Talk nerdy to me.

About Me

I choose to live life with no regrets, but clutch desperately to good memories. I have a passion in my heart for making and listening to music. I feel that even though I open myself up, people misunderstand me. I am not an enigma (most of the time). I am not quick to judge but have been on the receiving end of hasty judgements much in my life. I have the ability to laugh at myself and at the seriousness of others. I like the smell that my pillow has when a friend leaves after spending the night with me. If I lose someone, I think about the way they held an object, like a coffee mug or steering wheel, and if I hold it the same way, it brings them back. I give my love freely but have paid dearly for it. I have a belief that there is someone out there who will know me without me having to tell them. I have alot of love to give and alot to learn from that giving.

My Interests

Making Music, Reading, Listening to Music, Meeting new people, Laughing, Listening to people when they need it most, Family, Friends, Love, Souls, Dreams, Working hard, Playing Harder.
