Self-summary? Well, I'm a little bit of a lot of things. I'm a musician, balancing my time between enjoying the music I still make (guitar, singing) and fondly remembering the music I've set aside (piano, drums). I'm a computer programmer, which despite what you might have heard is really not so bad. I am a dancer, spending a lot of my time swing dancing; if you ever visit the Ottawa dance scene you'll probably run into me. I was once an author, writing bad sci-fi and decent poetry when I got the chance, but that hasn't happened in ages. I'm a reader, slowly working my way through whatever box or pile of books I bought at the most recent garage sale. I'm a thinker, a doer, a planner, a lover of the English language, a one-time fencer, a laugher, and a good friend.

I've also recently gotten into making my own vodka infusions, and mixing delicious cocktails.

I am optimistic, thoughtful, and free on saturday :)

Loving it!

Other than the obvious ("working", "spending time with friends", etc), I'm just trying to get the most out of life. I keep myself busy with lots of hobbies and athletics, and do my best to never waste an opportunity.

I've been told I have a good memory... unfortunately it's mostly used for remembering lines from movies and television. I also make a mean cookie.

Hard to say - it seems kind of rude to ask them when they've just met me. Maybe that I smile a lot?

Books: Lord Of The Rings trilogy (Tolkien); Snow Crash (Stephenson); Mere Christianity (Lewis)

Movies: The Matrix; Star Wars trilogy (the original); Office Space; Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

Music: Where to start? I've got a lot of BNL and Great Big Sea. I enjoy the Beatles, Metallica, Grieg, The Guess Who, Days of the New, The Hip... it's kind of all over the map. Right now I'm in love with Honeyman and the Brothers Farr.

Food: Definitely pasta.

Good friends, music, an internet connection, intelligent conversation, books, and summer thunderstorms (love those).

The many projects I'm usually involved with. I'm one of those people who has to have lots of things going on at once...and when I complete one thing, I find another pretty quick.

Out with friends, maybe at the movies, maybe down on the Market. Lately, I've been out swing dancing a lot...

I'm a pack rat. I keep everything, only to end up throwing most of it out five years later. You just never know when you'll need it, right?

If you are looking for someone to chat with, and think I sound like fun, give me a shout!

Also, if you live in the Ottawa area and are interested in singing in my jazz choir, just send me a message and I can give you the details. I think I've got enough people, but that might change.
