About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Hearts & diamonds oh my!

My name is Candace and I'm 34 years old, living in Gainesville, Florida. I love Gator football, watching LSU lose, listening to music, thunderstorms, coffee, watching TV and movies in my pjs, going to the beach, partying, and all that I have listed here.
I'm a sexy, friendly, fun, and otherwise delightful girl. I'm a little eccentric, quite intelligent, and happily eclectic. I can be moody and depressed and OCD at times so deal with it, I am forgiving of other people's "flaws" to an extent. It's our "flaws" that make us all unique and loveable.
I have lived in Florida and San Diego for the last 11 years because I don't like snow very much and I love the south !!! I was born and raised in Ohio close to the border of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) and West Virginia (Wheeling), but I relocated to the south in 1996 and I'm never leaving again (probably not)!!! I have a great interest in history and the US Civil War; I've been to Gettysburg, PA twice as well as Antietam, Maryland. I'd like to visit Olustee down here in Florida. I'd really like to visit New Orleans. I especially love the deep south and have driven all over it and visited Georgia and Alabama a few times. I've also driven cross country alone twice. What a trip, literally.
I graduated from CCHS in 1991 and from JCC in 1994 and have my AA in accounting. (I also went to SHS for two years). My parents and my best friend still live in Ohio. I was married for 6 years (am divorced now) and am still good friends with my ex-husband.
I have had a lot of adventures and ups and downs in my life. I currently live with two roommates and work in Gainesville. I would like to go back to school next year to get my bachelors in accounting or I might study something else, I'm just not sure. I'm interested in psychology.
My website is www.eye-candi.net if you'd like to read some of my poetry or see more pictures. I don't write much anymore but I used to in my early 20s. I've been into amateur web design since about 1999.

I'd like to meet:

People who are genuine and nice, online or off. If I added or accepted you it's because I think we have something in common or I thought you were interesting =D I love to exchange comments and blog comments, so please don't be scared to add me. Also please read below:

I don't use any messengers. I'm not looking for anyone. The guys I've dated this year alone have been enough for me to try to figure out and I'm not up for anything else right now, plus I want to focus on my work and enjoy the holidays without drama. I have this page for *fun* because I love to comment back and forth and make friends.

I *would* like to meet Dave Matthews, John Cusack, and Urban Meyer, though. ;)

I love all my friends, both online and offline. I will always try to be a good friend to those who let me. Many of my online friends have treated me better than people who I've called my friends IRL. Please add me :-) and comment me, and I'll comment back. Have a great day!

I don't mind horror but I thought The Hills Have Eyes was way scarier than The Ring. I love John Cusack and can't wait to see his next movie out in November !!!

Books:


I love reading and collecting books. My favorite used bookstore in Gainesville is Books Inc. My favorite books are "The Stand" (long version) by Stephen King and "The Devil Wears Prada". I'll read anything from chic-lit to horror. Some of my other favorites are "Running With Scissors", "Dry", "Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married", "She's Come Undone", "I Know This Much Is True", "8.4", "The Next Big Thing", "Flowers In The Attic", "Saving Karyn", "Shopaholic" series, "Into The Wild", "War Day", "The Making of Minty Malone", "The Trials of Tiffany Trott", "Cell", "Misery", "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon," "Into Thin Air", "The Coming of the Global Superstorm", "102 Minutes", and others that I'll list. A book has usually got to make me laugh out loud or scare me. I've read a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz, Sophia Kinsella and Marian Keyes, as well true crime, ... I love Anne Rule and have a rather large true crime collection. I love used bookstores :D I also like to read the Psalms in the Bible once in awhile. (I'm an agnostic Christian and a Baha'i after much soul searching earlier this year.) I'd like to read "Everything's Eventual" by Stephen King next.

Heroes:

God. My parents who brought me into this world.
My best friend Donna for helping me when I most needed it.
Lewis Black for making me laugh.
John Stewart for keeping me updated on political affairs ;)
My ex-husband for helping me above and beyond what he had to do.
The people who do my laundry at the wash and fold.
