Hmmm, well... I spend a lot of time nurturing my relationships with friends, family, luvahs... ha! ;)
I try not to take advantage of or waste the time I have here ~ I try to keep balance and find love and humor in everything.
Once I fall in love with you, I'll be your friend forever if you don't hurt me to the point of no return. Hence the exes who are now my great friends. :) Life is sometimes about forgiveness, and I forgive easily but I don't forget... I don't let hate eat at my soul because we're all human and we all make mistakes.
I get paid for what I enjoy doing... how fabulous is that?! I'm a graphic/web designer and I loooove my career! I'm contracting here and there and just registered for school full-time again, pursuing my Bachelors of Creative Design.
As far as relationships go, NOT my strong suit. I figure, as long as I give it my best and give myself honestly, that's all I can do, and with each break-up, I become a better, wiser woman.
I'm just living and learning in life, trying to stay happy and keeping my loved ones close... and if you aren't true to me, you aren't worth it. Write that down.
Oh, and THIS IS OUR YEAR CUBBIES! ♥

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are nothing like your Christ."
-Ghandi
"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."
-Gloria Steinem
"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."
-John F. Kennedy
"Talking about music is like dancing about architecture."
-Elvis Costello
"The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"We are all one. We divide within"
-Josh Joplin
"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."
-M. Monroe
"I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just ... poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed so you'd be spared your pain."
-Ra's Al Ghul, Batman Begins
"Happy are they that hear their detractions, and can put them to mending."
-William Shakespeare
"Sometimes with the worst in life, comes the best."
-Unknown
.. You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
