I tried posting an intro earlier, buuuut it said it needed approval? So, I'm gonna try one more time..

Name: Jamie - Lately I've been getting made fun of for being short at work (I'm 5'0"), so peeps also refer to me as Short Stack/Midget/Vertically Challenged.
Age: 28. Often get mistaken for anywhere from 18 - 21/22. I've gotten as low as 16 on a rare occasion.
Occupation: Server (as in.. Restaurant Biz.)
Location: Hell, Texas. Seriously. Where I'm staying right now is awful. Middle of nowhere, dry county until you get to the TX/AR border (which is where I happen to work also). Normally I live in Nashville, TN. I'm ready to go home 4 months ago.

Hobbies: Cooking - I love cooking. Especially with my little girl (she likes to help make tortillas). I'm best at cooking Mexican, but I can make just about anything - including rolling sushi. I often joke that I'm a modern day Stepford Wife. I'll cook & clean in heels when the weather's warm.
Screwing around in Photoshop (not the best by leaps and bounds, not entirely the worst. I can make my stuff look neat and pretty at least), Reading, Music, Travelling (love going on road trips), Swimming/Jet Skiing during the Summer.

Other: I'm somewhat Spanish bilingual.. Intermediate at best, though white folks 'round these parts consider me fluent 'cuz I can say "Hola" without sounding like a redneck. Actually, I speak -Mexican- Spanish. Yeah, there's a difference.

I like movies if I can get into them within 30 minutes, but because I have ADHD - unmedicated - my attention is gone if it hasn't been grabbed within the first bit. If we're in a theater, I get antsy and stuff. Some of my favs are Lord of War, Blood In Blood Out, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Wizard of Oz, Dancer in the Dark (with Bjork), and Sin Nombre. And Sleeping Beauty - Aurora is mine and my daughter's fav Princess (Plus, Mary Costa, the voice of Aurora, lives in Knoxville, TN - an hour or so north of my hometown).

I'm a huge bookworm. I'll read anything regardless of how bad it is and I'll probably get it read within 3 days. I'm addicted to downloading eBooks on my phone. I'm currently hacking my way through Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. There's plenty of them and they're all really long, so it's pretty awesome. Some other favs: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Housseini, Life of Pi by Yann Martel (I've read it over and over for 5 yrs), Coyotes by Ted Conniver, Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario

Music, I have a ridiculously wide range in what I like - Spanish Duranguense/Ranchero/Cumbia, Bachata & Reggaeton, J/C/K-Pop, J-Rock, English Pop, Rock, Older Hip Hop (Tupac, Mystikal, Master P, NWA, Too $hort, etc), Older Country (Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynne, Red Sovine, Hank Jr), and some newer stuff of the last 2 genres. Strangely enough, I have an 80 GB iPod and only 20 GB worth of music on it.

My little girl is 5. Both of our bdays are in January. She's my favorite person ever - she's smart, mature, and -really- gorgeous. I'd rather hang out with her than go out with friends - which is pretty much what I do. heh. I got her into Final Fantasy while playing XIII-2. I was racing Chocobos and she said "Ooooh MOM! I like your big chickens!" - After telling her what they were, she settled into calling them "Chickabos".

Anywho... Nice to meet y'all!

(Sorry that was long. I've had entirely too much time on my hands lately. I've been off for 4 days. -_-;; no bueno.)
