About Me

I've pretty much split my life between Arkansas and New York and I feel like that keeps me balanced. I currently live in Brooklyn with my boyfriend, Tim We have a tiny apartment with a tiny kitchen...We like to cook anyway.I am in grad school for Historic Preservation at Pratt. I love it, but I am looking foward to whatever comes next!Someday I will proably go back to Arkansas. I crave the country when I am not there like I crave NYC when I'm not here.www.xanga.com/svnorton

My Interests

GRADUATING!!!! SPRINGTIME!!!! Cooking, eating, eggplant, honey, coffee, honey in coffee, cold press coffee, my new french press, old buildings, building research, terra cotta, museums, reading, ginko trees, climbing, camping, hiking, biking (which I don't get to do enough), knitting, happy hours that feature $1 Champagne of Beers, bartenders that look like Anthony Hopkins, cheese, anything baked, daffodils, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, agua con gas, sweet tea, BBQ (the real kinds, not what New Yorkers call meat grilled outdoors), cheese dip. And of course-my family and my friends.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I'm really bad about actively seek out new music. I am very nostalgic about music so I am happy listening to something...forgetting about it for a while...and then rediscovering it and enjoying the way it makes me feel and think about the way I felt the last time I listened to it. But I always love this gal!

Movies:

Yep.

Television:

I NOW have a tv..on longterm loan (thanks, Johnny). But, I don't have cable. So, I still rent seasons of HBO shows and watch them in marathon fashion...is there any other way?

Books:

Leisure time reading is good. I look forward to doing a lot someday.

Heroes:
