I am here for Friends

About Me

After leaving Highlands in 1998 after high school, I graduated from UGA in 2002 with a degree in psychology and speech communications (it made sense at the time). The mothership of Atlanta sucked me back in 2003 although I do make it back up to Highlands from time to time. I've been working for a Fortune 500 company for almost 4 years now, and currently I'm a project manager in the interactive communications area, where I spend most of my time managing translations for our website, and say things like, "Well, we can't get that today because Norway has a national holiday". Although corporate America definitely has its downsides, I like the stability and it's cool to work with people all over the world.After three years OTP, I recently moved into a 97-year-old house in a transitional intown neighborhood. My neighbors include elderly church ladies in giant hats and a gay bodybuilding couple, among other characters.Last but not least, I am engaged to a wonderful guy, Jason.Life is good!

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
