Hello, hola, bonjour, etc :). I'm a 21 year old African-American woman nicknamed Mimi. I am in my senior year of college, majoring and minoring in subjects unrelated to web/graphic design. Poetry is my anti-drug and as previously stated in the welcome message, I'm pretty random. Are you intrigued?

How can you ask the leaves to not fall when wind exists? How can you ask the sun to shine when clouds exist? How can you ask me not to fall in love when you exist?

Getting to Know Mimi

My name is Yasmine, but I'd prefer you to address me as Mimi. I live in the United Semi-Divided States of America, somewhere along the east coast; the exact location is irrelevant. I am a 21 year old, African-American woman who recently completed her undergraduate studies. I turned the big 2-1 this past Black Friday (how exciting, I know).

I guess you can label me as a shy person, but I can be outgoing once I get to know you. When I venture off into new surroundings, I tend to keep to myself, like a turtle in its shell. However, once I get to know you, I break out of my shell and may seem like a totally different person ;). I'm a tad bit silly, yet I can be extremely serious when I need to be. I consider myself a mature person, too. I keep myself content and usually calm. My poetry helps me to remain that way. I tend to hold grudges, and sometimes it's unintentional. It is just that I have a difficult time in trusting people; that's just the way I have always been. I am very stubborn and this is both a strength and a weakness. I believe in the accuracy of personality tests and that's why I have different test results on this site.

I dislike people with pompous attitudes and have an "I'm so better than you" aura around them. I dislike weedheads too (you know, those people who are ALWAYS high); the devil's cabbage (lol Heartbreak Kid) reeks! I'm above the influence and believe smoking is stupid. I am a bargainer, I am always looking for a bargain. I guess I'm a bit frugal? I see the good in people when they're unable to. I see the good in situations that are deemed tragic. I enjoy talking to strangers. I'm trusting and accepting of people until they give me reason not to be. People deemed "weid" fascinate me. I must be slightly off- I am an aspiring psychologist lol. Anywho, I am considered strange by a lot of people and frankly, I like it. Who wants to be normal?? There's no fun in that ;).
