Hello and give me all of your chocolate or else.

About Me

Myspace Graphics I'm married (most happily- be ye warned trolls) and have a very cool and marginally demented dog called Leo.He gives people hugs. What other dog does that? No kids and not planning any right now. At the moment I am a creative writing student. I am two thirds of the way through my course and have reached the point where some of my work is finally being published. I was a teacher in Athens, Greece for four years and I loved it.I plan to get back into educating people in the near future. I am from northern England and have an odd accent but live in the U.S. Nobody here knows what on Earth I'm saying. They all want to know where I'm from and say "Oh your voice is so cute." I wish they would all shut up since there is a slight chance that I may wound the next individual to make such a comment. I think that anybody who knows me well realises that there is nothing remotely "cute" about me.I love to laugh with people and I often laugh at sick things that not everybody finds funny. However when others get sickened or offended by my humour for me that's even more hilarious. I think my sense of humour is more common in the region I am from than in other parts of the world. I can also be quite dry and dead-pan. Some people aren't sure how to take me. I can be pretty intense and am analytical by nature. I am mostly pleasant towards others but my temper can be quite bad if pushed. It once took all my will-power not to hit my husband over the head with a skillet.For those of you who would like to read more of my work you can do so by checking out a website called Helium. My pen name is Claire Billips.
| View | Add Favoritea scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
