El You Kay Ee Why

About me:

So ok, I think I might try to keep this thing up to date now as I have started to fall out of touch with people over the last year or so. It's kinda hard since I don't really use MySpace all that often, you're better off talkin to me on Facebook as I actually attempt to keep up with that one. But yea, read on even if it sounds familiar, I mixed a few things up for ya.

For those of you who have met my puppy Mick, he isn't really a puppy anymore, he is 4 years old now but I'm still not ready to give up calling him a puppy. He's about one and a half feet tall, can jump six feet in the air, and doesn't care how big your dog is. I let my parents take care of him right now so that he'll have a yard to run around in until I buy a house, not to mention he's keepin them young. I go to see him a few times a month, that also gives me the chance to check in on my parents too, make sure the Alzheimer's hasn't kicked in yet.

I have always had this strange boyish charm which I have been using for the greater part of the last four or five years that somehow gets me almost anything I want out of people. I guess that's why I've been so good at retail over the years. The down side is that even though I'm 23, I still get people thinking I'm using a fake ID. But it's cool though because I'm sure I'll be able to appreciate that when I get older.

About four years ago I headed off to Australia to go to school in Sydney. It's a gorgeous place to live and I'm having a hard time trying not to pretend that I'm still there. I have every intention of going back to live there permanently someday. Outside of my stay in Australia, I've pretty much been living in and around Charlotte for the last fourteen years since moving here from Jacksonville, FL where I grew up. I'm still in denial that I ever actually moved.

I finally got my diploma from Charlotte (aka UNCC) and I'm now trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. The store I have been working at since graduating high school just closed for good. My lease at my current apartment doesn't end til next May. Then I'll have to figure out if I want to find a masters program somewhere that interests me, or find a job and finally settle down.

The job hunt is still on. Enough said

I moved 4 times in 6 months back in 2004 and including my move back to the south side of University City this past May, I'll have moved 11 times since starting college. In other words, I crave change on a very constant basis.

I love traveling. In all reality, I really just can't stand staying in one place too long. My goal next year is to fly down to South Africa to bungee jump from the Storms River Bridge, the world's highest jump. I've done the world's third highest jump in New Zealand and I want to jump from the top two now. P.S. I've had that goal written on here for three years now, I just haven't quite made it yet.

But, until then, here I am.
