About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Most people describe me as sassy, independent, tenacious, out-going, out-spoken, fiesty and the like ... I have had people who have known me for a NY minute, call me sparky, mighty-mouse, fire-cracker ... you name it, I've been called it. I don't mind, really. Like Popeye says, "I am who I am!" and I know that I am never going to change. Why should I?
I would like to think that I am the kind of person that is fun to be around. I like being out and about and with people that know how to have a good time. It must run in the family because I am just as comfortable in my LaVar jersey as I am in an evening gown. I am mostly a girly girl. I like dirty jokes ... If I can "get" them. And besides ... I have been told on many an occassion that I have no sense of humor. How can this be true? I think lots of things are funny ... just not things that are about human suffering or about hurting animals or children. I can't help it. I have a weakness for humanity. I also have a very hard time understanding how things that could NEVER happen, be funny. Like Homer Simpson, Is it possible that he could be THAT stupid? No way. It's not possible. Therefore, I can't find it funny. ::Sigh::
I really think that I have always taken myself too seriously, so I have been learning to surround myself with people that bring the best out of my personality. After 29 years, I think I am starting to figure myself out. I had help, of course. Lots of it ... people, especially my family, my sister, mostly love to "tell me all about myself" and I don't mean in a nice way, people. ha ha ha. ;)

I'd like to meet:

Everyone ... We can learn something from everyone. You can never have too many friends! I have met so many people from Myspace, already. Some good .. and some bad. Some of the people that I have met will be lifelong friends. The best thing about meeting new people, besides getting to know them is that I am learning so much about myself... things I never knew before. I am so grateful for how different each and every one of us are ... I know it sounds cliche-ish... but hey ... they really is something to be learned by everyone. What am I going to learn from YOU?!
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to! How Machiavellian Are You?
