(interview me)
ruby parchment
Full-time Balla. I got 20 hustles., self-employed
Location: fairfax, VA United States
Birthday: Dec 26th
Joined: Sep 25th, 2005
About   (request update)
I was born in Lansing, Michigan in the last days of 1955. I have six bloods: German-English-Irish-Swedish-French-Dutch. IQ in top 6% of nation. I call myself a bookworm, but in '08, I read only 19 books! Adopted Black Jamaican son, now 22, grad fm coll. in England, is in Jamaican army. I'm now 53 and enjoy chatting!
My Interview Question
Which do you think is more authentic, the Canarsie or the Weehawken style of Mambo?
Current Whereabouts:
Reading about Detroit, prison activism, books, current events, chatting, taking my medications!
Life & Professional Aspirations:
Since I came back to VA fm FL in '99, have wanted to finish reading all my own books -- have done so badly on that one! Bought a car (06 Buick La Crosse, White Opal) a week ago. I look forward to: owning a wooden doll house with furniture and tiny dollies, being a granny one day, and getting all my stuff out of storage in Florida!
Education   (request update)
George Mason Univ class of 1990
Undergrad Major: History
Claim To Fame:
The knowledge that life isn't about what u 'get,' but what u give. When I lived in Florida, I started helping children of Caribbean immigrants. When I came up here (home) in '99, now living on Social Security, I continued to buy 2nd hand clothes, shoes, and toys for ppl. going to Africa/Dominican Republic. I hope I've made some children happy.
Most Memorable Moment:
Brand New Red Leather Shoes. Last day of finals, my history one that I knew I'd ace. Q. was whether I'd passed my Chem final to graduate. That day, I took the hist exam, then went and checked the Chem list. I'D PASSED! (My Aunt said the teacher's pencil slipped.) So walking towards the bus stop in my new red leather shoes, it started pouring rain, and I knew they'd be ruined, but I didn't care! I knew I was going to graduate!
High School: George C. Marshall in Falls Church, VA class of 1975
 
Activities & Accomplishments:
I was boy-crazy, not proud of that.
Best Memories:
Please, it was the 70s, I'd rather forget.
Experience
I currently work with self-employed as Full-time Balla. I got 20 hustles.
I have 7 years of experience working in the Publishing industry.
