I'm a native California transplanted in the South. That means I have a liberal mind, love the sun, can make a good mole and salsa verde, will throw up my "W" when Dre and Tupac come on at the club...but it also means I love the leaves changing in the fall, enjoy a good Southern breakfast of biscuits, gravy, and grits, listen to country music and say "Ya'all". My job is very important to me, and some may call me a workaholic, but I feel it is my calling and I am grateful for having found something I am passionate about and that gives me a sense of joy and satisfaction every day I am at work. Unfortunately, my job has a downside. Cystic fibrosis is still considered a "terminal illness". While I do know people with CF in their 40's, 50's, and 60's, I also seen it take precious young lives. I am in charge of several fundraising events this year for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, including three GREAT STRIDES walks. I know that many of you support other causes or have given to me and my causes in the past, but I am asking that you consider a donation in memory of Michael Jones and in honor of 30,000 people still struggling with this disease. You can make a donation by simply clicking the link below or typing http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/KirstenBlack4673 into your web address bar. If you are unable to make a donation, please consider volunteering with a CF Foundation event in your area. There are plenty of ways that you can be of service, and it would mean a great deal to me. Thank you for your friendship and your support! These are some of my favorite things... Get Your Own! | View Slideshow I am on this site to stay in touch with current friends and reunite with some old ones. I am not here to hook up or to try to set the record for the most "myspace" friends. I use it for work (yes, really I do) and to take an occasional break during a hectic day. I actually know or have talked to everyone on my page (save a few musicians/artists that I really would LOVE to meet), so do not send me a friend request without making conversation with me...and if you don't seem like someone I'd be friends with offline, you won't be on MySpace either. I am not against meeting new people, but if I wouldn't hang out with you in real life, I wouldn't add you to my friends list! I love to take pictures - here are some of my favorites. Send me a message and tell me which ones are your favorites! ..(I am donating some to our various auctions at the CF Foundation, so I am taking a poll).. They are also available for sale if you see something you'd like to hang on your walls. :-)
