About Me

I'm extremely intelligent with "spontaneous flashes of idiocy".
I prefer comfort to fashion, and run around in my socks most of the time, even outside. (Yes, I go through a LOT of socks).
I'm the type of girl who will burst out laughing in the midst of dead silence at something that happened yesterday. I have a naturally happy spirit, and I tend to smile and laugh more than most people do, but it's infectious, and I'll make you do the same!
I’m told I am more honest, direct, and stubborn than most people, but a person will always know what I stand for.
I'm a coffee junkie and a music maven. I love music (no, rap is NOT music, and I don't give a DAMN what you say!). I have my stereo on 80% of my waking hours, and I'm usually swiggin' coffee all the while.
I enjoy learning and I'm very curious about just about anything. I love reading, seeing, and exploring new things. My inquisitive spirit has given me a vast wealth of totally useless information. I attend college at ASU in Jonesboro, majoring in Computer and Information Technology. Hoping to get my master's degree and eventually become a professor myself someday. In the meantime, though...
The little things make me laugh. It's hard not to please me. I'm a free-spirit, strong, and determined. I love to look at the stars, go for long walks, and indulge in long bubble baths. I still make wishes the on the stars over Wisconsin, and I'll stay up all night so I can drive to the middle of nowhere at 4AM to watch a meteor shower and make a hundred wishes a on a hundred shooting stars. I think grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Nothing lasts forever, so we should live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bullshit, and never regret, because at one point, everything we did, was exactly what we wanted...
Did I Mention?... HOCKEY ROCKS!!!
(((Go Riverkings!!!)))

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet "The One". He'd have a fabulous sense of humor, and love life. He would sing to me at random moments, no matter how bad he sounds, and slow dance with me, even when there's no music.
He'd lay back with me and count the stars, or stay home with me on a Friday night just to help me make dinner and watch movies together under the same blanket. He'd tell me I'm beautiful, but not to often.
He'd be able to laugh with me at the silly things I do (I'm a natural klutz!). He would find humor and enjoyment in the little things.
He'd respect my values and morals even if his differed from mine. He would enjoy learning about new things, and discussing them with me over coffee. He would tell me his thoughts, ideas, and opinions with ease, and want me to do the same. Basically... he'd be my best friend.

My son, who amazes me with his meanderings every single day. My Friends. They are my heroes because they love me for me, for who I am. (actually, in spite of it!)...
