Spiral Bound

My name is Meredith.

These are some things I love:

• Music. All kinds. Though, from the looks of my iTunes library, mostly alternative. I’m not sure what they mean when they say alternative. I suppose it’s all the music they can’t fit in anywhere else. I love lyrics, too.
  
• Marching band. Specifically Blue Thunder. Also, pit orchestra. You know, for musicals.
  
• Beautiful images. Paintings, sketches, photography, just a framed bit of the world.
• Chocolate.
• French horn, cello, and jazz piano.
  
• Houses. Floor plans. Blueprints. Attics. Secret passageways and rooms. Nooks. Interior design. Ladders, built-in bookcases, furniture, front doors, lofts, and tree houses.
• The ocean. Especially the bit located next to Oregon.
• Roman Numerals.
  
• White mochas.
• Sporks.
  
• The forest next to the ocean.
• Color.
  
• The smell of rain and the thrill of thunder.
• Keys without locks, candlelight, quill pens, wax seals, wood stain, bicycles tricycles and unicycles, umbrellas, books, cameras, the darkroom, photoshop, bags, hippy and gypsy clothes, hats, scarves, mittens, ellipses, converse, scrapbooking paper, altered books, photo journalism, tiny trinkets, hot air balloons, fairies, mermaids, sketchbooks, pencils, boxes, etc. etc. etc.

These are some things I don’t love:

• Math.
• Tomatoes.
• Talking on the phone.

Other than that, I am double majoring in music and illustration at Boise State University. I’m still not sure what to do after I graduate in two years. Learn to bake and decorate wedding cakes? Play horn in the London Symphony? Photo journalism for Hollywood? Storyboard art for Pixar? Illustrate books and design CD covers? Serve fries at McDonalds? Most likely.
