About Me

Comment Graphics and Myspace Layouts at pYzam.com

I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. (Canton represent!) I had the unfortunate experience of living in the DFW metroplex in Texas for two years and I have just recently moved to Central Oregon. The most important thing in my life right now is my brand new baby boy, Colin Joseph. I use myspace as a way to communicate with all my friends from all over the country and to meet new people in the vicinity of my newest home. There are three major things you should know before you decide to add me as your friend...1) I am a bitch. Bitch, in my book, means beautiful, intelligent, talented, creative, and honest. These five things often combine into a sense of superiority and eventually anger at those who are not at the same level. Thus, I come off as a scary and mean person, whereas I just want the people around me to act human and not like a bunch of immature assholes.2) I am a very possessive, but caring and loving friend. If you are someone I love, then everyone that fucks with you, fucks with me until the day you or I die. ALSO, if you are a true friend, you will contact me at least once a month. This does not have to be a phone call, it can be an email. I just want to know you are alive and well. If you do not contact me often, I assume you do not care.3) I am often very negative, if it isn't obvious yet. Since the majority of things I have gone through in my life have been the wrong kinds of things, I have a very, VERY hard time seeing anything in a positive light. I can come off as a huge cynic. Sometimes, it is so bad that I even get tired of myself.If you feel you can deal with all this, then send me a friend request and we'll talk it up!
