about me
I've often said that people are like diamonds; you may think you see everything at first glance, but once you take a deeper look, you usually find an endless brilliant spectrum of shimmering lights and beautiful colors. There are also always flaws. Every diamond has what we term a "flaw", but what we hopefully learn is that those flaws are part of that diamond's natural beauty and uniqueness; it's part of what gives its own special splash of color and light.

That said, here are a few of my sides: I start out with a shy side, but once I know someone it usually fades into my sometimes serious, sometimes goofy sides, heehee! I have a clown side and a serious, deeper-thinking analytical and empathetic one. I care about others and sometimes give almost *too* much of my time away to help, to teach, to lead when necessary, or even just to listen & lend a shoulder. I prefer one-on-one, deeper relationships & friendships to a room surface-level friends.

I love dancing, singing, clowning and thinking hard. I love figuring things out. I love climbing things. I love making up stories. I love watching film and theater. I love the outdoors, nature, wildlife and animals in general. I love all pets but especially cats, dogs & horses. For some reason I bond really well with other people's cats! I'm a total idealist and romantic. I love the arts and try to be more artistic and creative, yet ultimately I feel I'm probably best as a scientist (so perhaps am not using my talents to the best of my ability). I love traveling and exploring, adventuring. I'm passionate. I want to finally make my own film but fear failure like you wouldn't believe. My talents REALLY shine once I am helping someone else on their project, but when I focus on my own needs I guess I freeze. Go figure! I consider grad school, but I'm yet unsure of which direction. I'm very passionate, and I'm most naturally a physically expressive person.
