Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Green is my favorite color, and has led to my being given the nickname, Emerald. I'm not that complicated. I like what I like and don't make stuff up to impress people. I like meeting people whose work I admire and who interest me, whether or not they are famous. I'm not above a little bragging if I meet the famous types, but hey, why not? :) I love horses and dogs and music and people who can make me laugh...
