| On her profile Candace states: I don't know what really to say about me to be honest some days I'm the craziest and funniest person you'll ever meet. I'm really clumsy at times and I'm almost always happy or I can find something to laugh about even when I really shouldn't find the situation funny which can be annoying to most people and some people say I talk too much…basically I love life and living it! According to her status she says: "If life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life, then lets all get wasted and have the time of out lives." Look for a one-on-one in the next issue of entertainer. | |
