[NMNiki]

My name is Niki and I've been a member since 2010, but I haven't used the site yet. I'm recently out of a long term relationship and I realized when the relationship ended that I really needed to work on building friendships of my own. I'm ready to explore the South and make new friends.

I'm an educator, I'm a student (working on my second Master's), I'm an artist (I sell jewelry and art here in Nashville), I am an animal lover and an adventurer.

I love music. Can't live without it. I really need to meet someone who will go to shows with me.

I'm reading Blueprints of the Afterlife, and it's messing me up because it is so good and strange and post apocalyptic. My next book will be Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane.

I have had Shooter Jennings' Black Ribbons album playing on a loop for 2 days (that is unusual for me.)

I don't know shit about sports.

I'm really hoping to make it to Little Rock this year!

OH and I really need to know how to upload a custom avatar. Gotta work on the whole Beaker look; I mean there is no question I'm a nerdy girl, but Beaker is taking it to unnecessary extremes.
