i recently moved to the tampa area from chicago. i like to cook, take pictures, explore new places, make websites, scrapbook and listen to live music. i drink beer and sometimes wine - nothing too fancy. i have an active mind and like to stay busy. love to go camping and hiking. i laugh at myself every day because i am a dork and get myself into amusing situations. when in doubt, i make a new playlist on my iPod.
