About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
What is there to know about me? Well I can't be summed up in a small paragraph. I'll try to give you the short version:
*I have a BA in Sociology from Winthrop University but I don't know what I really want to do with it as a career.
*I have a type B personality-very laid back and easy going
*I love beaches, but I rarely visit them because of the long drive. Its just a peaceful place to relax. I love the smell and the sound of the waves. I have tons of seashells that I have collected from various beaches in SC.
*I love to sing-its my only talent. I currently sing with the adult choir at church and I love karaoke.
*I like to cook. I'd love to take a cooking class someday to expand my cooking knowledge.
*I love the color blue-esp royal blue. Sapphires are my favorite gemstone.
*I love photography. I take pictures of everything esp landscapes. Im going to upgrade to a digital SLR someday
*I love reality tv..normal people doing crazy stuff with no script. Its quite entertaining.
I usually don't add people I haven't met at least once. I know almost everyone in my friendlist except for a few rare exceptions.
