I'm Vivianna Arroyo, 30, i'm originally from Southern California, but could not handle the heat so I moved to San Francisco, California in 2000. I am getting ready to move to New York City later this year (2012.) I have amazing friends who have been the best support system a girl could ask for. I love tattoos (I have 17), iced coffee, candy, knitting, reading fiction books, the moonwalk, and my purple hoodie. You will find all kinds of amazing sad indie music in my iTunes and rap music. Most of the time you will find me riding my bike taking photos of everything from my city to the clothes on by back.
