I just moved to LA from Texas, mostly for the weather, school and friends. If you can't tell by my lists, I'm a serious student of
pop culture. I have a really twisted sense of humor, which
can sometimes throw people off. I also really love poetry-
-even the kind that you can hear in everyday speech. I'm constantly trying new things with my life--
reevaluation is my obsession! I'm indecisive sometimes,
but after all, who thinks they've got it all figured out?
I am a classical musician (a pianist and singer, now
studying musicology), but my life doesn't neccessarily
revolve around music. I love writing and languages and
traveling, especially to Europe. I'm technologically
incompetent (when I first started working on the the
internet, I spelled .com with two m's) and it's all I
can do to send email.

I love people who are high-energy (like me), and are open-
minded enough about life to laugh at things we're probably
not supposed to laugh at. In other words, I love
inappropriate people, people who love hearing responses
from others like, "That's so wrong!" I love hanging out
with people who make great schizophrenic conversation--
philosophy one minute, the new Justin Timberlake album the
next. I love people who avoid puns (even if you think its the best pun ever, please...please, seriously...just leave it at home). I love people who can laugh until it hurts, and
then get weepy at the occasional period movie. Oh, and if you can pronounce the last word on my interest list the right way, give me a ring.
