About Me

Check out my new website at www.stephengifforddesign.comWell, I'm a really laid back guy and enjoy dinners, movies, travel... :) I do a lot in the arts, theatre in particular. I'm working as a set designer for theatre and looking for work if anyone needs a designer.I'm from a small town in Missouri with a population of 4000. I moved to St. Louis, MO ("the big city" to people from my home town) when I was 20 to goto school and get away from home. Lived there for about six years. I decided to go back to school and got into NYU and lived there in NYC for four years. Graduated with a MFA from NYU in May of 2004. Just moved to LA to get away from the constant movement of NYC. (I miss it now.)I'm greatly in love with someone. So I have that covered.I'm a person that goes to work, comes home, makes dinner (for my babe if I'm lucky), makes desert, and goes to bed. There are usually a couple of glasses (or bottles) of wine in there too.

My Interests

Travel, food, wine, my bf, cooking, the internet, music, gardening, the outdoors, swimming, hiking, the beach, painting, NYC, LA, Vegas, France, Spain...

I'd like to meet:

People that have a passion for something, ones that genuinely care about others, have an interest in art and the arts, and people that are willing to work hard for what they want.

Music:

I will listen to about anything a person puts in front of me. I prefer music like Nina Simone, Classical, and European music. I just don't like country or Hip Hop. Some good stuff: Air, Bjork, Maria Callas, Garbage, Ben Hartt, Moby, Sade, Dolly Pardon, Tom Waits...

Television:

NBC Nightly News

Heroes:

I guess my parents because they are still able to love me even with all the shit I have put them through and continue to do. That maybe too cheesy. I usually don't put people on pedestals. I just respect anyone that gives more than what they receive and do not expect anything in return.

So, my babe is leaving me again. This time for a month, or so. Sometimes I wonder if it is that easy for him just to get up and leave me for a month. It doesn't make me feel good. Yeah, I'm leavin...

my moods

It's strange that you can become so close to someone that you actually start aquiring their mood. My bf's been sad and I get sad. I don't know if it's just sympathy, but it actually hurts me that...
