Always learning new things... a project oriented person. I love to work on mechanical things. Because of my major, I spend a lot of time designing and constructing new ideas. I do alot of home improvement for my self as well as friends. I love to cook lots of yummy, southern, italian, mexican, and all kinds of food. I spend a lot of time just being around my friends and having fun. Just a few of my favorite architects: Sagrada Familia - Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona; Millennium Park Amphitheater - Frank Gehry, Chicago
Generally, a person who can hold an intelligent conversation... I can be easily annoyed by stupidity. Specifically, anyone who is interested in getting to know me, has some interesting qualities about themselves.I am a laid back person, so high-strung drama magnets tend to scare me into the shadows. ***BELOW--my long-time friend Nic Mathis's art***

I like movies... especially if they are on cable. I don't go to theaters too often, maybe for a date with my husband or with a friend... but only if an interesting looking film is out. Some of my favorite movies.... The Big Lebowski, Office Space, My Own Private ID, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, the Royal Tennenbaums, American Beauty, Scarface, Taxi Driver, Friday, 12 Monkeys, Adaptation, Bamboozled, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book, show, and movie... all good), Frida, PI, The Princess Bride, The Dark Crystal.
Basically, if I watch, I'm watching a travel show, a documentary, or cartoons... the Simpsons, of course, but also like some AdultSwim shows. ATHF, Sealab 2021, Family Guy, Futurama, also old T&J and Looney tunes. Not really fond of reality/sureality type shows.

There are a lot of people in my life that I look up to and respect. I couldn't imagine trying to single them out. Many of them are artists, musician, writers, architects, family members, and friends. Any of them might be especially kind or loyal, particularly ingenious, loving, or ambitious. These are qualities I strive for, so I look up to those who might already posess them.
