About Me

I'm an old soul. ****************** I'm in graduate school, preparing to become a Soc prof. I can't wait to be Dr. Donna. That will be cool. It is just all the work between now and getting my first real job. ************** ok, enough of that... ************* What else about me, I'm sarcastic, a loyal friend, I don't put up with much (I mean people's sh*t - I have a tendency to be brutally honest), smartass (better than a dumbass)... *********************************************************** read my blog "what's my sign" that will tell you a lot about who I am... *************************************** *********************** Check out these FREE Ringtones!

I'd like to meet:

People who are dead: Janis Joplin, my dad, his dad, - I'll have to think on that one some more.********************************************People who are living: Non-annoying people, unfortunately that requires a filtering mechanism yet to be developed...so it is only after I meet those f*ckheads I figure it out...
