well, ive spent the last 9.5 years since living in memphis in atlanta, and its been good, i graduated from kennesaw state university with a degree in english (focus on brit lit) and i'm doing absolutely nothing with it, except helping people at work with their grammar and spelling.
i have successfully dodged the marriage bullet a few times as i have found no one that i deem worth losing my freedom for.
i bought a house in my favorite part of town (little five points/candler park-kind of like midtown memphis but more fun) and i have two teacup chihuahuas that i adore. they weigh seven pounds altogether!
i am one of the managers of crate and barrel at lenox mall, the flagship store in atlanta. they send me all over the country to look at new products, and it's great because the products are ever changing, and it doesn't hurt that i love the things i promote. i love contemporary design and they work with my favorite design house, marimekko, exclusively, so i had to work there! basically i hate doing the same thing every day and enjoy the challenge of learning new products and remembering old ones at the same time, while running a giant store, its budget, customer service issues, and my employees, just to name a few issues i deal with every day. i've been with the company all through college and i got fast tracked into management when i graduated. at this point i can look at a wine glass and tell you if it's ours or not, just by the sheer shape of it. i have been harrassing corporate for years to get one in memphis so i can run it ;)
ive been vegan for over 8 years, and veg for a total of at least 12 years.
i hang out with my sister sam (hhs alumni, who bought the house next door to mine and is also fast tracking at crate since her graduation from memphis state last month), my best friend flo (hhs alumni aka "the french girl") who lives a few minutes away with her husband, and davis hawk (hhs 97) lives one minute from me with his fiancee. it's nice to have memphis folk around. but i come home a lot, though...no one like memphis folk!
well, that's about it, to be brief. i've had too many experiences to recall right now- tv shows i've been on, meeting/hanging out with almost all of the celebs/bands i've always wanted to meet (for example- morrissey, robert smith, super furry animals, david arquette, lukas haas, david cross, the dandy warhols, the verve, the charlatans, blur, supergrass, ash, radiohead,portishead, brendan benson, etc. ), traveling the usa and europe while living life to the fullest in the greatest cities on earth, etc., in the last ten years.
