About Me

I thought when you were a "grown-up" life became less complicated, but actually it is more complicated. I am thinking of going back to school because I want to incur more debt. I like talking with people about life. I never have enough money. I say "dude" a lot, even though I don't realize that I do. I often wonder why I say in Dekalb when all my family and most of my friends moved away. I like being at my apartment or hanging out at my friends' houses. I like 80's movies more then music today. I saw Pat Benatar with my sister and she ROCKED! I have more questions then I do answers.
