>br />Hello everyone! Welcome to my little space on the Net, along with thousands of others! I'm 24 years old and I'm quite small for my age. I've lived in St. Petersburg, FL all of my life. I'm a proud pianist and organist, although four years ago was the first time I'd ever touched a keyboard in my life. Since then, I've hit the ground running, I think, and am enjoying myself more than ever. I play in the Spirit Sound band at Christ Lutheran Church, and I'm an ATOS and AGO member. I also meet with a group of other adult pianists just for fun and inspiration. I enjoy playing at nursing homes because it's fun for the residents and fun for me. I love my life because I am a musician. Before I started playing, I was a very dry soul. Two years ago, I temporarily moved to Winter Park to study at Full Sail Real World Education. I graduated from Full Sail in 2005 with a degree in Recording Arts. I'm quite interested in the art of sound design and studio recording, and this may be a career option for me. I'm now attending St. Petersburg College in order to earn a Bachelor's Degree in education. I could become a music teacher or a special education teacher. I am not sure what type of job would be ideal for me yet, but I have a number of things that I'd like to do before my life is over. This degree will give me more options, and more room to "swim around" so to speak. Other interesting things about me: I had a pet chicken as a child. I speak fluent Spanish as a second language and have been to Spain with a class several years ago. I'm an only child, so to speak. I have 3 half-syblings that no longer live with me. I have about half the sight that the general population does (can't just fix it with glasses), but don't worry. I've had this condition since birth and so I don't feel like I'm missing much. Sometimes I think that much of our society is missing out on tuning in to the sights in their own soul. I am a strong swimmer, although I just do it for fun. I roller-bladed and climbed trees as a child, although I never learned to ride a bike because of balance and coordination that I'm not capable of. My parents still drive a '55 Chevrolet as their every-day vehicle. Let's see, what else? I could care less about going with the crowd when it comes to fashion. I'm not into a lot of the silly hipe that a lot of folks my age get nto, but I do like to socialize. I'm just a bit of an odd duck, that's all.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Somebody sincere, intellectual funny, all around, who loves life as much as I do.
