About Me

Gini --
[adjective]:
Pretentiously academian
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
I've been living in Georgia since 1999, married since July 20th, 2002. FIVE FREAKING YEARS! Where has the time gone? My husband's name is Michael and we have a five year old Boxer named Darcy. We don't have any kids, except the dog, and it looks like we may keep it that way, at least for the foreseeable future.
We now live in the oh so populous area of Winder, Georgia. Yeah, Winder. But it's exactly half way between Michael's job and my new teaching job, so it works.
It is a little too close to that other school (UGA), we're only 20 miles from Athens. But I may have to get used to that since I'll probably get the rest of my degrees from the big red bulldog school. Oh well, at least they will be degrees from a well respected school, which is more important than football. Oops, did I say that in Georgia?

My Interests


~I like my brown hair and my brown eyes.

~I like all of my 64".

~I like my intellect, my sense of humor, and my punctuality.

~I like open wheel auto racing, even though my husband is so addicted to it, it makes one nauseous.

~I love the color purple, the actual color, not the movie. If I meant the movie, it would be capitalized and surrounded by quotation marks or italicized or something of that nature. And when I say love, I really mean I am obsessed with it. It's ok, I'm okay with it.

~I love my dog, Darcy. She's a reverse Brindle Boxer and she's my baby. My husband surprised me with her in a cardboard box one night at The Home Depot in Newnan about two months after we got married.

~I love my little nephew, JJ. When he's not in front of me proving it, I have a hard time believing he exists. It's just weird that my sister has a kid now. I don't know why, it just is.

~I love my sister, too. She's why I'm so damn smart. She gave me all her smarts every afternoon after she would get home from school. We would play school and she would teach me what she learned that day. It worked.

~I miss the beach. I miss Panama City. I miss cities that are laid out on a grid and are easy to navigate. What the hell is a circular highway, anyway? Perimeter, my ass. More like Asphalt Hell. I digress...

~I miss high school and college. I miss my '88 Blazer. I miss wearing a size 7. I miss liking country music. I miss the promise of youth and the feeling of immunity to getting old.

~I love to read. That's part of the reason I miss high school...I literally missed high school because I spent all my time with my nose in a book. But I do love to read. I don't read any where near as much as I used to, but I still love it.

I'd like to meet:

The person I'm supposed to be...I think she looks something like this:
