About Me

This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

Hmmm...where to begin? If you disregard the fact that I am incredibly shy among a large group of people, can be needy and often take meaningless events/actions personally, I'm a pretty cool person who is fun to be around.

I have a concert photography site (concertmine.com) and I am currently interested in anything artistic, whether it be music, writing, photography, acting or painting. I've achieved all with some success. except for music, but I'm working on learning things on the piano.

Also, after recently stumbling across every video game system known to man at the thrift store (specifically the D.I.) I've begun playing video games, with many of them being the games I grew up playing. If anyone ever wants to challenge me or play the vast array of Nintendo games in my collection, don't hesitate to ask.

I tend to give people far too many chances when they've wronged me. I'm far too forgiving but I never forget. No matter how little something may be, I'll always remember you if you've wronged me.

You'll also notice that I tend to ramble, and there are a few specific topics that can get me talking for days. Just smack me on the back of the head if I begin to go on for too long.

And if you're reading this (or the blog) drop me an email or a comment. Let's get some communication going on!

My Interests

Crushing. In that I often have a ton of crushes. Essentially anything artistic. I'm getting into photography and drawing/painting lately, have acted in the past, and would love to learn how to play an instrument. I'm currently working on the keyboard and xylophone and would like to add the kalimba to my list. And did I mention that I am the curator (and lone photographer) for concertmine.com? I also enjoy writing, and getting to know people. I also figure I should mention that after finding a Nintendo last year, my love of video games has once again returned.

I'd like to meet:

People who promise to return email, people who want to exchange handwritten letters. People who write in their journals both in public and private. People who want to listen to me sing, and enjoy the comfort of a simple and quiet evening.

People who write in the blog section of their page and those who use correct punctuation, grammar and spelling. Where did capitalization go?

Oh. And someone who wants to sit down and play some old school Nintendo games with me isn't so bad either.


A note about the video below: I created this from video I shot at the A Very Palomino Christmas III party last December. If you were there, you may see yourself in it. I hope you like it. The song playing over the clips is Eisley's "The Winter Song."
