About Me

I just began a new job as a junior paralegal in a plaintiff's personal injury firm in Long Beach, CA. So far, it's fantastic and MUCH better than my last job.I hope to be an legal aid attorney someday, and am currently in school completing paralegal certification.I am fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful, strong mother who has been my most important role model, as well as many supportive and lovely friendships who understand my off-beat sense of humor and distate for pretenstion, wretched excesses and popluar culture icons ( i.e. Paris Hilton- she's everything that is wrong with America)I love animals, art, literature and just good old rock and roll, along with sinatra, my Italian heritage and a damned good home-cooked tray of lasagne.I'd have to say that my mantra is to give back, somehow, in this crazy, fucked up world; even if it is listening to someone that is need of a good friend. Oh! and in my experience, religion does not solve anything.Cheers to allDawn Missy D MyGen Profile Generator
