I guess I'm finding out that once you're out of high school, it's hard to find and make friends.  I'm 21 now, don't go to college so can't meet people there, work full time but most of the people I work with are lots older. 

I am lonely.  I mean, I have a boyfriend, and he's nice, but I wish I had a good gal pal to talk to, to hang out with, go to movies with, exercise with, you know, just be friends with.  I would love to be part of a group of good friends like Sex and the City or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. 

Unfortunately, most of my high school friends have moved away or we've lost touch and I miss that connection to others. 

Let me tell you about me: I'm straight and engaged to a nice man, so I'm not looking for romance.  I'm not really much of a reader and I don't keep too up-to-date on the news, though I do like People magazine, lol.  I'm about 25 pounds heavy and would like to exercise, but don't enjoy doing it alone.  I'm a member at 24-hour fitness, but I also have a bike and like to walk, so the gym isn't the only spot for me to exercise.  I'm a smoker and I drink once in awhile.  I don't go to church, but I'm Catholic.  I wouldn't mind returning to a church, but my boyfriend won't go. 

I have a couple of tattoos, a few piercings, but I'm not wild.  My musical taste is pretty moderate.  I have one really bad habit (besides the smoking): I tend to swear a lot.  Mostly, I think, it's to shock people, or that's how it started and now it's sort of an unconscious habit.

I like to cook and I'm learning how to be better at it. 

Well, what else is there to say?  If you'd like to be friends and you live in Bakersfield, please write.  Thanks!
