I don't like trying to represent myself in these little boxes, but I'll give it a try. : ) I just moved to Boulder this year and I love it. I'm pursuing a master's degree in piano at CU. I'm a shy person, but friendly at the same time. I can be really silly when you get to know me (in a good way, I think...). I'm pretty laid back and easy going. I like to try many different things, usually all at once, so I am often scattered because of this. I suppose it's a good thing that I'm not one-dimensional, though. I really enjoy traveling and trying to learn foreign languages. I am sort of skeptical about these kinds of sites, but decided to try it for fun. I will do a better job describing myself later...

I'm a grad student in piano...trying to become a better and more knowledgable musician so that I can use my talents to the best of my abilities. I'm teaching group piano and private lessons. My goal is to eventually finish with a doctoral degree in piano performance...maybe I'll stay here for my doctorate if I continue to like Boulder and CU as much as I do.

music (supposedly), foreign languages, writing, being adventurous/open minded, learning new things quickly, some kinds of partner/ballroom dancing (I don't know if I'd say *really* good...), listening, cooking/baking when I take the time to do it, DDR (yep I'm a dork), Boggle, procrastinating (I'm a little too good at that), teaching, playing music with others

I've never been able to figure that out, but I can try to guess...physically, that I'm tall, I have a nice smile...otherwise, you might notice that I'm pretty reserved and quiet to begin with.

a. the Harry Potter books--I love them, Series of Unfortunate Events, Anne of Green Gables (childhood favorite), Oscar Wilde...other than that I have a hard time picking favorites so I'll just name some other recent ones: The Life of Pi, Zen in the Art of Archery, Bridget Jones's Diary, The Poisonwood Bible, The Hobbit...there are lots of more serious books and books in general that I really want to read, but I never seem to have much time for reading anymore...not what I want to read anyway
b. so many favorite movies...be warned, I'm a hopeless romantic: Love Actually, Moonstruck, When Harry Met Sally, Father of the Bride, Amelie, Austin Powers, Kill Bill, Office Space, Wayne's World, Napoleon Dynamite, Finding Nemo, The Wizard of Oz...many others
c. a ton of classical--it's very hard for me to pick favorites, some jazz, lots of world music--especially Irish (Dervish, Altan), Indian; Elvis, Carole King, Ben Folds, John Denver, some musicals...hmm I'll work on this more later
d. I love food...and I guess I'll include beverages...breakfast is my favorite meal--pancakes, waffles, etc.; Chicago style deep dish pizza (my favorite EVER is Lou Malnati's), Indian (boo, I miss Krishna, my favorite Indian place in Cincinnati : ( ), Italian, Mediterranean, sushi, Thai, Korean, dark chocolate (by itself or any dessert that involves chocolate), coffee, different kinds of beers, wine...and basically I'll try anything new

my family, friends, music, coffee, sleep (although I try to do without it sometimes...but it doesn't work out too well, hehe), sunshine--good thing I moved to Boulder. : )

love, the future, the past, my family and friends, how I can't believe I'm a grad student, how I need to stop answering questions on OKCupid and get work done. : )

finishing up teaching piano lessons, relaxing after a stressful school week, practicing if I feel especially nerdy or have a concert/recital/lesson coming up, watching a movie (either at home or out to a movie with a friend), trying to learn tango, staying up ridiculously late for no reason even though I need sleep!

Well...let's see, I guess one thing is that I'm really very shy, so I generally wait for guys to ask me out. Also, I talk to my fish sometimes. : D

you think I might be cool, you know me, you're nice, you appreciate music, you're not a stalker (any combination of these things of course)
