I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm just a laid back Kentucky girl. I'm pretty easy to talk to and make friends easily. I've got a great sense of humor and appreciate that above most anything else other than loyalty and honesty. I hate dishonest and shady people or people who try to be someone they are not.
I just enjoy having fun and am probably a bit immature for my age. I think I may have the maturity of a 15 year old - and that's on a good day.
I'm a self admitted dork but hey - it's all in fun. I just kind of do what I do and if people think I'm weird - oh well, their loss.
I'm a huge UK fan and love to follow the 'Cats! That is my passion and hobby - tailgating, watching football and basketball in person or on TV - that's pretty much what I do.
I spend waaaay too much time on the internet but I've met some really cool peoples that way. Kentucky.rivals.com - visit the Paddock and GYERO, or www.wodiecrew.com - cool UK sites.
The songs on the below playlist are there because I felt like listening to them at the time I downloaded them. I plug in my headphones on my work computer then hit play on my myspace.com playlist.
Yes - I know half the songs suck and the others are cheesey '70's and '80's songs but I really don't give a ****! I know I have horrible music taste - that's just ME!

My Interests

UK basketball and football
Tailgating
UK Message Boards (rivals.com)
GYERO
Reading (I read all the time)
Cooking
Boating and swimming
Karaoke
Hanging with friends
Red Wine

Beer

One final tribute to our "Mr. Wildcat" - pay close attention about the 34 second mark!

Music:

Oh lord - I love all kinds of music. I'm a big fan of old classic country, some new country, classic rock, hard rock, old school rap, disco, Broadway Show Tunes, I even love Barry Manilow! I like pretty much everything but Techno - that just gives me a headache.

Of course I love all '80's music - especially 80's New Wave.I was Righteous!

Shhh - don't tell anyone but I'm secretly addicted to reality TV - really bad reality TV no less!
