I live in Jamesville with my boyfriend and our two kittens in a cute little house with a back deck, and a backyard big enough to play wiffleball.
I am the subscription coordinator for Making Music Magazine @ Bentley Hall, Inc., located in Historic Armory Square-Downtown Syracuse.Last fall I was the production coordinator on an independent movie...it was an interesting & awesome experience.
I like giving better than getting, I vote, (but to be honest, I'm really quite sick of the whole politics fiasco we've got going on) I'd love to eat all organic food, but I'm OK with the fact that it's impossible unless you're a crazy hippie. I enjoy MSG, grease, white bread and high fructose corn syrup every so often, does that make me less cool? Someday I want to own a coffee shop, sports bar and/or a gym, and I want to live in an old farmhouse with an old barn and lots of land. I am addicted to music. One day I will go to Europe, and one day I will have visited all 50 U.S. States. I miss being a kid and I don't think kids these days spend enough time playing outdoors. I like to create...just about anything. In another life I'd like to make electronic music, work in a museum, or be a librarian.
I am scared to grow up, but it's happening, and I'm actually happy about it. I like making collages, paintings and mixed CDs for people. I could go months without T.V. but an hour without music and I start getting tremors. I still don't know what I want to be when I "grow up." I'm not ashamed to shop at thrift stores, garage sales, or flea markets, in fact I prefer them.
In 2006, I spent an entire summer working in Southern California for 8 weeks and then went on a 5,677 mile road trip around the western US with one of my best friends. We went to 12 states in 17 days in a rented convertible and it was amazing. Truly one of the best experiences of my life, and although I miss it most days, I am beginning to feel very content here in the east (for a change). I plan on staying around central New York for now, but I definitely want to go back out west at some point to explore some more. Maybe for a week, a month, a year...who knows. But right here, right now, I am actually glad to say that all is happy here. Now I know what they mean when they say "never settle for anything less than butterflies."
