Ready for my big break!

About Me

What's there to say...I'm a masters student in voice performance hoping one day to have an opera career. I like to think I'm a fun person to be around and I'm very social. I love the outdoors and hanging out with my friends. I am a firm believer in never quiting...even if you aren't sure of the outcome, well, at least you tried something and can't live with regrets! I love Europe and plan to live there in a few years to perform and take in the culture. To me, there are few things better in the world besides learning new, practical, things and culture of other countries and people is very interesting to me. That was a horribly written run-on sentance, but I don't care enough to change it. I'm a huge fan of hair dye, my pig collection, cold weather, living things, and polka dots! I don't know that there is much more to say so if you have questions...feel free to ask!Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

My Interests

My main passion in life is music (I perform mainly opera and other "classical" genres)...I can't find anything I love more than performing and communicating (sometimes very powerful) messages on the stage. Aside from my musical life, I enjoy reading, collecting all types of plants, hanging out with my friends, and doing mostly anything outdoorsy (hiking, swimming, camping, etc.). Anything that gets me out of the monotony of my everyday life (sitting in a drab building all day) is welcome! One more of my favorite pastimes is traveling...road trips or to new countries...I love to go places and explore!!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who doesn't suck. There are far too many sucky people in this world and I just don't have time for them.

If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Sergei Rakhmaninov

I lived in the early Twentieth Century and was well known for my compositional, conducting, and piano skills, yet I am melancholy despite this talent. My famous works include my nearly-impossible piano concerti.

Music:

I like a lot of things. I've been listening to Imogen Heap, Joanna Newsom, the Dresden Dolls, Regina Spector, and tons of opera lately. I think my favorite band of all time though would have to be Guns n' Roses though. I tend to go through musical phases every so often...There is always a fateful return to the Cranberries for I shall always love them...and old rock! ..

Movies:

I love Les Choristes, Fried Green Tomatoes, both of the Kill Bill vols., and most scary movies (I haven't found many that actually scare me though).

Television:

I don't really have much time for television, but when I do watch the discovery health channel (until I end up turning into a hypochondriac!), sometimes MTV, and some reality shows...I'm a big sucker for the discovery channels though...I know...I'm nerdy too...

Books:

I love books, so trying to think of a favorite is impossible. I really like gothic fiction books. A few other favorites of mine are Sylvia Plath, Patricia Cornwell, and V.C. Andrews.

Heroes:

My hero would probably have to be anyone who is happy and successful in life. (happy being the key element.) My other heros are my parents and my incredible friends who are always there for me in my times of need!
You Are From Neptune

You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything. What Planet Are You From?
You Have a Choleric Temperament
You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.
You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.
At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior. What Temperment Are You?

One down...

Well, this weekend was the Met national council audition in San Antonio.  I decided to try my chances and see what came of it all.  I drove with 5 of my friends here for 7 hours on Friday (b...

the end of a long week

I thought this week was never going to end.  These last two weeks have been rough to say the least.  With NATS approaching more rapidly than I would like to think about, I am being forced to...

AHHHH!

I can already tell this week is going to be so stressful...The MET national council auditions are in two weekends and I'm STILL not ready for them.  I have to see if I need to change one more son...

Life has been particularly bumpy and stressful lately!  My birthday last week was great!  I went to dinner with some friends, sang well in studio, and it was pretty laid back.  I was a ...

I can already tell it's going to be a not so good day...I wake up, my internet on my computer hasn't been staying connected, so every so often, I have to keep re-connecting to my OWN wireless network...

Alone: Tales of a solo mis-adventurer

To be more than completely honest...I LOVE being alone...  I've always been really social, but for the first time, I decided to just get away from it all and spend a week by myself doing whatever...

eeek

I've become anti-social lately.  I don't know why, but it's wierd.  I hope it goes away soon or school will be even worse than I expect it to be already! On another tangent, I formed a list ...

a Plan in sight!

Well, to be perfectly honest, I kind of only chose to apply for graduate school to kill more time until I could decide what I wanted to do with my life.  I have questioned having a singing career...

Bye bye!

Well, here I am, 11:14 at night about to go to sleep.  I'm leaving for Italy tomorrow!  I'm really excited, but I'm also REALLY worried!  I haven't finished memorizing my music yet...I'...
