Travel
I love French places, especially Montreal and southern France (like Cannes). Back in 1995, I lived in Avignon for a month and Dijon for a month. Care to go back to France with me?
I'd like to meet:
My future wife:
You are an easygoing woman who smiles all the time and rarely gets depressed. You are playful and affectionate. You were born after 1970. You enjoy mainstream food and mainstream entertainment.
It'd be nice if you are insouciant so that my insouciance won't make you angry. Also, when your guy mutes every single TV commercial that ever comes on (except for Super Bowl commercials), that doesn't make you angry either.
A superficial and less-important characteristic:
You are a French-speaking brunette.
Who I'd not like to meet:
High-maintenance women. Nymphomaniacs. Alcoholics. Evangelists. In a nutshell, anyone who cultivates stress and misery.
Famous people I have met:
Matthew Broderick, when I was an extra in Glory
Brian Regan, when Heather took me to one of his concerts in Ohio
Tom Hulce, when I was an extra in Black Rainbow
Jimmy Buffett, when I was a bartender at a country club in Atlanta
Bellamy Young, recently seen in M:I 3, when I was her classmate at Asheville High
Alan Thicke, when I worked at a Disney hotel
Teresa Isaac, former mayor of Lexington, when I worked in city government during the great "Ice Storm of 2003"
Steffany Huckaby, star of Death Tunnel, when Valerie brought her to a ballroom dance
Photographer For Hire!
Ignore this section. I built it so I can experiment with photo albums like the one I found on my sister's friend's profile. Propz to "www.myspace.com/sierrakelly"
I will photograph your event for the low, low rate of $125.00 per hour plus airfare, lodging, and meals. I am particularly interested in photographing events in Australia.

"Hits of the eighties, nineties, and today," as some radio stations say.
Sarah Brightman.
MC Solaar.
Beginner-level classical sheet music that I struggle to play on my piano.
