I didn't have to wait to get my degree to live in California. I spent time in NorCal (Hayward, CA to be specific)

Now I'm back in El Paso, TX. We'll see what happens when I get a job!

Coming out of the closet....
 
It's time for me to fess up and tell everyone the truth about myself....

I am from North Pole, Alaska...
I graduated from North Pole High School which at the time was located on Santa Claus Lane (it has since moved)..:o

Yes, I have to put this information on my resume's.
I have been called a liar, people just don't believe it but you can google it and see for yourself.

I always found the fire hydrants painted like nutcrackers super creepy.

I want ice cream from the Knotty Shop.

joliebelle 10-06-2008 06:20 PM

born Biloxi, MS at Keesler AFB
moved to Wiesbaden, Germany when I was 3
moved to St. Croix, USVI (to live with my grandmother) when I was 5
moved to Columbia, SC when I was 6 until I moved to Jacksonville, FL for college at 18

this should all change when I (hopefully!) get into grad school next year

Yay! Someone to vouch for me! :D I love the ice cream from the Knotty Shop too! In all honesty and no joking around, Kris Kringel lived a few doors down from my house. He looked and acted like Santa 24/7 and his job was to be Santa at the Santa Claus House year round. He drove an old pickup truck that was candy apple red with a big white stripe. National Geographic did a feature on North Pole a while ago and they included a small blurb and picture of him. Yeah, I knew Santa, graduated from North Pole High School, and I have had my picture taken with Comet and Cupid. Wow, I sound like a psycho..
Here is a link to the National Geographic article...
