11 Random Facts:
- I began dancing ballet a year ago.
- I also recently began running and fell in love with that as well.
- I’m obsessed with Hello Kitty and once tried to start a Hello Kitty blog.
- Before starting Adult Ballerina Project, I ran a blog called A TV and A Girl about my obsession with TV. My friends make fun of the blog title and started calling me Avatar Girl.
- The only reason people ever ended up looking at that blog was because I did a video tutorial on how to do Quinn’s braid from Glee. It got a surprising amount of hits on YouTube for how crappy the quality was.
- I don’t have cable and instead I watch almost everything on Netflix. I just finished Fringe, I’m trying to finish up Bones.
- When I do watch TV, I watch Scandal using my crappy TV antenna.
- I have super flat feet which has caused a lot of shin splints during both ballet and running.
- I’d be lost without my foam roller and compression socks.
- I’m working on doing more freelance writing now that I’ve graduated.
- I also love turtles.
