About Me

Hello and welcome to "My"Space...as compared to YourSpace. lol Anyway...My name is Iris. Those who know me would tell you that I am a deeply caring, deeply loving person who has unwavering loyalty toward those in my sphere. I am beautiful, sexy, funny, curvy, generous, and highly intelligent. I wake up pretty happy and try to go to bed the same way. I believe that everything in between is just life...that everyday I should do the best I can with what I have and let that be enough. Having said all that, on my flip side, I have extremely low tolerance for bullshit. I don't bother anyone and I don't care to be bothered. You'll only get so far with annoying me and mine before I take aim at your ass. And I don't miss. Ever. You toss a pebble too many my way and I'm for damn sure launching a grenade at you in response. That's why I am also known as Quiet Storm. As Big said, "If you don't know, now you know..."

My Interests

I don't believe in limiting myself, so I guess I'm interested in just about everything you can imagine. I like to travel, mainly by car, train, or bus because I'd rather experience life up close than view it from afar. My life is a soundtrack so I enjoy listening to and supporting music. I'm earthy in a heavenly way, so always watch the Earth do Her thing. When not working or bullshitting here on MySpace I try hard spend time with those I care about catching up and checking in. I have three cats so I guess you can say I'm an animal lover. I can get lost for hours reading, I dance wherever and whenever the mood strikes and I sleep in as often as humanly possible. I enjoy art (I prefer Southeast Asian and Indian) and languages, especially Latin. I recently finished school so that I could pursue my life and career goals of helping others overcome obstacles and live life to the best of their abilities. I work a lot and am learning how to relax, but it's hard. I enjoy cooking (don't let the good looks fool ya, I can get DOWN!) I also enjoy going out with my friends for dinner and drinks. Especially the drinks. We like to drink.

Your Candy Heart Says "First Kiss"
You're a true romantic who brings an innocent hope to each new relationship.

You see the good in every person you date, and you relish each step of falling in love.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a romantic dinner your sweetie cooks for you

Your flirting style: friendly and sweet

What turns you off: cynics who don't believe in romance

Why you're hot: you always keep the romance alive What Does Your Candy Heart Say?
You Are A Lily
You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.

People see you as their rock. They know they are able to depend on you.

You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.

Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. What Flower Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Ballsy, adventurous, creative, courageous people who know what it means to be loyal and worthy of trust. Who stand by their beliefs yet are willing to listen to others. Who know that life hands you nothing, you must work for and appreciate that which you have and consistently try to do better. In other words, people like myself! : )

What Iris Means
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.

You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.

You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Aries live life head first; after all, those horns on your head are not just for fighting. Your headstrong nature can make you a "battering ram" and woe is the person who stands in your way.

Aries are noted for courage and leadership qualities, primarily because you are nearly always ready for action. The need for excitement pushes you into new territory -- and as long as you are ahead of others while demonstrating confidence, chances are that they will follow you. As self-ordained leader of the pack, Aries fight for what you believe to be important. But it's not that Aries are fearless. Your courage is more of a commitment to face your fears and overcome them.

Aries motto is "Ready, fire, aim!" It may be backwards for others, but you'd rather figure out what to do while you are doing it. Impulsive actions, however, can bring you your share of trouble. While others are gathering information to make informed decisions, you are already on your way. As such, you could suffer from false starts. In fact, you Aries are so good at starting things that you can be off onto your next project before completing the previous one. As you Aries mature, you learn to slow down your reaction time in order to think about the consequences of your actions.

Element: Fire

Fire signs are naturally warm. A fire gives light and heat, but it doesn't get depleted as others feed on its warmth. One candle can bring light to a room and it won't burn any faster if ten people read from its light than if there was only one. Fire doesn't plan it next move; it isn't logical. It simply is in the moment and will burn what fuel is available without judgment or forethought. For this reason fire signs can successfully rely on their intuition and survival instincts.

The fire of Aries is spontaneous and hot. It's like a pile of dry kindling that burns fast but cannot sustain itself for the long haul.

First House: Self

The First House symbolizes our physical body and our personality -- how we appear to the outer world. It's not necessarily who we are; it's what we bring to a situation and how others see us. It represents our childhood, the beginning of any activity or even the start of a new relationship. It's not, however, about the other person; it's about how others see us. No doubt, everything starts with the First House.

Key Planet: Mars

Mars is called the "Angry Red Planet." In Greek mythology, Mars was the God of War. But Mars isn't only about fighting; it's about going somewhere, going anywhere. If someone is in our path, then, perhaps we must fight with them in order to keep going. Mars is like the gas pedal of our bodies. It's represents how we move forward in life. In any chart, Mars offers clues as to how we express our basic energy. As the key planet of Aries, it reminds us to "just do it."
