About Me


myspace layouts :: Get this layout .
What would you like to know? :) I'm your typical American girl... I dig Johnny Depp, listen to Tom Petty, and love driving my SUV! I am kind of a complicated person but very easy to get along with. I'm honest, funny, and thoughtful. I live and love with all my heart which has led me to a state of perpetual broken-heartedness. I'm pretty stubborn sometimes-- be careful! I can be loud, but I enjoy quiet moments just as much. I cook a mean meal of spaghetti with meat sauce but I also know a few vegetarian recipes that win 'em over every time. I'm used to being spoiled. I am flirty and forward, so watch out! I work as a part-time nanny and I'm back at MCC every now and again, gettin' back into the swing of things while concentrating on my A.A.S. in Childcare. I'm looking forward to nerdy times in the library and cozy, learned nights of studying. Join me at the Y anytime!On another note, you may notice that I continue to develop my Hemp Jewelry and Accessories business, A Silver Begonia. I have been working with hemp for over 10 years n' loving it more than ever. After selling through local headshops for many a moon, I'm taking my business to the World Wide Web and art shows, festivals, etc.!! How exciting is THAT?!? :p Heheheh. Anyhow, please leave plenty of feedback and comments for me, as I'm always looking for ways to improve my art. And if you see something that you know you've just got to have, shoot me a pic comment or message-- we'll arrange your PayPal or other form of payment... you'll be sportin' some of the kindest, sharpest, long-lasting HEMP GOODS out there.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
