It's My World, You're Just Living In It

About Me


I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
I've been told that girls are either pretty or smart, if this is true, then I prefer to be thought of as smart.
I have never voted for an American Idol.
I have voted for an American President.
I talk too much.
I have an amazing family.
I like to travel more than anything else in the world.
I'd rather read than watch TV.
I read a lot.
I have a vivid imagination.
I cry during movies, tv shows and occasionally commercials.
I like to cook.
I love to bake.
I have a passion for pastries.
I hate cilantro.
Whenever I open a bar of chocolate I feel like Charlie looking for the golden ticket.
I am a shopoholic.
I like to sing along to the radio. Loudly.
I like the people who sit down on the floor of the self-help aisle in Barnes and Noble and begin reading immediately.
I hate ignorance.
I hate stereotypes.
I have the most beautiful niece

My Interests



Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
-Maya Angelou

I'd like to meet:

I don't really want to meet anyone, I'm only on here to keep in touch with people I already know.

I thought I'd been a lot of places until I saw it like this, it just comfirms that there is so much left for me to see.

Music:

Country. I love country music. I've been told that this too makes me a dork. I don't care, I like what I like. Other than that I'll listen to anything that doesn't give me a headache....i.e. screaming music.

Movies:

Yes, I love typical girly cheesey movies......I can't help it, I'm a girl and this is the way I am. Some of my favorites are How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Mean Girls, Sweet Home Alabama, The Notebook, Pride and Prejudice, Love Actually....you get the idea.

Television:

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do religiously watch Gilmore Girls and Grey's Anatomy. If I'm really bored and out of good books, I flip on TLC.

Books:

I LOVE to read, it's pretty much my favorite thing to do. I read approximately 1.5 books per week, they love me at Barnes and Noble. I mostly read Chick Lit.

Heroes:

My Family.
-My mother who helps to educate the troubled youth that is our future.
-My father who risks his life to save others .
-My brothers who inlisted in the US Navy during a time of war to defend a country they believe in.

Things not to say if you work in customer service

After having the maybe 17 year old at the Starbucks drive-thru call me "Sweetie," I've composed a list of things you should avoid calling people if you work in any sort of customer service job.  ...
