I realize I haven't had time to post recently despite my promise to try and do so regularly. My apologizes, college is hard folks! So in my (little late) post today I would like to properly introduce myself to you, the internet and its people. So here...we...go!!!
If you ask anyone who truly knows me, one of the first traits they would list about me is my sassiness. It's a burden and a blessing let me tell you. I like to think of myself as an honest person and I generally don't respect others who don't try to be the same. However, accompanying my sassafrass is my biting sarcasm (thanks Mom and Dad). So, even though I say I try to be honest, you should always be wary that I might simply be pulling your leg for my own amusement...sue me.
Moving on, my largest claim to nerdiness in my life is when it comes to theatre (yes, I'm one of the obnoxious people who spell it that way). Ask me about almost any musical and a few plays, I'm trying to expand my knowledge of those, and I can rant on for hours about the background, themes, and even sing the show for you. I get visibly excited when anyone brings up musicals and it can sometimes be embarrassing. Some of my favorite musicals that I've seen are: Wicked (obviously); Promises, Promises; In the Heights; The Addams Family; and American Idiot. Some of the musicals I've been in: Little Shop of Horrors, Crystal; The Drowsy Chaperone, Mrs. Tottendale; Beauty and The Beast, Belle.
Related to my musical obsession is the fact that I sing: All. The. Time. Really, I'm not kidding. I'm singing while I write this even (Sara Bareilles songs are my jam). Singing is just something I do in every situation. It compliments a happy mood, it either makes better or emphasizes a bad mood, and there is nothing better to do when you're sad than sing a powerful ballad. One of my little known talents is that I can associate almost any line of dialogue to a song. It's a gift, what can I say.
Traveling is also a huge part of my life. I was fortunate enough to live in Nagoya, Japan for three years when I was younger. I have since traveled to Australia, Italy, Guam, and Saipan among many cities within the U.S. I always find other cultures fascinating and I have never understood people who have no desire to see the outside world. My ideal next travel location is either India or England (all donations are greatly appreciated, just saying).
Ok, I feel like I've ranted on about myself enough. I hope you've enjoyed your trip to the inner mind of Tori Townsend, please visit the souvenir shop on the way out.
XOXO
Toto
