*rtistry's profile:

I am a people person, I love to help people when I can. I am always being asked for my opinion on any number of things.

I live on the East coast.

What makes me tick is my insatiable curiousity and my eagerness to learn new things and meet new people.

I am currently happily single, and not looking. I like to make new friends.

I love nature and art, and the colors of fall and the ocean,

and the sound of silence. I have a passion for writing.
