About Me

what to say about me...i love figuring out how things work (including people) and am constantly in my own head thinking, reminiscing, and analyzing. i'm a spiritual being but i'm not in to religion. don't claim any one belief system, they all have their good side and their bad side. i love getting to know people, but i'm very shy at first. i love asking people questions and having them ask me questions (any of my myspace friends know that i'm crazy about those surveys), there's pretty much nothing about myself that i won't share if asked. but usually people have to draw me out in order to get to know me. i love being silly and making a fool out of myself with people who aren't afraid to play. i'm falling in love with chicago and big city living. i'm a big dabbler, a bit of a pack rat. and music makes my world go round.
