I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I update this like once a year, I need to put something here that's timeless.Well, I'm a (movie)geek. I love the Drafthouse, going to shows, hanging out with friends. I have a marginally awesome dog who is getting more awesome all the time. She knows how to high five now, I'm not making that up. Although I'm not totally sure it's called a "high five" if a dog does it. I work at a library, I really like it. It's boring at times but I work with some great people and it makes the day go by fast. I like music a lot too, I'm 60& movie geek, 30% music geek and the remaining 10% is just a big stew of things you made fun of people for in high school.

If I'm home, I'm on AIM, let's talk. AIM = m1yazaki.
