About Me

Okay, I finally got around to sitting down and writing out this part of my profile. I was born in El Salvador. I'm part Swiss. The time I have lived in Austin has been the longest time I've lived anywhere, so I guess I'm an Austinite now. I have a tendency to be fairly scatter-brained. I've been nicknamed a timid woodland creature by a group of my friends - I guess that has something to do with me just being very shy around new people. I like music - I can't sing or dance, but I do like concerts. I like concerts a lot. For about 3 hours, I can pretty much forget all that's bugging me and just get lost in the experience. Wait, I'm getting off-topic on this one...told you I was scatter-brained. I like movies, too. I don't get to go to enough, but I do like them. I try to keep things simple, but doing that just seems to complicate things sometimes so I mostly just kind of go with the flow. I really have no idea what I'll be doing tomorrow, and that doesn't really bother me. br
