About Me

I love America, but don't like the direction it has been going. I think John Edwards should be our next President. I work in Politics, and that would never surprise anyone who knows me, or has ever known me. I love the work that I do. I am a terrible speller, but am a stickler for grammar. I am nice to everyone I meet. I would do anything for someone I loved, and go all out to help a friend. I think that it's sad that racism is alive and well in America, and I have no patience for people who subscribe to bigotted beliefs. I am very passionate about things that matter to me, and I think you should be as well. I studied a "dead" language in college. I love Temple University and think that John Chaney is a national treasure. I love meeting new people. I hate that we live in the wealthiest country in the world, yet poverty is rampant. I am single, and happy about that. I love my family and my pets.
