young broke & fabulous

definition of a Jersey girl
"She's humble, but ambitious. She's independent, but family-oriented. She likes eating pizza, drinking beer, having great hair, & wearing lots of mascara, but don't think for a moment she's not sophisticated. Jersey girls are about attitude. She's got a mouth on her. She says what she means. A Jersey girl is crunchy on the outside & soft in the center. She has the tenacity & drive of a New Yorker, but with the beauty of warmth, & humility that being from Jersey is all about. She's got a nice, cheerful laugh. She's spunky & witty, & she handles competition very well. She's got confidence. Whatever work she does, she gives it her all.
Bottom line: she's sexy as hell & if you're lucky, she's yours."

me, in a nut-shell
chances are i didn't like you when i first met you
[chances are you didn't like me, either...]
but you learn to love me, it's just the way it goes
my friends are my family
those who i hold most dear, i can count on one hand
[and that's more than a girl can ask for]
i'd do almost anything if i knew it would make you smile
it's who i am
if you can make me laugh, then you have my heart
i've been let down more times than I care to count
i'm a firm believer in karma and she's quite the bitch
i'm not here to tell you what you want to hear
i love slow and deep
without trust, there is nothing
i believe there is one person out there for everyone
i have a love-hate relationship with makeup...
[what a brilliant way of masking our insecurities]
i contradict myself at times
[but only when it comes to matters of the heart]
i do believe in God, i don't believe in organized religion
i always have a bigillion songs in my head
i tend to get quiet when i'm upset
challenge me, i'm good at pushing you away
i talk before i think sometimes
i try to smile at everyone i pass
[a stranger's kindness can make a difference in your day]
i have a very low tolerance for those who speak in ?'s
i'm an aspiring fashion designer
[you will hear my name again in the near future]
