Wow...A very nice thread to wake up to
Thank you fr the kind words, everyone!
Where to start....Well, a lot of you already know that my real name is Shawn. I'm 26 years old and I live in Ausitn, TX. I'm currently working two jobs right now. During the week, I'm an assitant manager at Taco Bell, and on the weekends, I work retail at a men's big and tall store called "Casual Male." We sell a lot of the George Foreman line of clothing. I'm currently the #1 ranked sales associate in our district, so I'm enjoying that. Taco Bell's ok, but it's not really something I want to do for a career. I VERY much enjoy working with people though, so I like it. If you don't smile at least once in my store, I didn't do my job.
Both of my parents are alive, yes. My mother lives here in Austin, and my dad lives in Indiana. I have the two best stepparents anyone could ever ask for. We're a very close family. I'm the oldest of 7 brothers and sister. One is full-blood, one is half, the rest are step. And yeah, I DO have a fav sister...It's bad I know, but Kasie and I get along very well. A lot in common.
I
am still married, but Casey(wife) and I are going through a divorce right now. In the end, we both realized that we were just better off as friends. We'd been friends for 6 years before we ever got together. She and I get along SO Much better now though, and Casey is still one of the best friends I have, and someone whose advice I would turn to and accept more quickly than most in this world. Things had been heading that way for a while, and we both knew it, but it took me falling in love with someone else to realize that.
I'm a romantic. To the core. I love movies, and all of them. Action, chick flicks, comedy, romance, all of them. I'm a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan. Return of the King is the greatest movie ever made, and the only one to make me cry.
Ty's right, I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm a very emotional, sentimental person, and I generally don't keep my thoughts or feelings to myself.
My hobbies? Music, first and foremost. I played country music professionally for about ten years. Met some awesome people along the way, made some great friends, and tore up a lot of towns
I quit playing about two years ago, but I'm thinking of starting it back up one more time. I'm also a movie buff. Love movies. I play on the internet A LOT, I love to go to karaoke bars, I LOVE sports, and I love people in general. I hope to do something in a career that involves people in one way or another, preferably music. I also love to write. I'm working ona fantasy-fiction book right now that I've had an idea for for a long time now, and only recently had the motivation to start doing something about it.
I do have to mention one thing as well, or a thread with me in it wouldn't be complete
Yes, that would be Tyhma, my beautiful
I really try not to be an attention whore with her, but sometimes it's hard when you're so full of love for someone. She's the most incredible woman I've ever met, and she's even more beautiful on the inside than she is outside, if that's possible
. In the 6 months I've known her, my life has been changed so much more than I ever thought it could be. I love her so much.(whoring done)
Something nobody(except Ty) knows about me: I can recite all three Lord of the Rings movies word for word. Sad, huh?
