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?

Random Quote
When you love someone, you can easily tell them your feelings for them. When you are in love with someone, you are tongue tied, as words cannot even begin to express the inner emotions that are experienced.

I have a thing for writing poetry. It's a great artform and a productive way of venting or just expressing your thoughts. I've been writing poetry since I was in 10th grade (I think). When I was younger I wrote simple stuff but I did not begin taking it seriously until 10th grade.
I'M PUNCTUAL
Punctuality is very important to me. A pet peeve of mines is people who are late. I can understand being a few minutes late but it really aggravates me when people are 10+ minutes late. It's rude NOT to be punctual. I manage my time wisely and when I tell someone I am available at a certain time, I will be there, on time.
I'M A HELPER
I try my best to help when I am able. I really enjoy volunteering, especially if it's volunteering with children because children are my heart. If people need help with schoolwork I assist if I know what I am doing. When people need advice, I try my best to give it.
I'M HONEST
I have no problem with telling someone the truth. If I'm asked my honest opinion on something, why not give it? The truth can hurt sometimes but I try my best to be respectful and courteous. I can be blunt though and some say I'm rude but I think not. I am not a deceitful person nor a liar, it's just not me.
I'M COURTEOUS
Please and thank you are those magical words and I use them frequently. I was taught to call elders sir and ma'am so that's what I do. I hold doors open for people, it's the nice thing to do. I give up my seat for elerly people when I am on the bus, too :).
Negative Attributes
I'M UNFORGIVING
I hold grudges. SERIOUSLY! It's not those type of grudges that last a couple of weeks, they last years. When I'm hurt, I'm hurt; I can't help those type of things. For me, it's like one strike, you're out! I know it's not good so I am working on becoming a more forgiving person. Several people have forgiven me for wrongful things I've done and I should do the same.
I'M STUBBORN
I don't enjoy admitting I'm wrong (although I'm seldom wrong =P). I feel like I'm always right and there's no changing my mind about things (usually). I rarely budge, I'm stubborn as a rock. Sidenote: I see this though as a positive, too, because it means that I am not easily persuaded, thus I don't give into peer pressure =].
I'M ARGUMENTATIVE
My friends told me on numerous occassions that I should join the debate team because I argue too much. I am argumentative and I WILL argue with someone for days. I am not going to shut up until someone listens to what I have to say (there's a difference between hearing and listening). It's like a must for me to have the last word =/.
