About Me

I am so lovable you should just stop reading right now and send me a message begging to be my friend...No really, I am...and you should.
Alright, well if you Must have a little more info to verify what im saying is for real... I'm a laid back type of person that likes to have fun. My goal is to avoid stress at all costs. Love to relax, have a good time. My education is book and street with more taken from one side or the other dependent upon the situation. I can talk about a variety of topics and make sense. My sense of humor goes from silly to dry, smart to completely nuts. I'm not the type of person you can put in a box and say "She's a ---". I'm ecletic, eccentric, unique, and one of a kind.
You can have a good time with me or you can talk to me about something serious and I listen, for real, not just the "uh-huh, yeah??? oooh okay"... I can listen and be interested in something you like even if I Don't like it. Why?; because I like to see friends excited and animated about something, seeing their heart is in it. You could call me an empath to a certain degree. I'll put myself in your position and try to feel what you feel; to understand where you're coming from... and that naturally leads me to say that I'm very friendly...I truly like to talk to and get to know people.
Now Hold Up...before you think its all warm and fuzzies, let me just say this isn't for every person on the street. I'm down to earth and easy going true, but im no village idiot or naive youngun either. Some people have felt the need to call me a bitch, say I'm anti-social. But I'm simply not trying to deal with anyone that put out those tell-tale signals of being fake and I'll let a person know what I think if they don't seem straight up.
Can't mistake my kindness for weakness. Never do I set out to hurt someone for no reason, but I certainly believe in the "Don't start none, won't be none" principle.
What's for Real, that I could've just said from the jump? I've got a ton of great qualities and admit to some not so great too. But underneath everything, everyday and all the time, I'm just a good person trying to live life to the best of my ability. People who live their lives in constant pursuit of perfection are doomed to be perpetually unhappy. I'd much rather just be as happy as I can be being me.

My Interests

A box to put your interests in is ridiculous for the average person. When you really give it some thought, there are too many to be sitting around typing out.
Well...My children are Priority Number 1.
With how quickly time passes, you can't help but keep them first and foremost. Heaven forbid I slip and miss something that I'll never get back. Plus they're Sooooo Amazingly Adorable - Look ;P...

annnd we're back... Family is extremely important of course, but nevertheless, I'm always conscious of keeping the "essential me" in tact. My interests are all over the place. I'd say the majority though have to do with something creative. I love to write, draw, paint, make crafts, build things (or at least attempt to), bake, cook and so on and so on...I love games that keep my mind occupied, like word games, puzzles, action and all that. I'm one of those people that could play Tetris in my sleep. Like to play cards, shoot pool...I collect Pez, Love them!...Oh I love shopping. I wish my broke ass could buy something everyday. I like surprising my family and friends with little gifts for no reason. As for myself; I'm always in search of the perfect pair of jeans...I go to museums, sightsee and travel when I can, even if its local because sometimes you can find something new in an old place, you know?...You have to talk to me for awhile to see just how many things make me go "Ohhh, I love to..." since I could go on, but I really shouldn't. Otherwise I'll never get a chance to actually DO a damn thing...

I'd like to meet:

Anybody smart, but silly...strong, but soft...easy-going, but not a pushover. I'm into real people who don't have a problem being themselves. Message me, chat with me, talk to me, Cool. Plain friend requests to boost your list...I'm not interested.

Music:

Like my personality overall, again I listen to all types. It's really a matter of mood like most people. Love hiphop, rap, R&B, classics of all types, some alt rock, modern, little jazz and blues sometimes too. First people to come to mind as favs are Mary J. Blige, Prince, Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z, Marvin Gaye, Nas, Gwen Stefani, Groove Theory, Jill Scott, Lupe Fiasco, Linkin Park, Beyonce, Velvet Revolver, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes...Another list that could go on and on...

Movies:

Face/Off, New Jack City, Lady Sings the Blues, The Usual Suspects, Clueless, Tombstone, Scarface, Never been kissed, The Godfather, The old 80's John Hughes movies :)- Just a few of the many I love...

Television:

I admit to watching a bit too much of the Boob tube (maybe because I like calling it that)... Heroes (Oh I LOVE it), the CSI's, Law and Order's, Smallville, Supernatural...Family Guy (F'in Hilarious), Wild N'Out, Drawn Together... Like some silly, over the top comedies... Some old school shows, TV-Land programming...A few reality shows that don't completely give away how Fake they are and a couple that do cause I just can't help myself Lol...Not really into the Soaps, day nor primetime, Though Noah's Arc on LOGO is Addictive and some folks would count it as one

Books:

I'm a big fan of the artful mystery-thriller, love all the twists and turns...I'll read a sappy romantic novel sometimes as long as they're not set in the freakin' 1800's and have some steamy sex scenes :P...I'm pretty open to any genre when I have opportunity, so long as it can catch and keep my attention.

Heroes:

My parents, grandparents, and all the great-greats that have made strides, however big or small, to make my life as a black woman more easy to live
