About Me

I drink coffee with a straw. I like people watching. I like to chill out on my bed listening to good music, usually jazz. I listen to indie rock and classical music when I drive. I love to drive at night. I like everything more at night. I think I'm even smarter at night. I'm agoraphobic. I get nervous when there are too many people around. Social events make me nervous but you'd never know with my friendly facade. I'm nocturnal but my job does not allow me to live this life. I'm a foodie/epicurian for life. I like to cook and eat well. I like trying out new restaurants. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is where its at. I try to go at least once a month. My life pretty much revolves around food and music. I teach music. I make music and I most certainly listen to music. And oh yes, I eat daily.
