Who’s That Girl?

If you haven’t spent the past eight years following me on this website, here’s a quick rundown.

I have:

fallen in love with one boy
had my heart broken by that boy
had my heart healed by the same boy
graduated from college
bought two new cars
started my career
lived on my own
relocated eleven hours away
bought a house
adopted a dog
realized who my true friends were
drank a lot of wine
ate a lot of macaroni and cheese

I am closer to thirty than I feel and a far cry from the 20 year old girl who started this site. Currently, I live in Charleston, South Carolina by way of Philadelphia.  I’ve built a life with Steve, the aforementioned boy, and Sammy, the aforementioned dog.  We also have a bearded dragon who we never got around to naming.

I am not married and do not have children.  I do not plan on doing either anytime soon, if ever.  I don’t need you to tell me why I should.  I relish the idea that no other human relies on me to be responsible and I don’t like to share anyway.

For money, I work full time in the IT Department of a local bank, which means I know a little about everything and a lot about nothing.  As the years wear on, I’m not sure if I like it.  But it pays the bills and that’s all that matters.

I watch too much crappy reality TV, read way too many books (many with pastel spines), know a little too much about pop culture and celebrity gossip and feel helpless if the Internet is not working.  I use video games as a stress reliever because nothing makes me feel better than shooting people in the head and blowing shit up.

Overall, I’m fairly low key and easygoing.  It takes very little to make me happy if you are anyone but myself.  I try to be as open minded and spontaneous as time and money allows me.  I wholeheartedly believe in retail therapy – my checking account hates me but my soul is satisfied.  I love traveling, nights out with friends and the Philadelphia Eagles.

I Love …

Coach bags, red wine, Plumeria flowers, exploring new places, Diet Dr. Pepper, Philadelphia Eagles football, watching crappy TV, going to the movies, trying new restaurants and recipes, fresh fruit, thunderstorms, Halloween, hayrides, when the leaves change color, big sunglasses, well-worn pairs of jeans, soft t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, Ford Mustangs, playing XBox, redecorating my house, Wawa cappuccino and Tiffany’s.

I Don’t Like …

needles, root beer, blow-up Christmas yard decorations, folding laundry, black licorice, tequila, wet socks, when my food touches, talking on the phone, being in crowded public places, other drivers, irresponsible pet owners, bugs that sting, gold jewelry, lilacs, humidity, a messy house, doing the dishes, hot tea and leftovers.
