About Me

  • About Me: my city isn't on the metro list on xanga so i decided to just pick my county. i'm a geek in so many subjects... my most fave course growing up and through college was math and so me going into a tech field was something to be expected. introducing the elephant in the room: - i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when i was 21 and have been in a wheelchair for the past year... i'm working out so i can walk again and that will happen. - i came down with cancer in 2006 (i was 29) and as you can tell, i'm still here. the tumor was removed in early 2007. i'd love to put my childlike mind to work on creating children's books. people call me a goofball but i call it imaginative. youth is a state of mind and i don't want to lose this wonderful gift just because i need to be serious for at least 40 hours a week. i'm a basshead, jungle/drum and bass is my poison. i'm a christian, i'm a hockey fan, i enjoy rodeos, country music is my thing, i'm different, etc...

    At the Leo Club (Jr Lion's Club induction) my old boyfriend thought we wouldn't have any problems pulling off some awesome Swing moves; we did great until he dropped me mid slide in the middle of the dance floor. Great memory.

    After our Leo Club induction at Treasure Island, we headed out to the beach and as we stepped out on the beach in our forrmal garb I realized there was a wicked run in my hose. Tug-of-War with the hose while wearing tuxes and dresses was crazy fun but to top it off... we jumped in the cold, dark
