RANDOM MUSIC QUOTE
"I'm only happy when it rains...I'm only happy when it's complicated...And though I know you can't appreciate it...I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down...Pour your misery down on me

I only smile in the dark...My only comfort is the night gone black...I didn't accidentally tell you that...I'm only happy when it rains."

- Garbage, Only Happy When It Rains

- Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams), What Dreams May Come

BIO

Many of you reading this page have come here because you know me from various online places, or maybe you're some of my few real life friends.  While I have many acquaintances, not many of you are really those I call friends.  If you are, you're lucky.  Don't get me wrong.  I don't hate people or social situations.  But I am naturally a bit of a recluse, partially because I'm an only child and partially because of other factors.  And I'm very nocturnal.  Next to music, the moonlight holds more magick for me than few things in this world.  It's something that's just never left me, even as I've grown.  I have a sort of penchant for the darker things in life, yet I'm actually quite soft-hearted, emotionally sensitive, and a hopeless romantic.  This and many more things make me a complex person, and it's taken me nearly 30 years on this earth to even understand for myself some of the finer points of what makes me tick.  Honestly, it's not easy being my friend and not many are up for the challenge.

After I graduated high school in 1992 (jinkees, I'm getting old), I attended Oakland University in my hometown of Rochester, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit) as a music education major.  After two years, I transferred to Central Michigan University, where I attended the School of Music for five of the most exciting semesters of my life.  Among other commitments, I joined the sisterhood of Sigma Alpha Iota, the women's professional music fraternity, and the Chippewa Marching Band.  After some soul searching, I decided I needed a break and some focus.  I was coming to the conclusion that while I had the passion for the music, the teaching aspect was perhaps not for me, and I was getting burned out on the questions that kept nagging me.  So I left college in my senior year...and it was about a year and a half after this that it had become the best decision I had ever made, for I was leaving the state.  Why?  I had met the love of my life about a year earlier and I couldn't stand the three states of separation anymore.  Three states, huh?  Where did we meet?  Well...online.

Yes, online.  Sometimes you can find love in cyberspace in addition to the ax-wielding psychos.  Though the media would like you to believe they're all child molesters and perverts, that's certainly not the case.  Most of them are regular people, like you and me.  Just make sure that if you go into a relationship like this, you're careful.  Make sure you've talked to the person for a long time before you meet.  And when you do meet, make sure it's on neutral territory and in a public place.  Play it safe and careful, and be sure of yourself.  For me, the first time I talked to Matt on the phone...I just knew.  Now I feel I'm married to my soul mate.  Sometimes it's a small world, in real life and in cyberspace.
