I generally prefer just spending time out with a small group of friends or hanging out around the house rather than needing be constantly on the go or traveling, but it's possible I could be persuaded to do differently.

I'm looking for someone who is interested in a relationship, someone who has a warm smile and heart, and overall, when I think about who I want to spend my time with, the word that keeps popping into my head is 'beautiful' in its pure form. Other than that, I am open to different types of people and different personalities.

I tend to be very analytical and try to hold myself to high standards, but don't mistake that for being uptight. I enjoy hanging out with friends and I think others consider me witty (I hope), but I usually adjust to the people I'm around, so if you don't find me funny... :)

I recently graduated with a degree in Instrumental Music Education with an emphasis in percussion from Missouri State and I am currently looking for a better job in a rough economy...

People who know me tend to say I'm very smart and analytical, very open-minded, humorously sarcastic (in a good way), understanding, and a true friend.

Although I can appreciate almost any kind of music and even enjoy most of it (Gwen Stefani and Outkast for example), I tend to listen to jazz and classical music the most.

Curious?

Above all I'm looking for someone who is both open and honest.

I'm currently working at a restaurant since I couldn't find a good teaching job around here, but I continue looking and will not resign myself to being a server when I would much rather spend my life being a teacher.

Listening (most of the time) and having deep and/or goofy conversations...I think there are more, but among my vast number of talents I'm also very modest. :)

My smile.

Since I have my Music Ed. degree I enjoy a wide variety of music, but tend to listen to jazz and classical music most often.

I don't often watch movies, but I generally enjoy them with someone beside me. :)

I read often, but generally not entire books. I read a lot on teaching and music as well as reading Time magazine and things like that.

As most of my friends would say, I just spend a lot of time thinking in general.

The above sounds like we might be a match or you are curious to find out more about me.
