About Me

I do things, like play my electric bass, ride horses, draw excessivly, paint, sew, design costumes, read and write stuff, archery, i like hiking and biking as well. It's like i'm a mary maid of constant activity. I graduated college, and now i'm up a creek without a paddle.When i'm old i plan on sitting on a porch in the mountains in an old rocking chair. there i shall wave my cane or shotgun depending on my mood and who is passing by at the time.
You Are Viking/Folk Metal! The most open minded of all metal genres. You have
no problem with breaking down in the middle of
a song with a Xylophone Solo if the song calls
for it. You also usually incorporate more than
one vocal style in your music, which makes for
a good change every once in a while.

What Type Of Metal Are You?
brought to you by QuizillaI keep asking myself "why?" as in "why the hell did I leave Europe?" and "why the hell can't i live there?" Europe Pics

My Interests

music, art, horses, costuming, photography, reading, writing, archery, hanging out with my buddies at home or at school. Experiencing as much as possible in life.

I'd like to meet:

your mom

Music:

i am a sort of jukebox of taste, i like a lot of stuff. Thanks to my dad i enjoy those horrible genres of music known as folk and blue grass, thanks to my mom I enjoy the Beatles, Rolling Stones and other classic rockers, thanks to both i love classical music, especially well played cello and violin solos (my favorite are ones by Vivaldi). And thanks to myself and my boyfriend i like metal, especially European metal. I had liked techno for awhile, but as predicted, i outgrew that. I like Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom, Opeth In Flames is one i love madly, though I dislike their newest albulm(s), oh man, and Dimmu Borgir, i can't even begin to describe how incredibly awesome their vocalist is. Amon Amarth, Ensiferum, Finntroll, viking metal you know, the good stuff...listing bands gets tiring and I think it's a bit silly.Though I will say that I like Flogging Molly quite a lot too, they're a lot of fun, and what with spending much of my childhood following my big brother around to highland games and parades (he was in a bagpipe band) I have a rabid craving for celtic music. In fact it's spread to a lot of European folk music.

Movies:

SKittles!

Television:

Dentures!

Books:

Pot holes! :(

Heroes:

People who respect people, even if they completely disagree with another's beliefs.
