My man. He's originally from the area, though has lived all over the world as his parents loved to travel. I've been here a little over a year, and have no plans to leave, especially not while "W" is in office. *vomits* And, No, I'm not an "Essex girl". I used to not know what one of those are, but well ... now I do and I'm defintely not one. LOL Cool name, btw. Saw that as soon as I got here, and figured right off you must be a cool guy to like the phoenix. ;-)
