I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello, everyone. My name is Kim and I change this more often than necessary. I just get bored with this so easily.


Born and raised just outside of NOLA, I'm a musician that knows no limits. It's everything to me, so I give back to it my passion and emotion. I've been writing (music and words), singing and playing the flute for some time now. Just started the composition, though. Thank you, Erik, for helping me begin such a wonderful thing. I also am going to be a wedding singer as a side project... hopefully soon.


Another important thing you have to know about me, my brother and sister are two of the most important people to me. They are my best friends, and I would do anything for them. Really. I'm also slightly protective of them...


Music and family are probably the two most important things in my life...... but another important factor is missing, too. My friends. My dear friends. You are incredible. Thank you for helping me face the many problems I confronted thus far, and for helping me overcome them. You're wonderful.


So, um, you want to know about ME, and some of the things I like............. okay........


I love travelling, especially. I'm leaving for Italy, and I've been telling people that I'm more excited for this than my own graduation that happened on May 20th of this year, and I wasn't kidding. Anyway, I also love to smile and laugh, a lot. I've been doing it a lot more now that Senior Project is over, which I hated. The thought of speaking in front of a group of people is something I usually dread. I'm a one-on-one kind of person - you'll learn that when you get to know me. And I REALLY don't like people that can't balance friends with relationships. If I can do it, so can you, and a friendship that took years to form is still important when you just get into a relationship, so please remember the people that stood by your side.


=] So anyway, I'm usually also incredibly busy. I have "TBD", which actually stands for Too Busy Disorder. And when I'm not busy, I feel the need to always be doing something to keep me busy. Help!


So I'm realizing that this is getting way too long, and I've probably lost everyone's interest already. Sorry... Wrapping things up......... I love different languages - learning Italian, it's wonderful. I already know French, hopefully that will be useful to me in life. I'm doubting, but there's still some hope =] Also, I love sleep, but my pattern is - well, there is none, I'll leave it at that! I probably couldn't live without my iPod. Anything having to do with space interests me. I wanted to be an astronomer when I was younger. Then I wanted to be an astrophysicist. Then I was introduced to the power of music. And then I fell in love. With music, that is.


I hope this "About Me" is satisfactory to your expectations... if not... well, sorry.

-- pictures
-- playing the flute and piccolo
-- plays
-- poetry
-- reading
-- Sibelius

-- writing
-- and other stuff I'll think of later.

Along with anyone else that just likes being themselves, and people that love others for who they are, not for what they have.


Hopefully, that applies to you.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

I like a lot of different music, but the music has to have an amazing singer, if there is one.
My favorite song is the one you're listening to, if you haven't turned off the music the second you clicked on my page.... which I really hope you didn't do.
My favorite genres are rock, classical and jazz.
Vocal jazz is great, and I love choir music.
Mostly contemporary, though the classics are great also.
My absolute favorite composers are Erik Bosio, Eric Whitacre, David N. Childs and Z. Randall Stroope.
My favorite a cappella groups are Cluster, The Ghost Files, Rajaton and Vox One.
My favorite bands are Blindside, Flyleaf, Chevelle, and Within Temptation.
My favorite singers are Erik Bosio, Letizia Poltini, Liwen Magnatta, Hayley Westenra, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, Kate Havnevik, Peter Eldridge, Andrea Bocelli.
My favorite instrumentalists are Chris Botti (trumpet) and Giovanni Allevi (piano).
I hate rap and country "music".
And I also hate anti-governmental punk music.
Yes, as much as the government annoys me too sometimes, you just can't do without it, so you may as well cut the anarchy bit.

Movies:

I'm actually incredibly movie-deprived.
I have a list of movies that I need to see, recommended by others.
But anyway.
Just know that I love musicals (except for High School Musical), comedies, a good romance/chick flick, and a REALISTIC scary movie on occasion.
An all-time favorite will always be Amadeus.
And The Brave Little Toaster. haha. I watched it at least a million times when I was younger.
I also like... The Holiday. 27 Dresses. August Rush. And many others I can't think of at the second.

Television:

Hah. I never watch TV anymore. Maybe just the Weather Channel and the Travel Channel.

Books:

At the end of this school year, I'll update this.
Just finished Woody Allen's Side Effects. LOVED it!
Currently reading Jane Austen's Persuasion.
I also love Shakespeare tragedies, Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, and John Milton's Paradise Lost.
Strange? Maybe so.
But whoever said I was normal?
Anyway, I also love to read poetry, especially by Emily Dickinson, Stephen Crane, e.e. cummings, Robert Frost, Hilda Doolittle, Edgar Allen Poe, Shel Silverstein, and others.

Heroes:

Anyone that follows their heart.
Anyone who goes out of their way to help someone in need.
Anyone that inspires me.
