Help me, Lord....

I am here for Friends

About Me

Let's see.... Important stuff first---- * my name is Courtney, please don't call me Court unless you have obtained prior permission. A select few people are allowed to call me C-dub and Mistress C. If you are unsure which you group you belong to, ask me and I will be happy to let you know.* I live in Virginia, in the middle of nowhere. I like it most of the time, but it gets boring.* I went to college for a while and while I picked a pretty fun school, college wasn't really my thing. My new goal is culinary school.* I am a Christian, I'm a member of a Methodist church but I don't place that much value on denomination. A lot of political issues are kind of hard things for me to pinpoint how I feel on them. I used to be very much pro-choice, but now I"m not so sure. I think life is sacred, which means I'm opposed (most of the time) to both abortion and the death penalty...so I guess you could call me a liberal with some conservative values thrown in.*I'm most attracted to black men...nothing anyone says is gonna change that, so please don't send me nasty messages about "having pride in my race" and things like that. I have pride in my race, but that doesn't mean that I can't be attracted to people of other races.*My AOL sreenname is Brunettegoddes85, My yahoo is good4u8507---Now some random things--- *I once met a really hot guy because he was working in the produce department of the grocery store and I asked him if they had any more cherries (I seriously wanted to know! I wasn't just trying to flirt!) and I've had a special place in my heart for cherries ever since.... * The following random words make me uncomfortable: Coconut, moist, moisten, pina colada, panties, intimate, and tuba *I hate shorts and refuse to wear them. Even in the summer, even when it's 100 degrees. *I love to grow out my hair and then chop it off *I want a tattoo of a dove really bad...just workin up my nerve... *I wear flip-flops practically all the time unless it's snowing *my favorite color is purple, but I get tired of it sometimes, so my layout changes all the time. *I love kids, I want like 4 of them....

My Interests

Well, cooking obviously, because I want to be a chef. Cooking is my favorite thing to do and I think I kick ass at it. In my free time (which I don't have very much of) I like to read and just spend time with my friends and family. When I lived in a city I liked to go to clubs and stuff like that. I like to dance but I don't think I'm very good at it. I like to keep in touch with people any way I can and that was part of the motivation for getting on here. I like to watch movies and listen to music and all that normal kind of stuff. My dream is to be an Iron Chef and compete against other Iron Chefs on TV. I realize that some people may think I'm a dork for having that dream, but it is my dream and I'm not ashamed of it.

I'd like to meet:

myspace graphics

I would just like to meet anyone that is cool that would like to meet me. I'm very social and even though I'm shy at first I warm up quickly.As far as famous people, I would like to meet:*Tyler Florence, he is a chef and he is my idol. The fact that he is hot does not hurt a bit.*Ellen Degeneres, even though I am straight I think that she is an amazing woman and I realy look up look up to her.*50 Cent, I love him, I love his music, and he is very sexy.* There are a lot of famous and historical people I would love to meet too, but most of them are dead. Some of them are: Judith Strick (she was a WWII spy), Julia Child (the original TV Chef), and Edgar Allan Poe (I don't why, I mean, he was all crazy and depressed and stuff and I'm not, but I would still like to meet him).I can't think of anymore right now, but I will add as they come to me

Music:

I like most stuff....not crazy about country but there are a few country songs I like every once in a while.... I used to be a huge 50 Cent fan and I listened to him all the time, but I've kinda cooled off on that because I've realized that I'm really not ok with the way he routinely refers to women as bitches, but every so often I still like me some 50 I've recently discovered the geniuses that are Talib Kweli and Common, so I've been listening to some of their stuff recently but theres still a lot I haven't heard so I'm not sure if I can be classified as a fan or not...but so far I love them. I also really like the Black-Eyed Peas, their music just makes me happy...can't really put into words why, but it does. I'm pretty open to just about anything and the song on my profile changes frequently...you never really know what it's gonna be...

Movies:

I like most types of movies. I'm not difficult to please I suppose. My favorite movies are the Harry Potter movies, anything that has Vin Diesel in it, Baby Boy (because I love Tyrese, I like anything he's in), Save the Last Dance, Mona Lisa Smile, Saved, Old School, Sin City (even though it was kind of confusing), and lots more. I like comedies and action movies and romantic comedies. I'm not much on scary movies because I get freaked out easily. But I'll watch just about anything once.

Television:

I love the Food Network because, in case you haven't noticed, I want to be a chef. I like any show on the Food Network that involves Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence, Rachael Ray, Alton Brown, Paula Deen, or Giada de Laurentis. As for non-food network shows, I like Real World, Alias, SNL, ER, Family Guy (who doesn't love family guy?) and those home makeover shows. There are a lot of shows I enjoy but I work a lot so I don't always see them and I'm not the type of person to plan my life around TV. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Books:

I like the Harry Potter Books, the Left Behind Books, and really anything with a decent plot. I like stuff by James Patterson and Omar Tyree but I like some girly and immature books too. Some of my favortie books are those Sisterhood of the traveling pants books even though I'm a little embarrassed to admit it.

Heroes:

My sister is my hero. She is just awesome. Bobbly Flay is another one of my heroes, he is an Iron Chef. Besides the fact that I want to be an iron chef, watching him cook is just beautiful and amazing. I have lots of heroes, but I won't embarrass them all by naming them on here.
