About Me

I'm not quiet, but I'm not outgoing. I just prefer to spend time by myself. I prefer logic over emotion, and I have no patience for personal drama.
In the end I can always find a piece of music to define my mood. It's the backbone of my life. I've found that when I can't define my mood it's because I'm listening to the wrong music. Once I find the right song, I can finally let it all out.
I keep myself really busy, and I like it that way. Between my full-time job, teaching at Barbizon, house/pet sitting, and some freelance sound design/engineering jobs, I've always got a job to do. Then in my spare time I try to find some time to sing at church, play handbells, grow orchids, stay fit, experiment with cooking, and have a social life.
I try to take in some culture by going to the ballet, museums, concerts, and theatre as often as possible. (Whenever Cirque du Soleil is in town, I'm there.)
I hate silence. I have to have some sort of noise in the background at all times in my day. So, I always have music on. I don't like watching TV, but I'll turn it on when I need some noise.

My Interests

Singing, Dance, Fencing, Orchids, Handbells, Music, Cooking, Reading, Physics, Taking things apart, Sound Design, my pets (cats and fish), and Dragons.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, new friends, lost friends or anyone else.

Music:

Singer/Songwriter, Rock, Blues, Classical, Alternative, Folk, Jazz, Oldies, Dance/Techno, and even some metal.
I love finding bands/singers before they get popular. It all goes downhill from there.

Movies:

Suspense, Thriller, Drama, Animated Movies, and Horror. No chick flicks! For example: Seven, Silence of the Lambs, Beautiful Mind, Finding Nemo, and the Hellraiser Series

Television:

I much prefer reading or listening to music, but I will indulge in some TV. Family Guy, House, Dr. Who, Mythbusters, CSI, Dirty Jobs, Good Eats, and my guilty pleasure - Gilmore Girls

Books:

Piers Anthony, James Patterson, Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Harris

The Christmas Spirit
