I love to '''[[Blues Dancing|blues]]''' and '''[[Swing Dancing|swing]]''' dance socially and in my living room. I am what you could call a music lover, primarily for that with an electronic or blues-y influence.  Moby and Nina Simone are at the top of my list. Hiking is one of my favorite activities, and the Portland area is such a great place for it (when it's not raining).
