I'm a very musical person. I'm in love with my guitar(s). Songwriting is my passion, and hopefully someday my career. As a little kid I've always been singing and dancing to the music of I've grown up with (from classic rock to the honky tonk of my grandmother's piano), but then came piano lessons around the age of 8. The experiences of performing in public as (more oftenly) an accompanist led to more experiences. Then I picked up a guitar around 13. I never put it down. I'm in college now though. Making my future as we speak (at least I hope). I have so many things to write about, and not enough space or time to do it, but I manage.
I also have many interests outside of music. Since getting my drivers license I've also been riding my motorcycle. I have a Honda Rebel for now, someday hoping to upgrade to a Harley. That'll happen when college is paid for, money is coming in, and other vital expenses are out of the way. (In other words, a long time from now.) My parents both ride Harleys. My mom is actually a member of the MotorMaids - amazing, inspiring group of *young* ladies, most as young as their 60's or 70's. She also rode to California and back this summer (from Pennsylvania). Wish I could've been there. Someday I'll do it though...if not w/ a group, I'll do it alone. Writing songs all the way.
I'm involved in the Nuremburg Community Players, a wonderful group of actors. If you've ever seen or heard of the musical "Honk!" (the ugly duckling story), I played Penny in our spring show of 2003. We do a lot of theater games - another reason why one of my favorite shows is "Who's Line is it, Anyway?". I'm going to miss being in this year's spring show...school is kind of in the way.
I also played volleyball in highschool. I was a setter for 2 years, a hitter for one, and a defensive player for one...basically I've been all over. I miss it so much. But I'd never be able to play in college and go to class as well. Plus highschool's over, and once college happens that stuff doesn't matter anymore.
Odds and Ends
-I live in a house in a small village by a small town surrounded by cornstalks and strawberry fields. "strawberry fields forever.."
-My birthday is 4 days before Christmas. No pool parties for me, but at least everyone's around for the holidays.
-I'm really terrible with carrying a purse. Anyone who knows me well enough would vouch for that one.
-I can be very quiet at times when really I'm one pretty crazy kid once ya get to know me. The crazy sets in somewhere around 2 a.m. or if I have any reason at all to be happy.
-If I could meet any person at all, I would probably want to meet Michael Hedges so he could give me a guitar lesson. :)
-I never watch the movie Children of the Corn. (see #1)
-I appreciate the little things, sometimes a little too much.
-I went to my first concert at the age of 9 to see Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Wonderful memory.
-I'm an overall happy person. I try to be as optimistic as I can. Sometimes I fear I annoy the pessimists around me.
-MTV is crap. I'm sorry, did I offend someone? MTV is crap. But I do like Dire Straits..."I want my mtv..." Okay, bad joke, sorry. lol
-I've discovered I'm not good at playing horseshoes...last time I did, I hit somebody's van.
-My favorite color today is deep red...fall foliage colors.
-I love to read but only when I'm forced to. My brain isn't equipped to focus on one thing at a time. It's always wandering.
-I think baseball is boring. Sorry to all the fans. Nothing personal.
-I don't really care if I become famous or anything but the day I record my first album will be my most valued experience. "Don't dream it, be it." - RHPS.
-I'm sagitarious and do I ever believe in horoscopes. No, actually. I don't.
-My songwriting idol is Jonatha Brooke. Check her out.
-I believe everyone has a soul mate. Somewhere out there....
