About Me

I'm 22-years-old, but I've been consuming alcohol for longer than that. I mostly work at Magnolia [Best Buy], but I also have another part-time gig that really is the coolest job ever: I review all kinds of adult entertainment goodies, from movies to toys. Yeah, you know you're jealous, because your job sucks compared to mine (except maybe if you're Rog).

I love Tori Amos. Somehow I don't think that was difficult to figure out.
I have two dogs. They are the center of my life. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a little kid but that was before I realized it required chemistry and math, which can be real bitches when you have dyscalculia and can't read numbers correctly. Savannah is a German Shepherd-Brittany Spaniel mix that I've had since I was 13. Little Bit is a Pomeranian-Poodle mix who just turned six. I am thinking very seriously about getting a Sheltie in the near future.

Visit my family
I recently got engaged to a wonderful, amazing man named Barrick from California, whom I met at the National Debate Tournament. Interestingly enough, hours after we met, we were pretending to be husband and wife to scare off this dude trying to scam him for money. He's so liberal he makes me look conservative!
I understand now what love is all about. Barrick is my best friend as well as my hero, my confidant, and just my favorite person in general. We have a tendency to talk for hours about all things passionate, from politics to religion, and even manage to sneak in time for a date here and there, which is impressive when he's 1500 miles away.
He's the good-looking fellow that's spangled all over this page. And trust me, the man was born in a suit!
