About Me


Hmmm...nothing more self-serving than writing an autobiography eh? Let's see...I've been married for 11 years to my high school stud-muffin. We have 2 kids (a boy and a girl) and a dog. I work full time in a toy store and serve as an EMT for my city's crew. So that's me in a nutshell.
Personality wise, I tend to be somewhat quiet and reserved until I get to know someone. That doesn't stop my sarcasm from coming out though! ;) I've been told that I am quick-witted, but I think that just comes from saying what is on my mind. It takes me a while to consider someone my friend but once I do, there is nothing I wouldn't do for them. I can have a temper - takes a long time for me to blow up, but when I do, it's an explosion. Fortunately, it dies out quickly! ;) I seem to wear my emotions on my sleeve - I laugh hard, I cry hard...if I'm having a horrible day or a great day, it's obvious.
Want to know anything else? Tough! :)

Quick minded, you're also quick to lose your temper! The World's Shortest Personality Test

Personality Quiz

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
