We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop? Seriously.

About Me

First, I was scolded for having too pink & girlie of a page... so I tried to find something more... well... "me." Then, my page got a new blue face-lift, but of course, that looked a little like I was trying to decorate for a baby shower. So... then I was forced into thinking harder (a task I often try to avoid). What, exactly, was "me?" And as I picked up my drink, it dawned on me. So, there. You can shut-up now.
In lieu of babbling about myself... I thought I'd let these quiz things, do it for me. They are quite addictive & oddly on target most of the time. I'll let those who really know me decide.
Your Five Factor Personality Profile
Extroversion:
You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time."
Conscientiousness:
You have high conscientiousness. Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life. Most things in your life are organized and planned well. But you borderline on being a total perfectionist.
Agreeableness:
You have medium agreeableness. You're generally a friendly and trusting person. But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism. You get along well with others, as long as they play fair.
Neuroticism:
You have medium neuroticism. You're generally cool and collected, but sometimes you do panic. Little worries or problems can consume you, draining your energy. Your life is pretty smooth, but there's a few emotional bumps you'd like to get rid of.
Openness to experience:
Your openness to new experiences is medium. You are generally broad minded when it comes to new things. But if something crosses a moral line, there's no way you'll approve of it. You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.
The Five Factor Personality Test
You Are Champagne
A true mystery, no one can quite figure you out... That is, until you start drinking. Then you tend to let loose. You're fun to drink with, but it definitely takes you a few drinks to loosen up. You prefer to date a man who likes the finer things in life... like a five star dinner with that champagne. What Alcoholic Drink Are You?
You Are a Strawberry Margarita
You're so sweet it's a little overwhelming, and people are a little afraid of corrupting you... It's a little difficult to imagine you with a margarita. And you're truly a different person after you've kicked back a couple! What Flavor Margarita Are You?
You Are an Orange Martini
Everyone's favorite drunk, you're fun, flirty, and charming. Unfortunately, you often spark jealousy - and unintentionally start bar fights. You should never: Drink and dial. You'll just end up with multiple booty calls at your door! Your ideal party: Is huge and lively. You love to work a crowd. Your drinking soulmates: those with a Blueberry Martini personality. Your drinking rivals: those with a Dirty Martini personality What Flavor Martini Are You?
What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort.
You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.
You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you.
Your near future is likely to be filled with great successes and accomplishments. You just need to figure out how to get there.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.
Inside the Room of Your Soul

You Are a Total Girlie Girl
You love looking good, and wooing men with your womanly ways. You're so feminine, men are in awe of you ... which is a very good thing.
How Girlie Are You?Seriously, I don't think I'm that girlie, but whatever... ok, so I do own a purple marabou pen. That means nothing. Right??
You are a Total Romantic
For you, love is like a fairy tale. Or magic. Or a Meg Ryan movie. Problem is, you sort of want all three. You bring the spark in the relationship. In turn, you expect your guy to keep the fire burning. Not a bad deal, as long as you find the right Prince. Are You a Romantic or Realistic?
I'll let you wonder about just exactly what it is that we do best...

My Interests


Supermassive Black Hole Lyrics ..
Always been a bit of a shopaholic...
Favorites include: White House | Black Market , Victoria's Secret , Pottery Barn , Bombay , Ulta , and who doesn't love Target ??? (Oh, and I'm becomming hopelessly addicted to eBay ...)

It was recently pointed out to me that my eating habits were somewhat questionable in nature... Just because I have a drawer full of snacks in my desk, doesn't mean I don't always eat right... And so maybe the people at Burger King know me by name... Whatever!!

Do I believe in horoscopes? Um... well, I tend to put a lot of faith in the little things, so... maybe. And this particular horoscope...? Freakishly accurate on many things... Whatever that means.

You Are A Maple Tree
There's not anyone in this world quite like you.
You are full of imagination, ambition, and originality.
Shy but confident, you hunger for new experiences.
You have a good memory and learn easily.
You are sometimes nervous and always complex (especially in love). What's Your Celtic Horoscope?
