I'd rather add something descriptive of my site.

Looking at the source of your main page:
<meta name="description" content="" />
Might help to start there.

You should fill in the meta tag 'description' for your homepage. Right now it is blank. You'll find it in the header.php file.
I see you have meta tags for keywords in your single post pages. To add a description meta tag to those pages you could add
<?php if ( is_single()) { ?><meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt_rss(); " /><?php } ?>
to your header.php file. This will give you better descriptions for your single post pages. For your home or category pages you could add more conditional tags, for example:
<?php if ( is_home()) { ?>
<meta name="description" content="YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE" />
<?php } ?>
and so on for category pages, etc...

Or...
With K2, the line in your template will probably be, by default:
<meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
So try adding something to the Tagline field under Options > General.

You are using the K2 theme. In the Header template (header.php), you would typically find this line:
<meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
If you do, it means it is collecting the description (tagline) from your blog and outputting that for your description meta tag. And the tagline can be edited under Options > General in your WordPress admin.

I have this same issue. I want to change my Google search descprition that says "DJ Elle. © Worship Worthy Theme based on Benevolence by Theron Parlin. Syndicate this site using RSS - The latest comments to all posts in RSS ..."
How did "DJ Elle" get in there? Can someone tell me how to change this? I have a tagline in my OPTIONS>General setting but it's not workng.
1. Follow the advice by Kafkaesqui and remove that line from your header.php if there.
2. Get another_wordpress_meta_plugin or similar and add meta tags to all your posts/pages.

Is there a way to just amend what's already there? I have a meta plugin but there's nowhere to write a description except where I already have one in the OPTIONS>tagline section. Here is what my header says right now:
<?php if ( is_home()) { ?>
<meta name="description" content="Downtown New York's female authored lifestyle, events, art, fashion, and streetwear blog." />
<?php } ?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
</style>
