About Me


Hello everyone. I just got back from Guam and I've got lots of stories to tell. I've already got some entries in my blogs with pictures and video from my trip and I'll be posting more in the days to come. I miss my friends in Guam but it's still nice to be back home.

Just click to feed my fish.

My Interests

Aside from devouring the 'cello for about 3+ hours daily I like riding my bike, crocheting, cooking, languages, arranging pop songs for strings, sneaking looks at cute guys, thrift stores, yard sales, antiques and vintage items, gardening, thinking in silence, driving with my windows down (and hanging my head out when I'm not driving), traveling (esp. spontaneous road trips), trapeze, cool hair, cool socks........
