About Me

As time changes and as I do, so does this section. So, what has changed about me? Let's see...This last semester I dropped out of MTSU because of finances, but am looking to re-enter for the Fall semester. I have yet to determine my major, yet English and Anthropology are my two contenders. I plan on obtaining my master's and ph.D. in one of these fields and pursuing a career in academia...yes, I know I have a FEW years ahead of me. I am a pagan and my spirituality plays a significant role in my life. You don't have to agree with my religious beliefs, but I do ask that you RESPECT them. I am currently working at Lowe's in my hometown, but would like to relocate to Murfreesboro for my final two years of undergraduate studies. I think of myself as a hopeless romantic and this has led to a broken heart on a few occasions. Is there possibly someone out there who could love and respect me as a lover/partner and as a person? Who knows...Anyway, I like practicality and simplicity. My favorite place to enjoy company and friends is at a cozy, quaint cafe or coffee house. A nice mocha and good conversation is all I need. I can be quite serious, if the mood is needed, or I can be sporadic and fun-loving also. I think this gives you a good overview of me; if you have any questions or would like to have, send me a message. --Peace, love and all that jazz...
