  • Artist Info: Hey i'm nikki and i will tell you right away that one of my greatest loves is theater, i cant get enough of it and it's in my blood. but i wont get into that. there are a lot of things about me that most dont know and i like to keep it that way. my favorite musical right now is Wicked because it's a lot like the story of me and my best friend kristen (ironic i know) she's galinda in so many ways yes she is bouncy and hyper and she loves to give everyone a nickname that ends in kins like nikki kins. i am like elphie sarcastic, dreamer, wants to do the right thing but winds up hurting someone in the end, knows that i have a special gift and i want to use it and harness it to the point of shear greatness. i'm not saying i'm the greatest person in the world like some would think that i'm boasting and shoving things in others faces and my head is big no i'm modest about who i am but i think that i do posses something great within me and nobody is ever gonna take that away like elphie says<br />
    "And nobody in all of Oz no wizard that there is or was is ever gonna bring me down!" i will have my chance to fly and i dont need a man to do it never have and never will. anyone who is looking for a date from me better turn the other way cause this year i plan on being by myself and finding how i'm going to make my dreams come true and there is nothing that anyone can say or do to take that away from me. to those of you who think i'm a self obsorbed mirror queen bitch can go fuck themselves cause i'm not that and i will never be that. i know all of this is a lot to look at and comprehend what i'm talking about but there is one person who will look at this and realize i'm not backing down and i can do this no matter what they think. i'm through dedicating my time and effert to make someone else happy at the expense of my dreams (except for kristen, i would much rather have her get her dream and be happy than be the successful one and i dont exactly know why that is but i'm happiest when my mau-chen is happy and everything is going great for her i guess thats the whole big sister thing)<br />
    <br />
    look out world here i come and nothing is gonna stand in my way!<br />
