I still need my tropical vacation...

About Me

Music, music, music. From me: button-pushing, knob-twiddling, slider-pulling, vocal warbling. Beyond music, friends could probably describe me better. I think I'm a mix of earnest, silly and nerdy, with strong opinions I try not to stay myopically or egotistically attached to. I'm not much for vapid small-talk, have loads of energy and passion for living, and love to be out in the world getting into mischief and conjuring up new adventures.

Your Brain's Pattern
You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.
You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts.
People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused.
But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination. ..

My Interests

Music, visual arts and museum/gallery haunting, dancing (one of my all time fave activities), film, novels, poetry, logophilia, Italia, global culture, snorkeling in barrier reefs, sewing, delicious food, waffles, grits, string instruments, shiny things, and riding my bike all over Berlin

I'd like to meet:

Negative, shady, manipulative people, headcases and liars: run, run, run like the wind, away from me! I only want to meet joyful, honest, thoughtful, kind, generous people at this point. If this is you, when you see me, come say hello!And, anyone with a digital camera who wants to volunteer to take a picture of me so I have more than one up here, please feel free.
