About Me

found this retro layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotComments
MyHotComments :: HotFreeLayoutsLet's see, I am basically on here to catch up with old friends. One thing that I have learned about getting older is that life gets kind of hectic sometimes. Friends constantly come in and out of your life for different reasons and sometimes it is hard to keep in touch. This space is my attempt to reconnect with those friends that I have not talked to in a while. So if you run across my profile and want to chat just hit me up. I guess I can update everyone as far as what has been going on in my life. I am an alumni of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I graduated with a degree in English/ Elementary education. A year and a half ago I returned to UT to get another degree in Psychology and Women's Studies. In August I finally completed that degree. To everyone's surprise I also decided it was time to move on and get out of Knoxville after calling it home for 10 years! I have been in Georgia for about 3 months now and still get lost almost everytime I get on the road!!! I just cant handle all these loops and interstates! Other than that I am still trying to figure out what Licole really wants out of life. I think this sums up the important stuff. If there is anything else that you want to know just ask. So whether you are a friend from my hometown, Cookeville, or an old friend from UT just let me know if you want to chat or catch up!

Another badass quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?

MY RESULT: Dream Girl


You’ve got it all – affection, a cool head, a positive attitude, and all that other stuff that guys want their girlfriends to have.

You’re light-hearted, fun, romantic and not too sleazy – a great combination. When you start a relationship, there’s a good chance the guy will totally fall for you, whether he intended to or not. Keep up the great attitude and you’re sure to be a heartbreaker. (Please just try to be gentle.)

You Are Most Like Carrie!
You're quirky, flirty, and every guy's perfect first date.
But can the guy in question live up to your romantic ideal?
It's tough for you to find the right match - you're more than a little picky.
Never fear... You've got a great group of friends and a
great closet of clothes, no matter what!
Romantic prediction: You'll fall for someone this year...
Totally different from any guy you've dated. Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

Books:

Their Eyes Were Watching God, Temple of My Familiar, Jane Eyre, Lovely Bones , The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and The Little Princess are a few of my favorite books. I am also reading alot of poetry these days. I forgot how a really good poem could make me feel.

You Are A Lily
You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. What Flower Are You?

Heroes:

My grandmother. She raised me so basically she was more than a grandmother more like my mom. Life hasn't been the same since she left this world. She was an amazing woman and I miss her more and more with each passing day.
You Are A Romantic Realist
You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.
And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...
But you'd never admit it to your friends! Are You Romantic or Realistic?
