And who might that be? Read on...I'm laid back. I hate drama and if you manage to make me lose my tempter I might never forgive you. I'm as judgemental as anyone but as a rule I make a point to be open-minded and I'm always willing to change my bad opinions. I'm too sensitive. I was raised with unconditional love and generosity, and anything less than that from those around me sends me into confusion and doubt. I'm independent. I don't bring my problems to others and I hate letting my happiness depend on anyone who isn't equally dependent on me. On the other hand I thrive on helping other people with their problems. I come across as shy, but I'm actually not. I'm an extrovert in every way, but it's hard for me to completely be myself unless I feel close to someone. Im a big dork. I really am. I love to laugh and I will do whatever it takes to snap out of a bad mood or pity party. I have a wild and crazy side but its a little known fact these days. I'm optimistic and idealistic but always preparing myself for the worst. I'm passionate and emotional but I don't often express it. I'm not sure if I was born that way or if past experience has conditioned me to be like that. These reservations don't extend to the written word, and (clearly) that's how I spill my guts. I'm not normal. Neither are my friends, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesnt hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor." ~Hugh Elliot~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." ~Douglas Adams~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Grief is a most peculiar thing; we're so helpless in the face of it. It's like a window that will simply open of it's own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it." ~Arthur Golden, Memoirs of A Geisha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length." ~Robert Frost~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Besides the fact that you're the hottest, smartest, sexiest, greatest, awesomest, most fantabulously amazing chic ever, I wanted to say...
