About Me

I want to go back to Nicaragua to live for a while and help out however I can.

I'm a modern dancer, but I'm currently on the market for a new spine.

I have scottish herritage, so I'm into scottish stuff
I'm in a bagpipe band in which I am a snare drummer.

I love old school photograghpy, with manual cameras, darkrooms and enlargers and the works. I recently got a digital SLR camera, though, and that's pretty damn sweet, as well.

I write my own songs. It's got a bluesy feel.

I play the piano and sing without lessons. I took piano lessons when I was 8, but quit when I was 12.

I'd like to meet:
