never stop trying to get better...

I love art and everything about it. I love fine dining, experimenting new vegetarian food, *music*, being goofy w/my crazy grls, traveling, lunching with my gfs, WINE, good reads, intelligent (aka sexy) folks, cooking, home decor, haute couture, anything SPICY, having an accomplished day, French, noodles, and then more noodles, singing a good song, dancing, partying, jalepenos, alone time, down-to-earth people, deep conversations, incense, my dog-Parmesan, interior design, TV, shopping, the color green, shin ramen, cool (not ghetto) tattoos, vintage everything, mod, retro, bohemian, ethnic, rockabily, peasant, new wave, prairie, urban, hippie, Indie, hobo, disco, Lolita, fresh kimchi, Barbie's, my best friends, good books, Food Network, eating, googling, sleeping in, video games, naked orange juice, award winning movies, Indie rock, creative writing. I, like most people, love the finer things in life~ However, I'll choose real substance over material any day-- in friends, in life, just in general...
