I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a graduate of Monmouth University and I studied Music and Elementary Education. I work at Home Depot. I live in Wanamassa with my awesome FIANCE!
I play saxophone and dabble in trumpet and flute. I've had lessons in french horn, trombone, and piano, so I can find my way around most horns. I'm really into ska, emo, reagge, and punk. I like everything including country and opera. i just love music in general. I used to be in The Dissenters for about nine months. I graduated a year late because I changed majors twice.

My Interests

Music, video games, flooring and window covering *haha*, my wedding...

I'd like to meet:

someone fun. someone spontaneous. someone happy. someone who will play on the playground with me. someone who will give me a penguin as a gift. someone who will come to concerts with me. someone who will come see concerts that i'm in. someone who will go to lame places with me. someone who will go to cool places with me. someone who will go to the park with me. someone who will go on long car trips with me. someone who will eat cheese out of the can. someone who will understand my sense of humor. someone who wants to jam. someone who will build a snow igloo with me. someone who can just hang out for hours and we won't even notice how long it's been. someone who will take a nap with me in the middle of the day. someone who will wake up early and watch the sunrise with me. someone who will want to do all of these things even if they can't... i don't really need to keep looking for this person though ;-)

Movies:

I like the ones that make you think, or that are just plain original. Some of my favorites are, Boondock Saints, Good Will Hunting, Memento, The Princess Bride, Fight Club, Interview with the Vampire, A Clockwork Orange, Big Fish, anything w/Bill Murray in it, and anything with Matt Damon in it.

Television:

House, Seinfeld, Scrubs, Carnivale on HBO was amazing... but it wasn't picked up for a third season :( I like Lost and I'm usually a sucker for late morning talk shows.

Books:

Eragon and Eldest, The Last Rune Series by Mark Anthony and books by Tim Dorsey. He really is one of the funniest authors I've ever read. Right now i'm reading book six in the last rune series... so when i'm done with it... it's all done :(

Heroes:

McCartney (musically... and i don't really eat meat anymore..) A few teachers I've had have left an impact on me, some good and some bad, but both ways helped me realize what I want to do.
