About Me

A while back I had a johari window done. It's this thing where you pick out adjectives to describe yourself and then ask your friends to do the same (about you that is) and it shows you where you and those close to you overlap or how others see you differently than you see yourself. So, of course, other than being completely self-absorbed =), I'm also silly, independent, intelligent, and I think nice was another one (although not sure where that came from). I just like having fun. I think the definition of adulthood should be something "big kids who earn salaries instead of allowances", or something like that. I'm really happy right now. For sure, I'll morph into a crotchety old woman of 25 when the cold weather hits, but for now, who cares... Happiness. That's it. Update: Now that's it's officially winter, I'm crotchety (but still happy).

My Interests

Music, dancing, wine, movies, rugby, attempting to run, quirks, improv comedy, and regular improv that's just not always funny, playing outside in nice weather (frisbee, softball), music - not a snob about it, though. I don't have a large music collection whatsoever, I just retain lyrics really easily...

I'd like to meet:

I would really like to meet people who create rogue profiles of musicians so that they might teach me how to do that and then I can have all the bestest songs on my rogue musician's page. Oooh - it wouldn't even be just one musician. It'd be a melange of musicians so that all four songs would be from a different artist. I think it'd be something like, "Justin Houstin Brown Gaye" Yeah. So, that's who I'd like to meet - the people who will show me how to be all stealth like up in this myspace shiznat.
