1. An imaginary remote paradise on earth; Utopia.

Hello and welcome to my own personal hideaway on the internet. This journal hosts of my thoughts, musings, artwork, icons, writings as well as an occasional bit of nerdiness over one thing or another (usually art, theatre, or history). I also urge you not to be shy and feel free comment on anything here- I'm always looking for new people to chat with on the internet!.
Searching the Waves for Love

Birthday: Sept. 28
Occupation: Graphic Designer/Illustrator
Colors of Choice: Blues and Violets
Personality Type: INFP
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Enneagram: Type 4
Languages Currently Studying: German, Spanish (I'm quite rusty though)

A Bit of Elaboration: I'm a young woman currently living in Virginia, USA. I'm currently working as a Graphic Designer, but my real love is Illustration- which I create in my spare time. I've always had slightly nerdy, bookworm tendencies so you may see me write about a great book or a fantastic piece of art every so often. Currently, I've been very enamoured by stage musicals- particularly European ones. I should also mention that I'm a bit of a dreamer- in both the literal and figurative sense. In other words, you can expect some crazy dream posts from me.

.The Tears Crystallizing into Her Design
I have an ever-changing list of top-favorite "likes", but here's a small sampling for you:

Music: Let's just say I'm extremely eclectic with music. I like almost anything. My faves include Nightwish, Muse, L'ame Immortelle, Vanessa Carlton, Judy Collins, Within Temptation, etc. etc.
TV: Law and Order: CI, Doctor Who, The Twilight Zone (classic only), and many other shows that are no longer on air
Theatre: Elisabeth (musical), Tanz der Vampire, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, 1776
Old Movies: Rebecca (1940), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), The Women (1939?), Sabrina (original), Sorry Wrong Number
Authors: Neil Gaiman, Daphne du Maurier, Jane Austen, E.A. Poe, Janet Evanovich
