Well, my name is Hollie Fae Sparks (I don't think my mom knows how to spell! haha) and I was born on May 18, 1990, so, I just turned 19. I live in a small town, well the country basically, in Pennsylvania, USA. I really like it here, I have no clue how people could live in the city though! *Shudders at the thought* lol but yeah, I'm a country girl and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am attending college online at moment and in March of 2010 I will have an associate's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Criminal Justice. Then, in an additional 13 months, I will receive a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. One of my passions is foreign languages, they fascinate me and I love to learn them; I hope to be able to use this in my career ... perhaps to be a translator for the court system or something along those lines. I think of myself as intelligent and I take pride in that. However, you will never hear me tell someone I'm smarter than them, even if I am, I would never put someone down like that. Nor will I ever brag about being smart; sure, I may think I am, but I mostly keep it to myself--I hate show-offs and know-it-alls. This is probably the first time I've ever even written anything like this lol.

At the moment, my sister, who is 14 months older than me, and I are looking for a place to rent together. Living together is not exactly our first choice of living arrangements, but we both agree that we want to move out of our parents' place. I hope to find somewhere close at a decent price. So far, this is proving difficult!

I'm a very easy going person; I try to get along with everybody but I usually just keep to myself. Until you get to know me, I seem pretty shy and quiet, but like I said, that's until you get to know me! lol and even though I try to get along with everybody, I'm not one to be messed with; I can definitely hold my own! lol and I was raised up right! so, I won't start any fights, but you best believe I'll be the one to finish them!

I'm also a major sports fan. My town is not very far from Pittsburgh, Pa, so I was born and raised a Pittsburgh fan and our love runs deep. "We bleed black and gold," as the saying goes. There aren't any other fans quite like us Pittsburgh fans. We go crazy over our teams and we're die-hard. We can go a whole season without winning a game (not that that would ever happen!) and you still won't ever hear us say we don't think our team is the best there is! haha my favorite sports to watch are hockey and football. Go Penguins and Steelers! Whoop! lol

Besides watching sports, I also like to read, listen to music, go for drives, walk, go fishing, and hang out with my friends. I like a lot of different books, as long as it is well written and holds my interest then I'll read it. My favorite books are The Twilight Saga, the Harry Potter series, and the da Vinci Code just to name a few. One of my favorite authors is Dean Koontz, I've read most, if not all of his books and I enjoyed them all!

My music taste is kinda like a person with multiple personalities!! haha one minute I'm jamming to country then all of a sudden it's rap! I really enjoy anything with a good beat. I even got a new system in my car -- sub and all! haha I love listening to music in my car; there's nothing like going for a drive down some back country roads on a hot summer day with all the windows down and the radio cranked way up loud! My favorite type of cars is Chevy Pick-up trucks. lol I always say "One day, when I'm rich, I'm gonna have a brand new Chevy Silverado, jacked waaayyy up and pimped out!!" haha ... but at the moment I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy ... hey, what can I say, it gets me around! lol even if it's a gas hog!

Well, that's all I can think to say at the moment ... and it's quite a lot! It's more than I have on my myspace or facebook anyway! haha
