About Me

Finally decided to update this section. Not much has changed since the last time. Still looking for at least contract work. I'm going to make a serious go of expanding my freelancing in the coming months.I just got through working a copywriting job that I really enjoyed so I'm going to try to get into that field.I'm hoping that someone will sit up and, not to brag too much, take notice of my obvious skills.Other than that, there isn't much to tell. I'm in my early thirties, single at the moment and not looking. I graduated from Humber College's Journalism program in 2001.I take music pretty seriously, in fact I'm the music editor for Scene & Heard.ca, an arts and culture webzine in my unofficial hometown of Toronto. It's a volunteer position, for now, but it's something I love and I'm passionate about. Again, not to blow my own horn but I pretty much single-handedly got the music section to where it is today! With the a lot of help and support from the 'zine's staff of course!I'll probably add to this as I think of crap. But those are the basics!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People like me, people who are different from me, anyone!Plus anyone who's going to be here ...
