Musings and scribbles, no wonder I'm still down here.

BioI was born and raised in the Chicago area but have also lived in St. Louis Missouri where I met my husband, moved to Scottsdale Arizona and currently live in Atlanta Georgia. I'm a dreamer, hopeless romantic yet cynical, opinionated, perhaps jaded and long-winded. Despite all my faults, I'm a loyal friend and will go to the ends of the earth for one if I'm needed.
Music is the heart of my soul. No one but Beethoven, Copeland and Williams can ellicit goosebumps to instantly ripple across my skin. It is an amazing feeling that I cannot better put into print.
Current goings on in my life:
Soccer is my first love of sports however since I work as an Occupational Therapist and need to be physically intact (ie no broken bones) to effectively treat my patients, I had to shelf my soccer career as a goalkeeper and took up running instead. Oh, believe me I'm still accident prone, and am currently nursing an inflamed knee but I shall not be detoured too much! I've run one half marathon (Atlanta's half Thanksgiving day 2008) and am training to run the Chicago half in September. Perhaps I may be persuaded by a close friend to also do the New Orleans Half in February as a 30th birthday party to myself but we shall see how the knee feels after Chicago! Running in the big easy sounds like a great time though, tempting.
I've played the violin for twenty years, viola for ten and love it. I've been in community symphonies, was the concertmaster (first chair first voilin way back in high school), was in a few orchestra pits for musicals and had a few paying quartets but nothing really all that professional. If I could be a pro I would, but instead I'm a talented amateur violinist and have realized I'll be much more financially secure as a therapist. But that little detail doesn't stop me from accumulating some pretty hefty callouses on my left hand from the strings!
Since I've settled a bit here in Atlanta I'm considering joining a local symphony again in the fall. You'll probably find me in the viola section, since just about every group has begged me to play viola instead. Descent violinists are a dime a dozen, but a good viola player is a bit harder to come by.
Author notes:
With my head in the clouds, I figured I may as well try my hand at writing some fan fiction so when I've got all this live journal business figured out, I'll post what I've got. Some of it's fairly good, some not so much, but I'll post the successes along with the flops just for pure entertainment!
