I am sweet, inquisitive, and easygoing.

My Self-Summary

I'm not really sure of the best way to describe myself.

I am a fashion designer by trade, although that's not what I'm currently working as. The arts are very, very important to me. I love to make things. I'm a Christian, a Democrat, an avid reader, and an unabashed lover of the color pink (although, I'm having a minor dalliance with purple at the moment). I love to laugh and learn, and there are few things I love more than a great conversation with someone(s) I like. I like sports. I LOVE tennis. I know I'm soft-spoken, but I don't consider myself shy. I am honest and open, but kind and tactful. I often daydream. I am patient and rarely feel angry. I never learned to tie my shoes the "right" way.

Good start?

What I’m doing with my life

Trying to figure out what comes next! :)

I work at a costume studio where we produce costumes for shows on Broadway, celebrities, dance companies, etc. It's exhausting work sometimes, but being paid to make things all day is pretty much my dream.

I'm slowly finding a good work/life balance.

I’m really good at

Sewing Finding creative solutions for projects and problems. Making people smile. Drawing. Following directions!

The first things people usually notice about me

Red hair? I think that people can tell that I'm friendly - either that, or I'm just really great at standing conveniently near to people who need directions!

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I know it's a little cliche, but I love Jane Austen. Pride & Prejudice is my favorite, but I've read everything she's written. I read a lot of books in varied genres, though. Some of my other favorite authors are Douglas Adams, Gregory Maguire, Margaret Feinberg, Anna Gavalda. I'm making my way through Random House's list of the 100 Best Novels.

I like most kinds of movies, but I don't care for horror or excessive gore. I have a great affinity for foreign films, love stories, comedies, and action flicks. My absolute favorite is Amelie.

Music is my lifeblood. A few of my favorite bands and artists are Needtobreathe, Nickel Creek, Josh Rouse, Guster. I think I have enough music on my iPod to last me weeks. I always leave my playlists on shuffle. I love it when something unexpected, like a song from Beauty and the Beast, comes on when I'm tired and on my way home from work.

I love anything involving coconuts or pomegranates. I like to try new or interesting things.

The six things I could never do without

Earrings, my iPod, books, a needle and thread, mascara, and tea!

I could probably do without all of these things if I tried, or wanted to, but I seriously prefer to have them in my life.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The way things work. I use the word "things" very loosely - I may be thinking about how broad worldwide systems work, or amazed at the movement of the muscles in the human body. I kind of love to admire the world around me.

I also manage to get songs stuck in my head almost all the time. They continue on repeat until I can figure out how to replace them with something else. I'm not sure if I consciously think about that very often, but it's steadily playing on low volume in the back of my head.

On a typical Friday night I am

Out with friends, having margaritas and talking and laughing. Otherwise, home relaxing with a book, a sewing project, or a movie and a cup of tea.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I have a freckle on my lower lip. I really dig motorcycles. I have been to a lot of places in the US, but I've never seen the Rocky Mountains.

You should message me if

You love Jesus, love life, and have a soft spot for smart redheads.

Or, you know, if your interest is piqued.
