Just call me Brace-Face!

About Me

Ok, where do I start? As you can tell already my name is Andrea. I graduated from Florida State University this past spring and I miss school so much! I'm hoping to go back one day for grad school... Not ready just yet! My interests range from Nascar to expensive shoes to music and everything in between! I'm a true Southern girl, born and raised here in Tally. I did manage to escape the southern accent, though (Thank goodness!). Umm... Let's see... My best friend and roommate is Brandi (Check the top 8). We've been friends for about 13 years and I can't really imagine my life without her in it. She's the one who tells me the truth even when I don't wanna hear it (And she's usually right!). I have a teacup chi-chi named Hercules. He's only 5 pounds but he's the CUTEST thing ever! Because I'm from Tallahassee I am a true Seminole!!! Football has been in my blood since birth and I never miss a game, even if it's just watching it on TV. I recently started a new job as a recruiter for Maxim Healthcare and I LOVE it!!! I can see myself going somewhere with this company. The people I work with are awesome and those above me are doing all that they can to help me get promoted and to succeed. Having a real job finally makes me feel like a grown-up! Umm... I was raised Southern Baptist and God is a part of my life. A lot of people these days have other views and ideas about religion, but that's where I am, like it or not. I pray every night, I say the blessing before I eat... So get over it! I'm Irish, Italian, and Cherokee Indian and I am very proud of all of my heritages. My father instilled in me the importance of learning about where you came from and never being ashamed of it. His family was enslaved during the civil war (The Cherokee Indian part of my blood) and he was never embarassed to say that he was the grandson of slaves. What else can I say? I have 2 tattoos. One is a froggy that's on my right hip, and the other is a Celtic know with four-leaf clovers signifying eternal luck (It's on the small of my back.). I plan on getting at least 2 more so I can pay tribute to every piece of my heritage. My next one will be an upside-down Cherokee Indian feather for my father (It's upside-down because he passed away when I was 13), and after that I'm getting something Italian for my Grandpa. Not sure what that one's gonna' be yet. But this is me, so if there's anything else you wanna know about me, just drop me a line!

My Interests

EVERYTHING! Seriously, I will try anything once. You never know if you'll enjoy it till you try it, right?

I'd like to meet:

Hmm... There are TONS of people out there I would like to meet. I do enjoy meeting new people. I believe that there is a reason why new people enter your life.

Music:

All American Rejects, Faktion, Dashboard Confessional, Snow Patrol, Kelly Clarkson, Tchaikovsky, Family Force 5, Panic! At the Disco, old stuff from Third Eye Blind... And this is just the tip of the iceburg! I pretty much listen to anything depending on my mood.

Movies:

Labyrinth (Go Bowie!!!), She's the Man (Thank God for hot soccer players!), A Night At the Roxbury, The Count of Monte Cristo, Top Gun... It just goes on and on!

Television:

Prison Break, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, I own every single season of Friends, CSI: Las Vegas, Without a Trace, Family Guy, and Scrubs.

Books:

Anything by Dan Brown, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (Never get tired of it!), The Plot Against America, The Stranger Beside Me (Everyone interested in the Ted Bundy case HAS to read it!), anything by Gregory Macguire, and lately I've been stuck on Edgar Allan Poe's short stories.

Heroes:

My Mother is my greatest hero. She went through so much trying to give my brother and me everything we ever wanted. She did it all by herself and as her daughter I couldn't be any more proud.
