I love the Yankees but tend to glare over when watching most other baseball teams play. Like all women, I have a shoe habit but I also love to walk around barefoot in the grass. I also have a sock fetish to boot the shoes and own probably 50 different styles and patterns. I'll bitch about the fact that it costs $5 for a tub of popcorn at the movies but will drop a couple hundred dollars on a pair of shoes and not even have buyer's remorse afterward. I believe in family values but don't believe anyone has a right to dictate who family is to me. I live with my best friend of the last decade (she is more family to me than most who are blood) and my daughter lives with me half the time and with her daddy the other half of the time. Shanna and I have almost always been total opposites. She's the social butterfly while I tend to stay in my own world most of the time. She is ruled by her heart, I am ruled by my head. We're teaching one another a lot of things. I'm learning that sometimes you do have to just let your heart lead you where it will and she is learning how to really think things through before she reacts purely on emotion. My daughter is my biggest inspiration. She makes me strive to become the kind of person that I would like to see her become. She makes me into a better role model and human being. I'm still friends with my ex-husband (and the majority of the people I've dated) and I like to think that we both know that we have one another's back if needed. Always good to have a big guy on your side. :-) I listen to an ecclectic variety of music with punk being one of my favorite genres but I work in a cube and like the structure of Corporate America (at least as a working environment). I have tattoos that were strategically placed so that they could be tucked away for those corporate days. Of course at this stage in my life I wouldn't mind getting rid of a few of them, but they are a part of my past and evidence of a youthful exuberance. I was born with straight hair and then when I became a teenager my hair curled so now I'm a naturally curly girl. I have a sibling who is in his 40s and a sibling in kindergarten (and a rack of them in between). Right now my baby brother won't speak to me and my older brother and I are closer than I ever imagined as children we would be.I love languages and can curse you out in about 6 of them. I love the English language and the complexities of it, but rarely think in actual words. I usually express to myself in numbers and colors. Is that strange? I don't like people who flex their power over people and hate being in the midst of violence, unless of course it is structured violence like boxing or something of that sort. I love to turn up the radio and sing at the top of my lungs but will not sing in front of anybody that I don't know unless you get me plastered and take me to a karaoke bar, but I should warn you that alcohol makes me tone deaf so don't even try it. :-) I like to build things with my hands and take things apart to see if I can figure out how they work. I love to cook with my specialty being Greek and Italian meals. I'm a pretty good baker, but I must warn that I will force my pastries on innocent by-standers to get them out of the house because I haven't much of a sweet tooth so no sense in it sitting around here! I hate tomatoes but love marinara sauce and other things made from tomatoes. I love NYC and everything that it has to offer and hope to return there to live again after my kid is raised, but for now I love living in Arkansas and having to get creative when it comes to entertainment. I like to go trout fishing down at the river for hours discussing loopholes in the Catechism. During the summer you'd be hard pressed to not find me down at the lake camping, swimming, playing on the toys, etc. I love to paint and appreciate art in it's many facets though I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination. That's more my siblings' gig. I am a complicated person who enjoys the simple pleasures in life. If this isn't enough information, then you're looking for too much on the internet. :-)
