About Me

Hi I'm Darlene...formerly of McHenry, IL, Buffalo Grove, IL, Platteville, WI, Baraboo, WI and now the Milwaukee area. I work in TV which sounds impressive and I still get a kick out of people who are amazed by it. I have an ubersexy boyfriend, Adam, and a moron dog, Jasper. I love to read but TV gets priority most of the time. I am a videogame junkie. I like reading long rambling "about me" sections that go absolutely nowhere. I have a perverted mind. I could live on Chinese and Thai food. My parents have the same exact birthday and were born on opposite sides of the earth. If I suddenly became a vegitarian, I'd starve to death. I would wear PJ pants to work every day if I could get away with it. I am obsessed with touching fuzzy stuff. I want to pet a penguin. I just finished my Advanced NAUI Diver certification. I don't like jelly on my peanut butter sandwiches. I'm claustrophobic. I like going to the theatre. I don't mind going to a movie by myself. Stovetop popcorn is the best especially when lightly salted. I have 10 piercings (9 in ears) and 3 tattoos. One of the tattoos is a ladybug named "Killer". My favorite flowers are blue roses. My favorite scent is Pretty in Pink from Victoria's Secret. I am obsessed with Harry Potter. My favorite birds are penguins. I drive a manual car.
