I am here for Friends

About Me

I consider myself to be a well rounded individual, with a variety of hobbies and interests. Some of which are sewing, knitting, and crocheting. While spending time at my family's cottage I enjoy sailing and canoeing and am learning to windsurf. I currently am a dedicated mentor on a highschool robotics team, of which I was a member for 3 years while I was still a student. I'm interested in cars and motorcycles and technology and crasftsmanship. I couldn't possibly list all my interests, because I don't believe theres an end. I love to relax in the sun with a book and listen to some good tunes. I enjoy meeting new people and being social, although I may not always have the time to do so.
Also, you can check out my MSN space which has a lot of pictures..193,115
