About Me

Who reads this anyway?I'm living in the suburbs again after rekindling my romance with the North side again, only to realize that the majority of my friends now reside in the suburbs anyhow. Still making sure that I thoroughly enjoy my 20s, though!What else? I work hard - but I love my job - and I spend most of my free time with my fabulous friends...life is good :).OH! And if you can name the movie I quoted in my headline (WITHOUT looking it up, cheater!) I'll love you forever. YES! Forever!!!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
