I'm a graphic designer and sometimes musician who kinda gave one up for the other. I am almost always willing to chat (unless I'm swamped with work) so message me or send an IM my way.

I still love music but my chops have gotten rusty and I don't seem to find the time to play my sax much any more. I have always been a big nerd, I love tech and science. Not necessarily the Bunsen burner, massive equation part of science, more like the end result like crazy little robots that run around Mars or cellular scaffolds that grow organs. I am a proud convert to the cult of Apple and will never buy a PC as my primary system ever again. But, now this profile makes me sound like some shallow tech obsessed kid living in the basement. Truth is that I'm a well fairly rounded individual who loves camping, a good book or movie, meeting new people and talking, boy do I like to talk. Odds are that if you bring up a subject I'll have something to say about it.

I spend most of my free time working on design work for myself and watching movies or TV on NetFlix. I have become very attached to my netflix subscription, there are just so many new things to watch.

I love to cook and usually come up with some really good stuff, and at least its always edible. Well except for once but everyone got better after a few days. ;)

I am studying graphic design at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Still looking for that crazy bohemian art girl that I was going to find and fall in love with. But that's what college is I guess, nothing like what you thought it was going to be like.

This summer I'll be interning with somebody somewhere and hopefully will still make it to the Kerrville Folk Festival for the annual 18 day camp out hippie fest.

Listening to people, talking out problems, taking charge of a group if need be, I can tie a mean knot, and I can be pretty convincing at times.

It used to be my long hair. Now its probably the beard/hair combo.

I enjoy reading, it doesn't really matter what. But I can't really say that I have ever read a romance novel, or a western (other than Shane for school) and I do read a lot of mystery and thriller books.

Movies:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Life Aquatica
A Scanner Darkly
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Across the Universe
The US vs John Lennon
Documentaries of all kinds

Ummmm.... mexican food! I miss it so much when I am up north, and good Texas Barbecue.

The essentials like food, water and shelter. I can do with out a lot of things for a while at least.

The time that I get to spend with family and friends out at the Kerrville Folk Festival each summer.

Good friends.

A comfy bed and good quilt.

Some way to entertain myself or keep myself occupied.

Connection to world events.

The work that I should be doing.

The topic for my BFA thesis next year. Its never too soon to start thinking about it.

Working on homework with my roommates. I need to get out more often...

As for the not so typical Friday night I am at he bar having a few. I don't drink much in my free time unless we make a night of it. Its not that I don't like booze its just that I would prefer juice or water most of the time.

And no matter what I am doing on a Friday there is probably a little pot* involved somewhere. But that is the extent of my drug use.

* what did you expect I am in art school.

I always go after the ones who are not available.

If you live near the University Circle area and don't mind walking places or car pooling since I don't have a car in Cleveland right now. Or if you are just an interesting girl who wants to chat.
