Diary of a black-white girl: Musings of a freelance writer on Xanax

About Me

Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com First of all, I've been on MySpace long enough to know that no one really reads this, but just to cover my arse, I'll state the following: I am NOT here to date, mate, blah blah blah!!! I repeat: I am NOT here to date, mate, blah blah blah!!! IF you catch my eye, TRUST ME, I'll let you know. Based on the aforementioned statement, you should know that I'm very matter-of-fact! *wink* I love reading self-help books. (Hey, there's always room for improvement in life!!)I am happily married to my laptop. It's the first thing I touch in the morning and the last thing I touch at night.PS: Barnes & Noble and Sephora are my favorite stores - books and make-up are tied for my first-loves.And....I LOVE TO LAUGH!If you'd like to know more about me, read the BLOG! :)table table table td.text div { background-image:url

My Interests

Writing, film, make-up, fashion design, music, celebrity gossip and television production. And as weird as this is going to read: I like meeting new people and observing them to ascertain what makes them loose, free, tick...AND SHOPPING!!!

I'd like to meet:

Roy Williams and the 2006 - 2007 Carolina Tar Heels Team! (Okay, enough w/my wish list!) I'd like to meet supercool, laidback people with similar interstests as mine; upbeat, positive people. Negativity is NOT in my vocabulary, or my life, for that matter! In other words, I'm NOT about DRAMA. I write about it, but it's not for me.I'm here for networking purposes and making new friends. If something happens out of that, cool--if not, cool. Hey, I'm cool either way it flows...life is easier when you can let go like that.
