Blogging is another big one. I have a couple of blogs, Voodoo Jive and Ornery Woman being a couple of them besides my blog here on MySpace - please stop by and check them out...click the link on the banner ads below.
I'd like to meet:
Down-to-earth people with good hearts, good minds, and who like to party and have fun - as long as it's not at someone else's expense.
I love to meet new people, but please drop me a note before you just add me...If I add folks on here it's because there is a connection - be it literary, mental, because we dig each other's sense of humor as seen on our pages, the mutual appreciation for things...you get the idea. Think about it: if you want to come into someone's house, you knock on their door first and introduce yourself, eh? Most likely, I'll say howdy doo and invite you in.
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NOT ADD YOU IF YOU DO NOT ADD A NOTE. IF YOU ARE ALREADY A FRIEND, THIS APPLIES TO YOU AS WELL, FOR I WON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT USER NAME. I DON'T EVEN LOOK AT FRIEND REQUESTS UNLESS I GET AN EMAIL STATING WHO THE HELL THEY ARE.
Not to be a jerk, but that's just how it is. I've been on here nearly 5 years and I'm up to my ass in spam.
