About Me

"I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve." John Mayer..............Shy, Easy going, Liberal but mostly apolitical, Fiercely Loyal, Generous, Quiet, Unambitious but always trying, a Perfectionist and a Procrastinator, Non-judgemental, Nurturing, Peverse but I hide it well (most of the time), Humble, I like to Romanticize, Accommodating (is that a pro or a con), Bipolar and prone to fits of Bitterness ...... And anyone that says otherwise is itching for a fight!
Another badass quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...

How Will You Die?

MY RESULT: Really Bad Shrimp


You’re not an aggressive person, and you’ve got a lot of good stuff going for you. None of that’s gonna save you from your careless eating habits.
Wanna ward off your death for as long as possible? Sure you do. Be sure to cook your shrimp thoroughly to kill any Salmonella bacteria, leave it at room temperature for no more than two hours before you eat it, and never, ever order seafood at a restaurant that’s run by zombies.
