About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

PLEASE READ!!!!!!!! I do not add random people. If I have never met you, or we don't already share a close personal friend, you are wasting your time trying to add me. I expect some type of intelligent conversation from people on my list..if you send me a message and an add request I MAY consider it otherwise you are wasting your time and mine.
“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.” Jim Valvano
A little about me...first and foremost..I think I'm an acquired taste..if you need someone in your life who will give you constant encouragement, laughter, compassion,and commitment, then get to know me..if you want someone who is fake, callous, and only out for number one..then look elsewhere...However, realize that once we make a connection, I can be quite overwhelming..and sometimes sufficating..I truly OVER ANALYZE everything..and I'm in my head WAY to much. I'm extremely neurotic, my insecurities surface quite often out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly. To love me is to love all of me, quirks and all...but in most instances it is worth the frustration I can impose..hahaha. Just tell me the truth and expect the same in return..
"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Carl W. Buechner
Family is the most important thing to me..and always will be.. people come and go in my life but my family always stands bye me.. I'm extremely lucky and blessed that even through all the crap I put her through with choices I have made in my life.. my mom is my best friend. She is always there to love me NO MATTER WHAT!!! I wish you all could meet her. She is my hero and teaches me everyday how to be a better person..
I am the true example of a Gemini...two very distinct sides especially concerning my emotions. My mood can change quicker than most people can change clothes. However, I am extremely straight forward, I will tell you exactally what I think, even if it hurts sometimes, but I try really hard to do it in the kindest way possible.. I don't like to hurt peoples feelings and tend to get mine hurt easily..what you see is what you get.
I'm quite the contradition...I'm a simple girl from NC, a counselor who works 8-4 everyday and loves what I do... But I ache for a more exciting life, more times than not. I dream of moving to the west coast, and living a completely different life. I'm just scared to make that move..Maybe one day I will meet the woman of my dreams and that move will be made without hesitation...I hope so...
"Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty, and each action will be meaningless. Truth and confidence are the roots of happiness.” I found this quote and it makes a lot of sense...
***********************************************************
When I love someone it is complete, reguardless if you are a friend or lover. I open my heart to friends way to easily and to lovers very haltingly. But once I decide to let someone in, TRUST is the most important thing. I have had my heart broken and find it very hard to trust in that capacity anymore..I would love for someone to have the courage to take a chance and change my outlook on "Happily Ever After" I dare you all to try...
Ok on a lighter note..YES, my tongue is that long..yes I have been told I am a good kisser..and yes I am very shy..if you ever encounter me, YOU will have to make the first move..I have no confidence when it comes to intimate types of things. heehee. I love to laugh, and sometimes laugh so hard my sides hurt, slow dance to old songs and listen to the rain, especially inside a tent. I enjoy fishing with my dad all day and saying only about 20 words but feeling like we had the best conversation because we were together..I can honestly lay in bed all day on a Sunday and watch football, and think it is the best day in the world..I can have a terrible day at work, and come home and see my dog (Chance) and seriously think my day just got better..I wake up every morning ready to go to work, thinking I can make a difference in a childs life.
This last part is just a little fill in thing but, it actually is a good description of me..
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?
Some of my crazy friends and aquaintences. Enjoy.
