I'm gonna pistol-whip the next guy who says shenanigans.

About Me

Not a whole lot to say here. I'm an open book. What you see is what you get with me, I guess. I love Ireland and being Irish. It's a huge pride thing, I suppose. There's also quite a bit of German in there, so I guess I'm technically German-Irish (Germish as I like to call it). I hope to tour Europe one day; I've vowed to not have children until I've seen Europe.
I grew up in a small town and got the heck outta there as soon as I graduated from high school, but sometimes I really miss it. I'd go back if there were more opportunities there, but nepotism/favoritism is the only way to get into a job worthwhile, especially in my field.
I'm aspiring to get my CPA license. I just need to take a few more accounting classes, an ethics class, and some other random classes to meet the 150 hour requirement and then I'm set! Of course, I have to do the Becker review; I won't step foot into an exam room without doing the Becker.
Like I said, not a lot of mystery with me.
Here are some random quiz results that I took!
You are Betty Grable
The ulitmate girl next door
You're the perfect girl for most guys
Pretty yet approachable. Beautiful yet real. What Famous Pinup Are You?
You scored as Angel. Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.
