Fellow New Englander! I've always counted myself lucky to live in an area with a great deal of history still standing :)
I'm a student, currently, writing on the side.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

Born and raised in Austin, TX. I've travelled around the world as a flight attendant, and it's still my favorite city but the allergies kill me. I lived in NYC for seven years, and now I live in Fort Lauderdale. I love the beaches but Florida really is crazy.

I just had a baby so I'm working from home right now as a freelance writer. It pays the bills, but I miss being in school. I'm a classics major and I'm fascinated by ancient history.

Hey everyone!! I live in Walterboro, South Carolina. I am a housewife aka "Domestic Goddess". My passion is books and I am in the process of organizing my 5000+ books that I have in my Dropbox. I am on my cookbooks right now. I am organizing them into folders according to author name or genre or subject since I have a passion for textbooks on subjects that I am interested in.
