No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care

About Me

Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
I grew up on a dead end road on the side of a mountian in NY, and have been our searching for fun ever since I left home. I was born the child of a firefighter, and it rubbed off on me....sometimes it drves me nuts to not be a firefighter anymore, but living where I am right now, it's just not possible. Not sure if I miss fires more or EMS.... kinda thought I was gonna be a trauma junkie there for a while, but nursing cured me of that. I volunteer when I can, but it sometimes doesn't feel like enough...
I call NC home for now, after visiting western NY, Washington DC and Northern VA for extended periods of time. I work as a NICU nurse (neonatal intensive care) and play landlord in my spare time. I love the ever changing challenges at the hospital. Working with tiny babies can be very sad sometimes, but also extremely rewarding.I work primarily 2nd shift, which sucks for social ife, but then I live in central NC, so I'm not really missing much of anything... I write my work schedules and plan lots of long weekends and get out of town whenever I can, usually in search of a good band or a fun party with friends
Music is what I fill all my free time with... always have a hundred or so CDs in the car, and have Media Player making some kind of noise on my PC, and sleep with the stereo on pretty much every night. I've been a Springsteen fan since I was about 14 years old, and through the magic of Bruce Springsteen, I have come to love many musical sounds, and have sought out bands from all over the place to fill my musical needs. Not sure how long I will stay in NC (already been here longer than I thought I would)and not sure where I'll end up next.I love to see what it is the world has to offer me.
I love sports!!! I watch more than I play these days, but hey, such is life! If I could I'd still play more volleyball and tennis and even some football in the fall...and I live for the day someone lets me drive their racecar for a lap or two around a real track (yeah, I have a bit of a lead foot, you could say)and since I don't play as much as I want to, I do make sure to hit the gym a couple days a week... lift weights and run a few miles.
I live life passionately and love deeply... which can be a great way to experience the world... sucks when you have your heart broken though... oh well...
