I'm a student, currently going to school to get my certification as a phlebotomist. I live with my parents, but plan to move out after I finish school and find a job, possibly (and hopefully), NOT here. I really want to move away from here, and wouldn't have a problem finding a job after I finish up school. I've really only ever had 2 serious relationships, one that led to an engagement that obviously didn't work out, or else I wouldn't be here. Both were military, and involved more than one deployment while we were together, so, I'm used to that whole thing. It's very familiar to me, and, I actually know how to deal with it, and handle it. I have two birds named Cosmo and Wanda. I work for Make A Wish Foundation. My true pion is to help people. I have goals, ms, and values. I guess I'm what you would call old-fashioned when it comes to dating. I love to laugh and smile, and make other people do the same. I've been told I'm really easy to get along with at times, and impossible at others, because I can be stubborn and guarded at times. I hate drama, and have never been a fan of it. It's probably why all my friends are guys. I take the problems life gives me, and work them out without a big scene, or a total mini-meltdown every week. I'm a pretty positive, optimistic person. I text too much, because I loathe talking on the phone. I always try to do the right thing, try to be kind and nice to others, and always give people a chance. It's just the way I was raised to be. The most important thing in my life is my personal goals for myself. I don't have many, but, I'm very certain of the ones I do have and am always working on achieving them. I'm a pretty determined person. I spend most of my free time doing volunteer work. I love to bake. I have a killer cookie cake recipe, that everyone seems to love. I love to make people laugh, even if I do have an odd sense of humor at times. It's just the kind of person I am. I'm just goofy naturally, without even trying, but can be serious when needed. I'm really into music, it keeps me going. I listen to everything, from T.I. to Mozart, from Toby Keith to The Shins. (My Ipod is proof of this fact.) I like to paint. I'm one of those people that takes a while to get to know. There are many "elements" to me. I think I've wrote enough, but, if you'd like to know more, just message me. :)
