I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

.. I like board games and Sensible Portions Soy Crisp minis available from Costco (yum). I consider myself a classically trained singer, even though I don't do much performing these days. I'm fiercely loyal to those I consider friends and I'm very close to my family even though they live 3+ hours away. I don't make just anybody a My Space friend, so all you just anybodies can go find some other just anybodies. No offense! Oh yeah, that reminds me, I'm very nonconfrontational generally speaking, but I can occasionally pull out a little "My Man Ain't Your Baby's Daddy" when pushed. Alright, that's enough profile for me. Thanks for stopping by!

Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.

I like to be infotained. I love a good comedy, documentary, or animated film, and I have no problem buying into the mainstream blockbuster hits.
