About Me

I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
-Dave Matthews Band-

If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
-Gin Blossoms-

I'm going crazy
A little everyday
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
-Sheryl Crow-

Hosted at MySpaceNow.com

You Are Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
You just don't know when you've had enough (or too much)! What Flavor Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Are You? who me? 0:)
You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.

While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a great sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
