Go make a life, not a living!

About Me

I'm a person who wants to explore everything that life has to offer. I love to learn new things and meet different people. I guess I'm just curious, which i think is a great quality to have, as long as you don't let it get you into TOO much trouble. *wink* At the moment, I'm taking a break from being a full time student while I take care of a few things at home. However, while I'm here I'm taking a few classes at county to keep myself in school mode so I'm ready to head back to Willy P in the summer. :) When I do head back I will continue studying sound engineering arts (which is music recording and production, for those of you who aren't familiar with it.) I have about 16 credits left and I'm really excited to be so close to finishing. :) I love music; recording, working on live sound, performing and listening to pretty much everything out there. I love to perform, especially when I have a chance to sing a song that I can really identify with. Reading is also one of my favorite things to do, and lately I have so many interests that I can't decide what to read about. However, I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan. One of the things I love about the books and the movies is how dedicated the people were to the projects, it is such a great feeling to work in an environment where everyone loves what they're doing. I hope I am lucky enough to continue doing just that.

My Interests

Music, and pretty much every aspect of it; Learning everything I can, Recording, Reading, Movies, Writing and Drawing when I get a chance, more music, and of course, family and friends because I wouldn't be myself without them.

Anyone who is as curious and open minded as I am.and these kids because this is hillarious!
