WORST PET

Roxy, my bearded dragon from middle school. I did not socialize her well enough so anytime I let her roam around to exercise I would have to wear gloves to put her back because she would hiss and bite.

HOBBY

House plants. I have over half a dozen propagations of a philodendron; a 5+ year old pothos vine grown from my fiancé's original 10+ year old plant; 2 peace lilies; 1 BIG money tree; 1 bonsai ginseng ficus; several lucky bamboo shoots; an azalea bush; a rose bush; Madagascar jewel plants; baby rubber plants; a Christmas cactus; LARGE aloe vera plants; snake plants; spider plants; purple heart plants; a variety of cacti; and a variety of other succulents. The latest addition is a plumeria cutting my sister brought me when she visited Hawaii.

MUSIC PREFERENCE: CDs

I have a small collection of close to 100 albums. Lots of Gorillaz, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Jack Johnson, and Kings of Leon. There is a whole spectrum of genres...but I do not listen to country.
