Interests?
Singing ... writing poetry & songs ... creating art from simple things and words ... photography ... sushi ... workin' on my cars and learnin' more bout that ... PEOPLE WITH SOMETHING TO SAY ... teachin' my baby and makin' him a Man ... powerful, emotional music that makes you FEEL something ... "TASTE OF THAI" ON WAKE FOREST RD. ... opening yourself up to WHO YOU ARE -- and being okay with that.
I Am ... 36% Lady
You tend to make up your OWN rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside.
And while you try to be a lady -- (sometimes) -- your behavior is often quite shocking.
IF YOU SEE NOTHING ELSE, SEE THIS...
"There are no perfect human beings.
"Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, GREAT. There DO in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers ... even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed.
"To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must FIRST give up our illusions about it."
--Abraham Maslow
Amen.
WHO WOULD I LIKE TO MEET?
People who understand and live by the above. And people who OVERstand that getting to know a person on more than a superficial level is NOT about their "stats". I don't care about those kinds of things. Why? They don't reflect who a person truly IS.
The majority of people make that mistake -- thinking that "getting to know someone" is "finding out what they like to do", or "what they went to school for" or "what their favorite food is." Who cares? Really, that's not knowing someone at all.
My favorite damn color is red. Now do you feel like you know me any better than 5 seconds ago? Until you know WHY that's my favorite color, you ain't learned jack, homey.
I don't care what kind of car you drive. I don't care what hours you work. And I certainly don't care what school you went to. Although your biological age does happen to be a personal fact that interests me, I'm much more interested in how old your WISDOM and your PHILOSOPHIES ON LIFE make You.
How you handle certain situations and why... Your thoughts and feelings on past relationships w/friends and lovers... Whether or not you understand that feelings are VERY DIFFERENT from thoughts... What your overall philosophy is on life, relationships, love... and anything else you speak with silent lips.

Your Psyche is Blue
You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you. By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go. While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side. When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you. When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding.
Your Pride Quotient: 20%
You the furthest thing from prideful - truly humble. You don't consider anyone or anything beneath you.
Guys Like That You're Sensitive...
...And not in that "cry at a drop of a hat" sort of way. You just get most guys - even if you're not trying to. Guys find it is easy to confide in you and tell you their secrets. No wonder you tend to get close quickly in relationships!
Your Aura is Blue
Spiritual and calm, you tend to live a quiet but enriching life. You are very giving of yourself. And it's hard for you to let go of relationships. The purpose of your life: showing love to other people. Famous blues include: Angelina Jolie, the Dali Lama, Oprah. Careers for you to try: Psychic, Peace Corps Volunteer, Counselor.
You Will Be a Cool Parent
You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law. While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top. You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!
You Are a Ring Finger
You are romantic, expressive, and hopeful. You see the best in everything. You are very artistic, and you see the world as your canvas. You are also drawn to the written word. Inventive and unique, you are often away in your own inner world.
You Are the Super Ego
While some people may think first and act later... you often don't act at all. You rather be safe than sorry, and you take ethics pretty seriously. Like everyone, you have some pretty crazy desires. But unlike everyone, you restrain yourself. You have high standards for your own behavior. And you happily exceed them.
You Are 56% Open Minded
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.
