Easy to entertain, difficult to impress.

About Me

My name is Zara. I’m 28 years old. I have an Associates Degree from SLCC. I’m a specialty house painter with Transformation Painting. I love reading and writing. I love color, shapes, and design. I love my family. I go to the gym. I like to eat. I like beer on tap from local Breweries. I like to watch movies. I like annoying music. I’m fascinated by people’s stories. I’m obsessed with human interactions and relationships. I like to organize things. I like talking to people who like me. I like telling stories about my life, thoughts, and family. Nothing about me is subtle. I’m tall. I like changing my hair and appearance. I like black shoes. I like bragging. I like shock value. I like attention. I like dry humor. I have big teeth. I like robots. I like butterflies. I like purple. I’m lusty. I’m confrontational. It is hard for me to hide my thoughts and feelings. I believe in justice. I believe in truth. I believe everyone has the ability to grow. I forgive easily. I like progress. I like productivity. I cheer for the underdog. I fear rejection. I fear abandonment. I fear being misunderstood. I fear ruts. I need routine. I need love. I need reassurance and praise. I need sleep. I need physical affection. I need to be heard. I need to express myself. I need to be creative. I need people. I need my mom. I need calm. I need my stuff. I need pens and pencils. I need schedules. I need time. I’m way too entertained by myspace.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
