    How old are you? My birthday is March 5th (I expect presents!) and if you look at when I graduated high school & college then you should be able to determine about how old I am. Are you single? No. And no, I don't need any "special friends." Where do you live? I'm in Jacksonville Florida for now. Where are you from? Well, I haven't lived in one place longer than 18 months since I turned 18 but I went to high school in Jacksonville, FL @ Stanton College Prep then college for two years in Tallahassee, FL @ Florida State University then I transferred to Northwestern University to finish out my degree in Statistics & Financial Economics so I lived in Chicago, IL until 2005 (though I finished school in 2004).
    After which I headed to Dahlgren, VA as a part of the Navy until 2006 when I was discharged honorably. Then off to Atlanta, GA for a minute and now I'm back in Jacksonville (while still traveling and dividing my time between various cities). What do you do? I do whatever it is I want to do and that mostly consists of writing -- both in the journalistic (freelance) sense and the blogging sense. I also work in public relations as a publicist.
    Every once in awhile, I engage in web design and graphic design though it's a rare case that I'll take on any more work due to my already hectic schedule.
    I also work as an ophthalmic technician and attend school full time in the hopes of being Doctor Kornika by 2012. What ARE you? Like, you know, what're your parents? Yeah ... that's complicated click here if you really want to know.
