Girl of the North Country

I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

I am not a five and ten cent woman, with nothing in my head.

I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would take me as a member.

I probably think you’re a douche bag and I’m probably right.

I’m Canadian, so don’t label me as a stupid American.

I'm a broke college student/ photographer / writer. Take pity and make a donation. :)
