About Me

What's my story? My story hasn't been written.

My Interests

Theatre, cooking, film, magic, playing/singing music. nature, stage combat, graphic design,

People. Yeah, really, it's just that. I like meeting all sorts of new people. I particularly enjoy positive people and people who live their life instead of letting life happen around them.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

EVERYTHING. Highlights/Guilty Pleasures include movie soundtracks, some Broadway, Billy Joel, Kenny Loggins, Meat Loaf, the Beatles, The October, Michael Buble, a lot of Jazz and Blues, Classical music, Classic Rock...yeah, I've got a really weird taste, but a lot of music that I like is significant to me for one reason or another.
