Hi, I'm Amber- fun, sarcastic, caring, mother....ummmm a bit of a nerd, but who isn't. I used to be a bit of a wild child back in the day, but have since settled down. I still enjoy a good night out, but I also enjoy just hanging around home with a good book or movie. Just looking for good people.

Well, most importantly, I am a mother of a wonderful little 6 year old boy. He is super cute! Requires a lot of time, but I am more than willing to give it.
I currently work as an applications chemist for a company that makes analytical instruments. I suppose I am a nerd, but it is really interesting work.
I plan to go to grad school in the spring to work on my master's in engineering in the materials science field.
In the midst of all this I try to find time to go to concerts, meet up with friends, or work with some ceramics. Currently, I am working on building my own potter's wheel and kiln! At least I am trying to. =)

Logically finding a solution to a problem. Designing/organizing a space. And talking (not public speaking so much as just talking a LOT, so consider yourself warned)! Also, giving great advice to friends, and just ok advice to frienemies.

probably that I talk too much.

My son
Friends/family
music
freedom
libraries/books
curiosity

the future, where I am going to dig out my clay, work, whatever I'm reading at the time, eating healthy, exercise, bills (unfortunately), and the many many things on my to do list.

watching scooby-doo and playing games with my son. I could try to say something cool or hip, but figured that being honest is probably best.

I was once taken to the emergency room (pre-school) to have a bean removed from my nose. (couldn't think of anything else I would be willing to admit)

if you want to. Friends or otherwise. As I said, I'm just looking for good people.
