I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm open minded, brutally honest, spontaneous, sarcastic, frustratingly stubborn, and soft-hearted (ahem... I mean TUFF!!). I love to argue. I love building stuff and working with my hands. I love to play the drums among other instruments, and I love to make people laugh. I'm NEVER on time, I cannot cook at all, I can't stand to see suffering, and I try to fix everything. I'm an incredibly good listener, I like to take care of people, and I have relatively broad shoulders to lean or cry on. I will never grow up. I buy Happy Meals just for the toy and am the first to run out to play in the rain or snow. I'm quick with one-liners (can't help it), I am a quiet leader and a willing follower, and I believe that happiness far outweighs and yet defines success. I'm a 30 year old landscaper, painter, law-enforcement student, artist, cynic, mother, builder, dreamer, lesbian, singer, and general pain in the ass...............................

Old journal entry...

Hmmmm...

If it's true that: 'Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise', why are chickens so poor and stupid?
