About Me

Hey, people. Life is what we make it and I'm having fun making people laugh. I work at a urologist's office as a receptionist and the patients love me.I have a weird sense of humor, have started smoking and drinking again because ? -- am outgoing around strangers and too nice for my own good. I wasn't really "allowed" to have friends or go anywhere when I was married, blah, blah blah...Got divorced a couple of years ago, but moved back in w/the ex for financial reasons. The ex and son sleep all day and stay up all night playing xbox, so mostly I just do chores around here. Unfortunately I can't afford to live without a roommate and don't know many people down here. Now I mainly take care of the 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 bunnies. My daughter loved collecting strays. Now that she's in the Navy, we're all pretty bored.I lived in Joplin for a year, but my neighbor advised me to move when the dudes across the street were caught looking in my windows at night. He warned I was going to get hurt. So...Why is it so hard to find people who aren't into mind games? Is life so boring that fun means hurting someone? I just don't get it.Life is supposed to be fun! This is all we have--don't waste it, people.I found this layout design on PureLayouts.com - check out their MySpace Layouts .

My Interests

I'm kindof that "unwritten" book, but I've always liked music (!), laughing, people, plants, dogs and other animals and fresh air.

I'd like to meet:

The possibilities are endless! I enjoy meeting people in general, but don't keep anyone around who tends to be a downer and sucks the life out of me--unless, of course, they pay my salary.
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

Music:

I love every kind of music from Peter White to Collective Soul to Nine Inch Nails and Cold Play, 3 Doors Down. I'm not really into rap, but like Alicia Keys and Usher.

Movies:

All movies that make me laugh, gasp or clap.

Television:

I'm not a big TV watcher, I'll watch the news, American Idol when it's on and the Travel Channel/Discovery Channel.

Books:

I like to read exciting, intelligent books that have female cops, doctors, lawyers, etc. Clive Cussler writes great books, but I feel a little guilty and testosterone-y when I read them! I found out when I moved out that I didn't have as much incentive to read.

Heroes:

All of us!

Heartache

I'm still smarting from the heartache my "family" caused Sunday evening. I came in from oiling my teak rocking chair outside and had a missed call on my phone from my soon-to-be-ex's cell. Thinking it...

Is Love Possible?

I want to believe love is out there somewhere. I've been cynical and hardhearted too long. I need to know if it's possible for me to actually love a man. I want to, really. I love men. You guys are so...
