Oh, you know those profiles, that when you read it, you can't tell if it's a guy or a girl? Haha, I'm a girl. You probably can tell, but whatever. I hope one day to be a beta reader, but I really don't think I'll ever achieve such lofty status. Hehe. I don't have the patience to write five stories. I'm on here for the reading, not the writing.

Old fashioned ones, like the Three Stooges (:D), Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, stuff like that. If you've never heard of those, I've got one word for ya: Culture! : Music- hmm. I just sorta put my iPod on shuffle. But my newest album that I'm addicted to currently is The Lost Get Found by Britt Nicole. It's amazing. You gotta check it out on YouTube. Next time I get a iTunes card, I'm getting the newest BarlowGirl CD, Love and War. :- My Hobbies? Well topping the list would be FanFic. But email (Go Gmail!) and Corel Painter come close. I actually make cards instead of buying those cheesy Hallmark ones at the drugstore. Hallmark Card Studio- get it. Saves like a billion dollars. Well, a lot anyway. Then comes reading, obviously.
