[ About Me ]
I ...
... was born on October 1st at 11:47 pm (Or so I'm told)
... love my family
... am a born-again Christian. Visit my Praise Page, won't you?
... have a boyfriend
... graduated from college in May 2004 (Major: Civil engineering - Minor: Math)
... really miss my father
... jot down memories so I don't forget
... am a vegetarian. Click here for more info.
... have gray-blue eyes and light brown hair that looks red in sunlight
... find myself remarkably unphotogenic
... don't tan well
... like a variety of things
... love animals
... enjoy using the Internet
... notice things employees do at restaurants
... am ridiculously expressive
... have been accused of being goofy
... think being goofy can make a person more interesting
... enjoy my crushes on famous people
... tend to answer questions in complete sentences
... love electric guitar music, and the music from the '80s
... take pictures frequently
... am suspicious by nature
... recycle whenever I can
... drive way too much
... like to sing while I drive
... also sing in the choir at my church
... dance - privately, at home - when good music is on
... usually exercise at least twice a week
... stay pretty busy
... prefer hardwood floors to carpet
... had the chicken pox when I was in third grade
... am not really an impulse buyer
... prefer that the toilet paper roll off the top of the roll
... am usually pretty quiet around people that I don't know very well. Sometimes I will make small talk, but other times I try but I truly can't think of anything conversational to say. (Does that ever happen to anyone else?) So, if I'm ever around you and I don't chat much, please don't interpret that as a sign that I don't like you or that I'm a snob or something.
... have a two-year ("Associate") degree in interior design. It hasn't really helped in my career, but the classes were interesting and fun.
... have a part-time job with an inventory firm, although I am "on hiatus" since I found a job in engineering
... was a secretary for five years, although I called myself a "Girl Friday" because my responsiblities ranged from maintaining the company website to installing paper towel dispensers in the restrooms.
... believe that everyone should have to work in a position of public service (waitress, cashier, etc.) for at least a year.
... am right-handed but I prefer to use the computer mouse with my left hand. If I search for long periods with my right hand, it hurts.
... have been to Mississippi twice, and both times something bad has happened. The first time the guy who was driving us locked the keys in the truck. The second time the car I was riding in was in an accident; thankfully, no one was injured. Both times we was just passing through.
When I was in high school, I was especially quiet around boys that I had crushes on. (I have no idea why.) I always thought that the subtle glances that I would cast in their directions were very meaningful.
One of my biggest goals/dreams is to buy a house.
Jobs I've had:
... telemarketer (for 1 day)
... visual merchandiser at a clothing store
... waitress
... telephone secretary at an answering service
... interior decorator/salesperson at a paint store
... "undergraduate assistant" - in other words, a paper grader
... co-op student (I'd work full time for one semester - in a job related to my field - then go to school full-time for a semester.)
... auditor at an inventory company
... "design technician" - basically an engineer-in-training
