About Me

Hello. If you are reading this, you probably already know me well enough, but here is what kind of person I am. But just in case you don't know, I like a lot of stuff. Other than reading, I really like fixing things, playing piano, computer gaming, and volunteering for activities. I love driving and car shopping (and I wish buying). One of my favorite things to do is hang out or call/email my friends. Check out my Blog for more info...

Music:

Well... I'm working on Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9, No. 1. It's quite challenging, but worth the work. Someday, I really want to learn some of Dvorák's Slavonic Dances for piano. I've just finished the first few pages of Schubert's Impromptu Op. 90, No. 3. It is currently my profile song. One of these days, it would be great to learn some Rachmaninoff too...
