My Interests

I love comedy so I'm part of the Comedy Improv team at school. I like watching Monty Python's Flying Circus, Whose line is it anyway, The Daily show and SNL whenever I have time because I love a good laugh. What else is there... well, I like rollerblading, I dont do any tricks because I'm a clutz so this would mean certain death : ), so I blade for speed, which is still a danger because Ive been known to wipeout while going downhill! I really like reading, but I dont like libraries because there's never anywhere really comfy to read so my visits there are short. I also like to draw, Ive been working at drawing portraits, which is not something I'm particularly good at right now but I'm getting better. I really really like listening to and making music, I play the piano, the drums and a little guitar, and I always jump at the chance to fool around with new instruments, so far I've played around with a cello, recorder, bass, saxophone, and a bass clarinet, right now I'm hoping to get hold of a banjo, crazy huh?!?!.

I'd like to meet:

YOU! :D

I LOVE *the Beatles*, (George is my favorite!!), Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Phil Ochs, Donovan, Martin Carthy, and *Woody Guthrie*.
