I am fun to get to know, and open up more when people take the time to know me. I am positive and plesant. I like to laugh and think laughter is important in life. I don't like to shop, and would rather hang out in sweatpants and hoodies watching a good movie, or working on something.
On the other side of the laid-back description of myself above, I hold very high expectations for myself and those around me. Some of my goals include learning guitar, becoming more comfortable with German and Spanish, and planning/organizing my time better. I enjoy working and fill my time right now with waitressing. It gets me out of the house.
My friends and family mean a lot to me. I also enjoy learning and think is is part of my goal for self improvement.

I just graduated from Mt. Mary College with my certification for music education along with a minor in History. I already held my BA in Music and a minor in Religious Studies from Lawrence University. I live in a home and occationally dog sit.
My goal since I have been little has been to graduate school, get a job, a house, a dog, a bike, and then a boyfriend, in that order. I have come to realize that changing the order is not necessarily a bad thing.

I am teaching music in a small school district in Wisconsin. I also waitress to keep busy and out of trouble. I am starting to explore Astrology and Gemology. I'm new with it, and trying to find an explanation to life; It might have an answer.

I am a bit cynical, but think it is funny. I am good with people and have high expectations. I sympathize and understand people. I am good at sarcasm. I can sing very well, but get embarrassed about it.

I can be very good at being judgemental.

People first notice how loud I am, my smile, and my eyes. I am loud in personality and in volume. I feel that if I am smiling it really should mean something and not be fake. Also, I have green eyes, and I think it is my best feature.

I like to read and my collections include some classic novels, Harry Potter, Dan Brown, Christy, Twlight, and books about Russian History.
Right now I am in the process of reading LOTR.

I like many movies with different styles. The top of each category are 50 First Dates, Snow White, Seven, Schindlers List, Forest Gump, Harry Potter(s), SLC Punk, The Proposal, P.S. I love you, The Notebook, and Sleeping Beauty, She's All That, and Fern Gully. There are more, but I can't list all of them here.

Though there is not a category for TV shows, I do occasionally watch anything on the food network, The Learning Channel, or the History Channel, House, Charmed, Angel, and Buffy. I like watching the shows that are not real or something I can learn from.

I am a music teacher, so I am not opposed to any music, and really appreciate all types of music. At any given time I could be listening to the Boston Pops, Mariah Carey, J5, Billy Joel, Pearl Jam, or CCR. I know way too many Oldies songs, but don't know much of anything about the artists.

I like trying new foods as long as I know what is in the new food I am trying. If I know people have been able to survive on this food before I am more likely to eat it. I like to make comfort foods in large quantities. Some of my specialties right now involve soups, Italian, German, and anything random I find in the fridge.

Things I could not do without, in no particular order: memories, people, music, my computer, laughter and _____.

Why Kermit has a problem being green?
What religion is the right one?
How some people can be born with such natural talents, and others are born struggling throughout life?
Are looks everything?
How to categorize my life and different aspects of it.
If I would be reincarnated as a dog.

Organizing an outing with friends, sleeping, working, watching a movie. It depends on the type of week I have had, and who is around.

I am jealous of a dog's life and the simplicity of it.

You are interested in someone who is more than "cute", and can carry on a conversation. I think there is a certain level of respect that comes with messaging people. If you want me to respond please use something resembling the English language. An occational spelling or grammatical error can be tolerated.
