About Me

Music got me through my angst-filled youth. I found it again and have embraced all the wonderful feelings it gives me as I begin to count my age backwards. I love meeting new people. I love life and living it. I consider myself a Well Functioning Adult, and best of all, I'm Not Dead Yet. ========================================================== I suppose I should update this little box. Everything still stands, butâ€¦I like to laugh. I like to make YOU laugh. Being offbeat gets me through the rough spots in life.Basically, I am a nice person. I hold doors for the next person, bend to pick up something you dropped, always say please and thank you. I am here to listen if you need to vent or want an unbiased opinion. I am honest and will not BS you. I do, however, love sarcasm and use it freely and frequently. *wink*I really have learned a lot at my age. Yet some days I only want to be 17, carefree and alive! I was never stupid, but I let myself act that way sometimes. Now I can see the wisdom of keeping a clear head, while still having fun.I have discovered I LIKE to keep people a little off-balanced about me. I like shocking people. I might look like a boring old woman, but inside I have a spark that is not about to go out any time soon.I like meeting people and chatting with them, whether it be online or in the real world. I like different music, eating out with friends. I like pretty boys in eyeliner and stories about them. I am quick to anger, have little patience, I show my feelings on my face. But my hugs are strong and meant to be shared. Stop by and say helloâ€¦.I donâ€™t bite. Well, not the first time. *weg* ============================================================ ========================================================
