I'm not necessarily looking for romance. (Haven't had a date in 7 months, but I'm ok with that). Just bored and thought I'd check this out. There was a flyer on my stake center's YSA bulletin board with this site advertised on it. The flyer itself practically dared me to check it out. So here I am...

My true passion is helping people... anybody in any circumstance... with anything. Growing up an only child and LDS in a rough-around-the-edges neighborhood, I spent a lot of time with my parents and their adult friends. As a young child I was often referred to as an "old soul"... one who possess insights and compassion more commonly found in someone much older. Don't get me wrong, I'm still young and fun... I'm just more laid back than I am wild. All of my volunteer experience and most of my work experience involves working with people with various mental and/or physical disabilities. It's what I have always done, and it will forever be a permanent part of my life.

I enjoy photography, esspecially the dark room work. (If only I could find a darkroom to rent or something.... feeling deprived at the moment.) I have pictures on here that I have taken, mostly with an old digital camera, a few with a so-so SLR I've had for a few years. I also enjoy playing the piano, have been for 15 years. Walking through cemetaries I have found to be a relaxing "hobby" if one could call it that... just something I enjoy on a sunny day.

I love music. I listen to all kinds of music, I honestly don't have a preference as to what genre. I've been playing the piano for 15 years and find it the best medicine for any ailment. While in highschool I taught piano lessons as an after school job, and now I only teach on a volunteer basis. It's more enjoyable to teach for free.

Laugh if you want to, but rollerskating is one of my favorite things to go and do. I grew up rollerskating with my dad all the time and it is near and dear to my heart. I also enjoy fishing (another daddy-daughter favorite). The best part is the light conversation and bonding while waiting for a bite, and the second best is cleaning the fish. I like to get dirty, it's fun. God made me washable, might as well get good and gross before scrubbing down.

My favorite hisotrical moments to learn about are the Civil War, and the Holocaust. Other than those, I'd say my most hated subject to learn about is history. My favorite would be... English. I love to read and write... ooh, and I'm one mean editor too!
