I enjoy Sufjan Stevens. I am a tax accountant. I love running. I enjoy eating protein-packed edibles. I live out west. I just moved further north. I used to live in Los Angeles before moving to Portland. I like being close to nature. I grew tired of living in the city. I think Ireland is a beautiful place.
I used to be a veterinarian but I quit my job so that I could pursue my passions. I am a vegan. I sing old jazz and Irish ballads. I am half-Irish. I am from New Orleans. I live in Paris. I am not certain if I want to live here permanently. I love Paris for its culture and its beautiful architecture. I have considered living in Ireland, I have some distant relatives living there. I like to sing in Irish. I learned Irish from my Grandpa. I learned a couple of Irish songs to sing growing up. I find singing more of a hobby than a job. I don't plan on having kids at the moment. I might change my mind in the future.
I was searching for some songs a couple of days ago to listen on my runs, and I ended up finding a couple of Irish songs to listen to. Have you heard of the Wild Rover before, and have you sung it to somebody before? I've heard the song but have never sung it.  It's more of a man's song, and I like to do the more ballady ones. Ok, do you sing more Irish or Jazz ballads? I tend to sing old Irish ballads.  It's not for everyone, but I enjoy it.  I'm trying to learn some French songs to sing while I live here in Paris. That's pretty cool! You're so diverse! How long have you been in Paris? I've been here for about six months.  Have you ever traveled internationally?  It's been a whirlwind to adjust to all the different cultures. No I haven't. I want to but life has been so busy. How long were you a vet? I did that for almost 10 years.  I loved the animals, but I hated the people that you have to deal with.  They don't think that vets are real people with real emotions most of the time. Do you have any pets? That's awful that people are like that sometimes. No I don't have pets. I don't feel like I have enough freedom to be there for them. I don't want to leave them alone all day. Is your work load heavy all year round, or just during certain parts of the year?  I'll bet you could get a pet that doesn't require as much attention as a dog or cat.  It's nice to have the companionship of an animal. It's really bad from the first of the year until tax deadline day but it keeps me pretty busy the rest of the year as well. I will need to think it over. It does get lonely sometimes. I can only imagine.  That was another thing about being a vet that was hard.  People expected you to be on call all the time, so I didn't have a chance for any sort of social life.  That's gotten a lot better since I quit.  I've found a good group of friends to hang out with at least a few times a week at a local cafe.
