I love music, both playing and listening to it. I like reading, I can never read enough. I like writing, but I suck and never have time. I like the aura behind absinthe, wine and Guinness. I like antiquing w/my husband. I also like spending time with the few friends that I have, although that's hard 'cuz most of 'em are down home...

The president of my fanclub, Remus Lupin, Cesar Millan, and Gordan Ramsay.

I'm in the DeWitt Community Band, and have played with the EL Kiwanis Band and EL Caravan Pick-Up Band. I used to be in the concert/campus orchestra when I was @ MSU. I usually play 2nd clarinet, but will play 1st if necessary. I've also been known to hit the bass drum when the band's in a pinch. ;)
Without music I wouldn't live, I'd merely exist.
