    <description><![CDATA[I'm a very artistic person who jumps at the chance to be part of a creative moment. For instance, I love the website <a href="http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/">Learning To Love You More</a>. I sing classical art songs and opera, and I also play violin. Music is my avocation and I would love to teach children music after I finish with my career in PR (in 10 years or so).

My husband is convinced that I have to be the center of attention in any room. I like to think that I at least earn the attention with my sparkling personality :). I am a very gregarious and enjoy getting to know others. Speaking of my husband; <a href="http://izzy.typepad.com/">here's the blog that we write together</a>. Please also excuse his "inappropriate puppet" if you visit <a href="http://www.virb.com/izzymd">his virb page</a>.

Feel free to write - I look forward to meeting you]]></description>

(which she threw of the stage). More accurately, he was the first one to see where it fell and scooped it up from the floor.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Either Graphic Design is the New Number 1. Major ...or...</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/jewelsann/posts/text/15793</link>
      <description><![CDATA[But seriously, why IS everyone a Graphic Designer/Photographer/Artist? Was that some requirement to be a part of this network that I didn't notice when my boyfriend coerced me into joining? He is definitely not an Artist, at least not in the traditional sense of the word. He definitely has the aesthetic skills to be one though. Anyway - I'm really wondering if the attractive interface here on VIRB attracts graphic people or if there's another reason for the high population here on Virb. 

If anyone wants to teach me how to use illustrator - I'm open to taking private lessons. I'd really like to become a fully-functional graphic designer since I already have the Public Relations education and work in Marketing. Well, it's 2 a.m. and I should probably be sleeping rather than pondering the high quality of the graphic content on most people's VIRB pages. But if you have any info that could enlighten me on this topic - feel free to leave a note.
