Hey! Can we party later?

About Me

I'm just the typical 24 year old. Working hard and partying on the weekends. I live in a town of about 12,000 people so there isn't a whole lot to do but we definitely have fun anyway. I like candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach. Ha, just joking. I actually like summer and anything to do outdoors during the summer, yes even mowing the lawn. I like to go swimming, going on float trips, fishing, sun tanning, riding the four-wheeler, and just enjoying the nice weather. I work at the hospital here in town and it's the first job that I actually love. If I wouldn't have started working there, I wouldn't have realized that I wanted to go into nursing and I'd probably still be trying to find a job with my MU degree that really hasn't done me a whole hell of a lot of good. I like meeting new people and hanging out and having a good time.

My Interests

I have lots of interests. I like summer (as previously described in detail), I like working in the emergency room and seeing all the cool bitten off ears and severely broken bones. I like to read, I love being around my nieces and nephews (I have 6 total), I like shopping, going on dates, getting a really good kiss, surprises, watching scary movies, and the feel of Christmas. My complete disinterest...talking on the phone. I absolutely hate to talk on the phone. Hate it.

I'd like to meet:

Some of my ancestors. I'm one of those people who is always wondering what came before me and how my family got to where they are.

Music:

Mostly rap and hip hop. Something that gets me pumped up and gets me dancing. I like some country but I'm pretty selective about it. I also like the good 70's stuff like AC/DC and CCR and yes, I also like cheesy 80's music.

Movies:

Previously Old School but this section has been recently upgraded to TALLADEGA NIGHTS! Gotta love Will Ferrell.

Television:

The only 2 shows that I religiously watch and am hardcore addicted to: Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. Nothing better than Sunday night TV!

Books:

Favorite: Memoirs of a Geisha. I have now read it 3 times and it still never gets old.
