My first guitar was a Gibson Challenger.

I want to paint. That is probably going to sound so pretentious coming from someone who's been a musician.

I'm pretty good with languages. I know a bit of French and actually want to live in France some day so that I can get fluent. I think it'd be tragic to go through life only knowing one language.

At heart I am a librarian, a bird-watcher, a transcendentalist, a gardener, a spinster, a monk.

What happens when your dream comes true - when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?

I tend to fall for the archetypal, talented, charismatic rock boy.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.
