Alia Brown:  

Life I am a 27 year old female that lives in Thornton, Colorado. Not for much longer if I can help it though. I have always wanted to get out of Denver, since I moved back here when I was 15. I have never liked it much. I like smaller places. I like knowing my neighbors and being in quiet communities. I am not cut out for the hustle and bustle of metropolitan areas. Everyone looks at me like a freak because I don't go to night clubs, hiking, biking, and sking. I want to find a place to settle down, so I am in an ideal environment when I start my family. I have had more than my share of fun and I am ready for the next level in life. I have two ideas of where I may eventually go. It is between Wiggins, Mississippi (which I have lived when I was much younger) and Ft. Smith, Arkansas. There are a handful of people in Wiggins I would love to see and I have always liked the town. I don't know anything about Ft. Smith, except my best friend of 14 years lives there, Angela. Her and I have pretty much always lived together and so having her out of state is kind of a shock to my system. I work in the Nephrology industry doing medical billing, customer support of our software that we develope, customer support of GE Healthcare software that we license, Bookeeping, Administrative duties, Travel Coordination, and Accounting. The Dialysis business is very unique and rewarding. I label myself as single, but I am not. It is complicated. If I could simply list myself as unavailable, I would. I am seeing someone but he lives in Wiggins, Mississippi and our communication is a little rocky at the moment because he just moved. We first met each other in the 6th grade. He is wonderful guy that I can't wait to get to know more. He is deaf, which is going to be an adjustment. I have been teaching myself sign language and his world, will open up a new and exciting world of experiences for me. It really is difficult having a long distance relationship with virtually no communication, but we are managing. I currently have two roomates. I rent my friends Brandie and Matt's basement. It is a nice big house, in a nice neighborhood. We have our own personal zoo. We have a dog, five cats, and two rats (yes the rats are pets in a cage and no its not gross). Someone is always watching Scrubbs in one of the living rooms and there are always friends coming and going. Our favorite thing to do is get 4-6 friends together and play with Matt's Nintendo Wii. It seems to be a favorite of everyones. They like bowling, and I like baseball. I am bad at it but I will get better. I generally don't like video games, but this one is interactive in the sense that you have to stand up and actually play the game. I am a sensitive, kind hearted, and generous women that people often mistake as weak and nieve. I have a very distinctive dark side, though, when provoked. For the most part though, I am laid back, friendly and full of smiles School Jefferson High School - Edgewater, Colorado I attended this high school in Edgewater, Colorado for the second half of Sophmore year, Junior year, and Senior Year. I was in the top 3rd of my high school, junior year which qualified me for competition to go to Colorado Columbine Girls State. I competed for and won a spot through the Lakewood American Legion to particiate in this mock state government program that was held for a week at Western State University, in Gunnison, Colorado. I held two offices of Fire Chief and State Treasurer. Two years in a row I was awarded with the "Who's Who Amoung American High School Students Award" for 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 school years. The day of enrollement for senior year, I married Joshua Ferrill. Which was featured in a two page spread in the 1997-1998 Jefferson High School year book. That marriage ended 3 weeks before graduation. I competed for and won a 4 year scholarship. An associates through Red Rocks Community College, finishing up a bachalors through Metro State University. A scholarship which I let go and did not use, due to the divorce. I needed time off of school. During High School I lettered in Drama, participated in the Spanish Club, and was an active member of Tech Theater. I won awards from the Womens Axillary for democracy speeches, and was awarded honor roll several times. During my Junior and Senior year I participated in college classes through Warren Occupational Technical Center which was headed through Red Rocks Community College. I earned college credits to be applied toward my high school transcripts, which put me over in the required credits for the 1998 graduation. I was scheduled to graduate in December of 1997 and walk in the 1998 ceremony. I chose to stay behind and have a part time schedule, because my husband, Joshua was still earning credits. This was by far the best school I have ever attended. They cared about their students and made great strides to make sure that every student succeded. My junior year english teacher, made me join honors english classes, due to my grades in his classes. If only math came as easily. Because of the poor grades that I received at my previous high school, my GPA was not as high as it should have been. I graduated with an accumulitive 3.1 GPA. Stone High School - Wiggins, Mississippi There are no awards to speak of, only fun times. I was not focused on my education at that time in my life, it was all social. My mom never expected much of me other than to pass, so that's all I did. So instead of spewing my awards and memberships, I have memories that will last a life time. I seemed to always have a crush on a boy. Lets see there was Jeffrey Gill, Andrew Rester, Christopher Brown, Derrick Bond, Dominic Cardella and I imagine many, many more. I was boy crazy to say the least. There were a couple teachers that helped form my views and beliefs because they cared enough to teach beyond the realm of their classrooms. There was Mrs. Jones the music teacher, Mrs. Rester the Middle School Science teacher, Mrs. Webb the Biology teacher, and Coach Black who was the football coach, but he is the one who taught me how to drive. They taught beyond state board education, they formed my moral and religious beliefs, which has defined me as an adult. I miss all of the people who loved me and s...Expand for more
