I am here for Friends

About Me

Hi! I'm Shelley.
I am a workaholic and love it.
I work two jobs - One at the paint department at Lowe's Home Improvement, and run my own painting business. If I take a week off of one job, I work 30 hours a week. If I am doing both, I work 70 hours, 6 days a week. I go to college full time, which adds on another 5-7 hours a week. I'm crazy tired after a few weeks of that, but the money helps me to keep going. I am looking for a job which will allow me a little more time at home and a little more rest, but in general I love to work. I'm looking for a career that allows me to work with tons of people as I'm extroverted, and travel is a plus.
I live alone, have 3 birds as pets, and a whole 800 sq. ft townhouse mostly to myself. After what I lived in a little more than a year ago, I am enjoying the freedom beyond immensely, I feel like I can breathe again!As for looks, I am short and very skinny (too skinny actually) because of my extraordinarily good metabolism and active lifestyle. I have short brown hair right now, used to have long hair for years and years, but went with a hairstyle that fits me better.
I am a spiritualist, not at all Christian but I do think a lot of ideas in that religion is right, it's just not "The Way". I believe in a big cosmic machine, not necessarily a God, but not necessarily nothing either. Everyone has their own beliefs, respect them and share them, but don't force them. I rarely talk about my own religion, and rarely like talking religion at all anyway.
As far as friends go, I tend to keep a little private with my myspace, most everyone I have friended I have met in some way. People are cool to talk to, but my myspace is more for fun than to meet people really. I mean, with my semi-workaholicness, I really feel blessed with the friends I have and want to spend my little free time with them over lots of new friends. Therefore I almost always friend only friends - few bands, few musicians- just those I know.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Not really anyone in particular...though people who want to comment about my dulcimer playing are encouraged, welcome, asked to comment and let me know what you think about this rather unusual instrument. Also others who are asexual are welcome.

My Blog

Wow, I rarely use myspace.

I seriously need to blog more often, but with as much of a workaholic that I am, time, and material, does not come to me often. I should be doing college right now actually.Since it's been almost anot...
