About Me

I completed my MM in music performance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music May 2002. Although I have been on hiatus from performing on the bassoon, I have begun to play and practice again. Recently I began classes at the School of Library and Information Science at San José State University to complete coursework for an MLIS degree (have been a paraprofessional library cataloger for quite some time now).

I'm also an avid LiveJournal-er. Ask me for the URL if you'd like to read my writings.

My Interests

OS X, information technology, Macs, vegetarianism, healthy living, travel, fine dining, cooking, road trips, local color, power pc, LiveJournal, California, history, Berkeley, San Francisco, San José, Pacific Northwest, writing, pen pals

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for people who revel in the mysterious, the different, even the defiant. I seek people who are not afraid of the bizzare and unconventional. Most of all, those who are respectful, compassionate and loyal are those who I want in my life.
