Alaggio

Is on the road

About Me

First off, Alaggio is my real name. Where did my parents come up with that one? They quite literally opened an Italian/English dictionary and started in the A section and stopped at what sounded cool...despite its strange english meaning.
I'm a VERY imaginative person. I can see undless wonders in everything from the Milky Way to a grain of sand. I dearly miss the world I saw as a child and I want nothing more than to continue seeing the world through child's eyes. Not to behave like one but to never take the little wonders in life for granted. Growing up has been a very bittersweet journey but one I value.
I'm currently on tour witht he National Tour of Oliver!. I didn't fall into the performing arts intentionally but I plan to finish up here and then hopefully start studying psychology at a normal university. Specifically I want to study the psychology of artists. I see art as any creative way we express ourselves no matter how unconventional it may seem. There is no right or wrong art but because art is subjective and we all percieve things differently, we individually are the judges of good and bad art. Whether it's singing, dancing, painting, acting, poetry, sports...I want to understand how people express themselves.
As for me: Pretty much if you're a friend on my MySpace then chances are that you already know me or will have the chance to in the near future. I'm simply Alaggio...which has a tendancy to become an adjective on its own.
Oooo...that sounds deep.
Okie Dokie!! So one of my favorite past times happens to be artwork. I wouldn't say that I was professional but I have sold some commissioned work. I prefer working with pencil but I have ventured into the relm of oilpaint and don't think I'm half bad. Well here's a bit of my portfolio...feel free to browse.
MyGen Profile Generator
You are a Gemini!
You somtimes have little faith in yourself, which you mask with ironic wit or sarcasm, but in truth you can use your flexible mind to better yourself in a surprising number of ways. You spend more time talking than eating, so you are able to stay fairly slim. Your flexible body enjoys agile sports: gymnastics, bicycling, swimming, and so on. Gemini talents include design, arts and crafts, magic and illusion, and music.
You are chameleon-like in your ability to blend in with your environment, yet you stand out like a beacon when you become the life of the party, with your witty remarks and seemingly limitless knowledge about all and sundry. Your memory is excellent. Geminians are described as the "perennial teenagers" as they always look younger than they really are. Their alert eyes are always full of humor, with a thin nose, upturned like a child's and a light gait with a long neck.
Your sexuality is, well, shall we say, fickle? Let's face it, you do blow hot and cold (sometimes even at the same time, a feat not easily appreciable by the non-Geminian...). You love adventure and intrigue and will take all manner of risks in the runaround involved with your urgent desire to avoid boredom. Ruled by Mercury, the god (among other things) of tricksters and thieves, you are far from straightforward and uncomplicated in the pursuit of your desires.
