About Me

Ok, so I am supposed to tell you about myself right? Blah, Blah, Blah! I had the general crap written on here but it is currently pissing me off so I want to change it all. Talking about where I work, being married, school and all that crap seems so mundane to me at this moment so I am erasing it all and replacing it with this. But...before I do I will carefully copy, cut, and paste it into gmail in case I get the urge to use it again. So there you go, impulsive, nuerotic, yet very well organized in a chaotic way. I send myself a lot of emails to save things or remember things. I love my day planner. I'm a huge smart-ass and a lot of time people just don't get my type of humor, it's usually really dark or just plain unexplainable. When I am acting like a bitch it is usually just that...an act...meant to be comedic...some people take it too seriously. I hate when people misuse or overuse the word "too". Overall I'm pretty nutty, in a good way, at least I think it's good, Others might not agree. I feel pretty laid back most of the time, although I have been accused of being neurotic and slightly OCD. I would like to be a writer if I could only embrace my insomnia. My best creative thoughts are when I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep but I never can get out of bed and get them all down...and of course the morning brings fresh ideas but they are never as fully developed as the ones that occur in the dark night. I love the number 8...and the use of ellipsis.Leave me a msg with the magnets!
