I love books, music, history, comedy, sharing and learning knowledge and ideas, conversation, traveling. I grew up in a small town in the midwest and I love to get away from here as often as I can. I love trying new things although that wasn't always the case. I like dressing up but I love being comfortable. I work in a small gift shop with two of the best people around who put up with my clumsy self. I love fashion but I won't be a slave to it or spend all my money on it. I can be quite shy in person but I do love giving my opinion and hearing other well formed and informed opinions.
