My self-summary
Life is fucking crazy, I dig it. I really don't like the bored feeling so I avoid it. My prose needs work. I'm a thinker. I'm a dork. I have wonderful friends who a get to hang with regularly. I dislike stagnancy, which effects me in a number of ways. Playing music makes me very happy. I've been hitting a few open mics for fun here and there. Longboarding is my zen, snowboarding comes close. I enjoy yoga. I really love the beach. I'm a bit of a romantic. And self summaries are kind of an odd concept.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm really happy I'm now studying music theory. I want to be a professor. This generally means I spend a great deal of time in the music library, researching theories to unify the understanding of music. I mostly focus on the science/art overlap. As a result, I often approach musical and artistic topics from a science vantage point, which is no good for the whole difference in writing styles let me tell you. Also makes me philosophize quite a bit. After studying physics and music in my undergrad years, I got my first masters in education and taught high school physics and robotics for four years in DC. I enjoyed it but I'm happier with my current path.

To pay rent and such, I tutor science and math all around the city. Which generally means I longboard to and from upperclass, beautiful apartments, preaching the good word of science. Some of the characters I meet could inspire a book or show easily.

In the meantime, finding trips to go on and staying active. Maybe tending to my herb garden and watching the sunset off my back porch.
I’m really good at
Being aware of my surroundings, sarcastically people watching, doing many tasks while balancing on my right foot (working on the left), cooking (must be the Italian in me), thinking ahead but then realizing I have to explain my thought process, figuring out instruments, longboard shtuff. Oh, and I'm fairly handy! (in an Italian family, once you're 13, you're just another set of hands to help build things)

And I give a good massage. Strong hands I'm told.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes. I think people like my smile, or the fact that I do it a lot. I've also been told I have nice arms?
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Einstein's Dream, The Prophet, The Physics of Tao, The Elegant Universe (great teaching tool), The Giver, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, The Music of the Spheres, In Search of Schrodinger's Cat (I prefer the non-fiction genre generally)

I study music so this may be a conversation best saved for another venue.
I love seeing live music. Mainly cause I love to dance. Take me to a ska show like the slackers or something and I will be dancing all night.
Ska music, punk, reggae, classic rock, opera, classical, jazz, good rap, blues, motown, funk, swing, I dunno...
Not a big radio guy, but I listen to a great deal of music.

Italian food! But I eat anything and am always wiling to try new things, especially while traveling. I cook a lot. I'm not a veggie or a vegan but I do not eat much meat. I do like it though. As for drinking, I very much enjoy a nice glass of whiskey.

As for movies and TV
I rarely have time to watch stuff. I have a morning routine of waking up, putting my little stove top espresso pot on, and watching the Daily show or Colbert from the night before. Great way to start my day. I also dig South Park, the Office, documentaries off of my roommate's netflix account, the Boondocks, and Looney Tunes!
The six things I could never do without
Been working on not attaching myself to the material things, mostly cause of my clumsiness. But other than that:
Music, Longboarding, Italian Food, Family, Friends, Fun, Love!
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Physics, music, girls, food, I'm pretty simple... but I also spend time on those essential questions in life. Luckily my friends appease me with spirited conversation.
On a typical Friday night I am
Having fun or being productive. I dunno, fridays are just as special as every other day. Tuesdays are cool too! I'm not a 'workin for the weekend' type.

On any given day I am either at a skateboard session, playing music, researching music, seeing live music, watching a movie, tutoring, at the park, hanging with friends at a dive bar, finding spontaneous fun...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I like to cuddle. What of it?

I had blue hair in high school.

You should message me if
I like the creative, confident, dorky types. That being said, I have always been a sucker for a brown eyed punk rock girl. Though I have received many very entertaining, and at sometimes ridiculous messages, I would be ok with a nice normal one.

Please don't message me if you are one of those girls who sees themselves as an enigma, wrapped in a contradiction, who boasts about being a chill, down to earth girl.
