Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town?

About Me

I study music. Bassoon music. I'm just your average 20-something, black, female bassoonist from brooklyn, trying to figure out life on the streets of San Francisco. I daydream. I like smiles and hugs. I tell jokes and sometimes I'm the only one laughing. (BUT I DON'T CARE!) I consider myself a bit of a dork and I'm ok with that. I quote movies sometimes. I love my family and friends. I think my mother and siblings are the coolest people alive. I shy away from pickles, mushrooms, most squishy vegetables, feet, and solicitors. I'm easily distracted by shiny things. I am optimistic but I also worry a lot. I still believe in God, love, that everything has a purpose, and that people can change. sometimes when I'm in a toy store, I like to push all of the "squeeze me" buttons on toys.

My Interests

Bassoon, spending time with friends and family, cartoons (yes, I am a big kid), long walks, enjoying the great out doors, (I miss my rollerblades!) reading ( in my "spare" time), knitting, experimenting in the kitchen (without causing a fire), listening to tunes, a little dance a little romance.... sometimes i'm loud and sometimes i'm quiet... life is about balance.

I'd like to meet:

people who don't suck, anyone who loves bassoon music, anyone who loves to laugh, and have fun, adventurous souls; no offense, and I shouldn't have to be so specific, but people who can read, write, and spell properly are preferred... p.s. leave your ego at the door ..
