I know I am not perfect

About Me

Born/ raised in Pittsburgh, I am not a yinzer but I love my city. I recently bought my own house and got my life together. I work at a law firm downtown as a paralegal. My days are hectic. I like to go places with my friends and have a good time. My new kick is to try something every day that I normally would not do. So far, it's been a good idea!!I like music of all kinds please check out UNSUNG. His tunes rock the clock.I love Steeler football, I am a real fan, but then again what Pittsburgher isn't? Bill, enjoy NC if you even think about the Brownines after your year off...shame on you!!I like to be a good person. It bothers me when those around me are not nice, honest and sincere. No matter how rotten someone has been to me I still can't help but care. That's just how I am.I used to care that I wasn't one of the cool kids, but now, who cares. I am who I am. I like being smart. I like being shy. I become outgoing once I get to know people.
