I live in Columbia, SC and have all my life (oh, except for one year of it).
My fella, Steve, and I have lived together since the end of May 2004 and things are nauseatingly fabulous. No, really. . . I'm not just saying that 'cause he might read this. IT'S TRUE.
I have a chow named Roman. He's red and peculiar. I think that he may actually be an 8 year of boy that was turned into a dog by an angery wizard or something.
I work for a mammoth local company that has a contract with a government entity hint - everyone pays the government for it, but people my age might not get to benefit from money we put into the program.)
