I'm nice.
I'm not at all flighty.
I'm usually pretty happy.
I finished a BA in English a few years ago at McMaster - now I
spend most of my time running my teeny "business" where I make
things and sell them on etsy.com, in a few diy/indie craft stores
in the states, art shows, craft fairs, etc. I love it and rarely
notice how much I work. Which is a lot.
I like music and books a more than average amount. Movies too but I
don't go out to them enough.
Art/Books/Movies/Music are a big part of my life - I'm a credited
"lyric editor" so if you need some help writing some songs - I need
to figure out how to do that more often without just dating
musicians for the rest of my life.
I'm pretty independent. Alone time doesn't frighten me.
But I like to hang out and I like fun times too.
Working.
I moved around a lot when I was a kid so I don't consider anywhere
my hometown. It would be nice to feel settled. I'm not sure if
Hamilton is it - but my family is here which is enough right now. I
think about both moving and staying a lot.

I would prefer not to live without a few select other things but I
suppose I could go without a lot if it really came down to it.
Working, out with a friend, sleeping. I don't have a regular
schedule for anything.
Not a whole lot.
you think we'll have something to say to each other.
