I'm a slightly eccentric left-handed Cancer who likes unusual, unique, and underappreciated things. There is special place in my heart for deformed animals. I like sketching on restaurant tables that have the paper on them. When I look into the sky, I feel insignificantly small. I dislike defensive drivers but sometimes I drive just like they do. I think the top 40 is overrated. I secretly listen to country music when no one is around. I'm a military brat who has travelled everywhere. If you ask me where home is, I'll tell you England, because I have no real roots anywhere else and lived in England the for the longest period of time. My favorite state is Colorado. I don't have a favorite color because I think we're lucky to be able to see, but if you ask me, I'll tell you I look best in aquamarine. I used to wear all black because I was too afraid that wearing bright colors would make me look fat, and hid behind dark makeup because I wanted to invent me as someone else, but now I'm more comfortable in my own skin. I love horseback riding with a passion. I like art museums but don't know how to stand in front of a painting staring at if for a half hour with a pensive expression on my face. I laugh at random things and and believe in random acts of kindness. I envy people who can eat alone in a busy restaurant, and wonder what they are thinking. I love kids but am terrified of being a bad mother. I think that idealism breeds creativity. I love to write. I will probably stay home from work for a week crying when my cat dies. I love my family even though we're like a Jerry Springer marathon. I think MAC lip-glass is so yummy that I would rather eat it than wear it. I always tell people I can't cook, but I know I can. Misery inspires me to write. Sometimes I forget to pray when things are going well in my life. I have intense and unbelievably wild dreams and can't help but tell my friends about them even though I know deep inside that no one really wants to hear about them. I used to be a hard-core atheist but found God in 2001. Sometimes my faith is shaken and I lose faith in humanity. I talk too much. I believe cruelty is one of the saddest things on this Earth. I used to smile even when I was miserable. I have lots of secrets. Exposing my fears liberates my soul. I believe in callings from God, and I know mine. I love shoes and never get tired of buying them. Sometimes I shop as emotional therapy, and know it's only a temporary fix even while I'm doing it. I think everything is interesting, at least for a while. I don't like spiders, but feel guilty killing them. I used to want to be an actress, but realized over the years that I only wanted that because I craved fame. I no longer desire that. I can't wait to go sky-diving, but secretly fear plunging to my splattery death. I think that the eyes are the window to the soul - they speak volumes about a person. I fear hatred. I will almost always answer any question asked of me, even when I don't want to. I will always believe that love is the single most beautiful thing about humanity, and believe that it changes every person in a profound and indescribable way.
