Friends?

So here's the thing...
I know I have some readers that I never hear a word from and that just sucks. The reason I know that is because I have a lovely tracker on my blog that tells me where my readers are from and how they arrived on my blog. Well since you're all so silent in the comments section I thought it would be kinda fun to find out who everyone is and a little bit about you.
People on livejournal do a thing called a friending meme...I thought I would create my own so I could find out more about the people that actually take the time to read what I write. Here's what you do, fill out the survey below and stick it in my comments section so I can find out more about you. And to start, I'll do one as well.

1.Name (just the first is fine)
Ariel
2. Where do you live?
North Carolina born and bred...I've moved around within the state but never left it and I'm certain it's where I want to call home 'till the day I die.
3. Relationship Status
I like to think of it as Cinderella post ball PRE Prince Charming ... he's out there he's just got to find me.
4. How did you find my blog?
I am the creator so I'll tell you why I write it, because there are so many things in my day to day life that intrigue me and that I would love to share with anyone else that might find them just as intriguing.
5. How often do you read my blog?
Again, not really one I can answer since I write it so I'll tell you that I read my friends blogs every day...I like to keep up with the goings on in their lives and minds as well.
6. If we already know each other, how?
I am me. ;-)
7. What do you do? (school? work? Where?)
I work for the State of North Carolina in the Department of Transportation. Right now my job is mail room slave...I open the mail and route it and then I scan and file invoices and the like. I didn't graduate college, I just didn't make it through the last few semesters but I'm planning to get that sheet of paper one day.
8. All time favorite...anything.
I love taking pictures and making things. A love of photography runs deep in my veins, my mother took classes briefly and has some really awesome Nikon cameras that I hope to one day inherit. My mother is also a very talented woman when it comes to crafts. She used to do a lot of wood work and she sews like nobodies business...she made all my formal dresses except for one and my sister made that one. She also made all my dance costumes when I was a Scottish Dancer.
9. What do you do for fun?
I love being around friends. I love taking pictures of all the fun things we do and showing them off to everyone so they'll be envious of the amazing times we have and want to join us (just kidding, about the envy part anyway). I love the outdoors...hiking, surfing, driving with my windows down...you can't beat the fresh air on a beautiful fall day in North Carolina, no matter how hard you try.
10. Favorite place to be.
The mountains. I learned to love NC's mountains in college. I had wanted to go to Hawaii for school but it worked out that I stayed in NC and went to a mountain school. It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen and I will go back and reside there one day no matter what it takes.

Okay! It's your turn now...tell me about you! :-)
