Believe it or Not, there are fun things to do in Indianapolis.
I must first tell you a little about myself....well, my mom refers to me as "cultural". As a child, my most favorite music to listen to was classical. I love operas, ballets, and orchestra concerts - all forms of musical expressions. Expressions as poetry, art (drawings, photographs, and anything unique), dancing, and music I am passionate about. I also like being out in nature. In general, I dislike conflict but will address it and don't like being around loud people or loud noises. I will have a discussion with you but I will not argue with you. :-) I like some gospel music as long as it is not too loud... :-) Obviously, I am very romantic as I am sentimental and expressive. So here are just a few things in Indy that suite me and maybe you might like them too. :-)
