About Me


Myspace Layouts
I am a bubbly person. I have an excellent sense of humor. I play violin, piano, guitar, I sing, and I write music. I can't exactly tell you what the style is, but it's some combination of folk/jazz/blues/rock/alternative/??? I guess it could really be anything with then right instrumentation... My current challenge (to myself) is to write songs that are happy and NOT about love. Not that I don't like love songs...it's just hard to write happy sometimes, and I like a good challange. Just moved to Albuquerque, NM on May 6th, 2007. I have a job, but I find it less than super, so I need to find another job. PRONTO! Finding a band is equally as important. I went to school to be a radio news reporter, but that didn't pan out, so now I am just enjoying where the tides of life are taking me. I am very happy, because I married the yin to my yang on October 22, 2006. (He's the first person listed under friends. I convinced him to join. MWAHAHAHA!) I like marriage VERY much. The only drawback is that my new last name is Dworkin. To tell you the truth, I kind of miss my maiden name. It's hard living in a new town when I lived my whole life, up until now, within a 15 mile radius. I am going to miss everyone back home. Despite missing my hometown, I laugh a lot because life is beautiful!
