My Bio
I'm a 28-year-old self-employed female of mixed-racial background, currently residing in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL, USA. I've lived in this region all of my life. Hopefully sometime soon, I'll join the railroad industry, en route to becoming a locomotive engineer. I love trains a lot! My most favorite trains are Metra trains, and my most favorite locomotive of all is METX #210. I grew up within walking distance of four railroads on the westside of Chicago, so I've been around trains almost all of my life. I've been planning on becoming a member of deviantart for some time, but never got the opportunity to do so until today. Some of the artwork you will see from me will involve trains, or random drawings that I've done in the past.

It's been a while since I posted anything on here. I've had computer problems as of late, plus I've been pretty busy with all of my little self-employed jobs, and life in general. I'm back, but for a little while.

THIS IS ANOTHER POEM THAT I'M SUBMITTING, AND IT ALSO COMES FROM MY XANGA WEBLOG. IT IS TITLED "EMPTY HEART" AND JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS POEM I SUBMITTED, IT CAN BE TIED TO MY PRESENT-DAY FEELINGS TOWARDS FINDING MR. RIGHT. HEY, IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, THANKS TO THE WAY PEOPLE ARE THESE DAYS. I'M MUCH BETTER OFF GIVING ALL OF MY HEART TO THAT LOCOMOTIVE INSTEAD OF A PHONY MAN! I no longer seek love I no longer desire love I no longer expect love I no longer miss love I no longer call love I no longer want love I no longer need love I no longer watch love I no longer ask for love I no longer beg for love I no longer wish for love

THE FOLLOWING IS A POEM THAT I WROTE IN THE SUMMER OF 2008 TITLED "FAKE LOVER." I COPIED IT FROM MY XANGA PAGE AND POSTED IT HERE. THE WORDS CLEARLY DEFINE THE WOMAN I AM TO THIS VERY DAY. IF YOU EVER WONDERED WHY I GIVE ALL OF MY LOVE TO THE LOCOMOTIVE METRA #210 INSTEAD OF A MAN, IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HURT, LIED TO, AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF WAYYYY TOO MANY TIMES TO EVER GIVE MY HEART OVER TO A LYING, DENYING, CHEATING, CONTROLLING, SEX-CRAVING, RAPING, PHONY MAN! THOSE DAYS ARE OVER FOREVER! The guy who I've always dreamed of Will never be mine For he is truly a fake lover The guy who I've always wanted to meet Will never be mine Fo

Is it true you're "married" to a locomotive??
Great train pic collection :)
Thank you very much.
lucky girl ._. i wish to be a rail roader aswell.
Unfortunately, it's hard to get in because the hiring personnel are so picky. I knew that beforehand, but I took my chances. I will reapply soon. Go to the websites of the railroads that serve your area and see if they are hiring, and for what positions. Hopefully you will find something that interests you. Good luck!

It's no secret. Many people, including those in the railroad industry, already know how tight my connection to this locomotive truly is.
