Profile

I'm a 20-something female living somewhere inside the Atlanta perimeter. I work in IT in a job where my two college degrees are going to waste and I'm severely overpaid for the amount of work I actually do. I'm going back to school full-time to get my MBA in May.

I dream of starting my own business one day, or of becoming a writer, or of winning the lottery, or of following U2 on tour-- I've got big plans but very little follow-through. I'm sloppy and lazy and I hate to vacuum (I'm tall! It hurts my back!). I can read a map like nobody's business, but I'm directionally challenged, though I maintain my belief that all roads lead to Lavista (from which I can get home). I am hopelessly addicted to TiVo and the Internet. I'm fiercely loyal, incredibly competitive and overly opinionated. I'm a flaming liberal and I reserve my right to express my opinion, often and loudly. I'm always open to hearing the other side of the debate. I listen to lots of Tori Amos, whom I have seen four times in concert. I also love U2-- I travelled to see them in Hawaii and it was the best vacation I have ever had. In my opinion, there's nothing better than settling down on the couch and watching the Braves game on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I like to go to bed late and sleep all morning.

I have four pets: Crazy McStinkbutt, the insanely affectionate adult male tux, loves belly scratches and longs to explore the Forbidden Outdoors. Lazy McFatass, a wonderfully calm but obnoxiously prissy adult female tabby, just wants to be fed. Marmalade von Fancypants, the baby boy bright orange tabby, enjoys milkshakes, climbing Christmas trees, and eating fingers. Mr. McStinkbutt is now fatter than Ms. McFatass and less crazy than Mr. Pants, so some of the names aren't really approprate anymore (although Mr. McStinkbutt still has a stinky butt). Then there's my beautiful freakshow of a miniature schnauzer mix named, appropriately, Adam Clayton. Just don't touch his butt and you'll get along fine.
