I usually don't try to describe myself because I don't think I can adiquitly do so. So what I do is take the things that people have said about me (all the good one's) and put them down. Like for instance, I have been told that I am a genuinely kind person. That I give to other's without wanting something in return. Yeah, that is true I guess but there are times that I do expect to receive after I have given something. But for the most part, I guess you can say I am a humanitarian. Which I find strange because I prefer animals over people when it comes down to it. Animals don't intentionally hurt you where as human's do. See why I prefer them?
          Anyway, thought I come off as a tomboy, I really do have some girlish attributes. I am just pretty good at keeping them hidden from public view. I do love to cook and bake, give me a recipe and I will have fun with it. Yes, I do have a stuffed animal collection. My most cherished one's are named after the people who gave them to me. I do like to get flowers from guys and I love all the romantic type stuff. Just like every other hetrosexual woman I know, I do have my fairy tale dreams and Prince Charming.  But always, always ALWAYS remember that these are things that I don't show to the general public. I was raised with mostly male relatives most of my life so I am a tomboy.
Really though, when I think about it most of my interests aren't really gender specific. Reading, music, poetry, gardening, cooking, baking. I don't see where any of those can be just male or female interests. Yeah, I like to go camping, 4 wheeling, shoot guns (never at living things) and working on cars. But my Papa told me that I can enjoy those things and still be a lady.  So neener neener
        I also tend to be the person to stand up for others. There are causes I feel are very worthwhile and need more attention than what they have been given. Take, for instance, the kids in my neighborhood. Many of them live in a single parent home and their mother/father is busy working to make ends meet. To alot of them, I am an adopted mother. The reason for that is that I will go out and do activities with them, I also listen to them like young adults. I don't look down at them and if there is a problem I can help them with, I will. I have sleepovers in the summer in my yard, slumber parties, take them for nature hikes and hopefully this year, we can go rock hounding. It's the least I can do for them.
         Really, in all I consider myself to be a simple person who takes delight in simple things. I may have a contradicting personality at times but in the end, everything adds up. Alot of my friends describe me as "being just me." I am just another person in this world trying to live my life and stepping on as few toes as I can. I don't intentionally try to harm anyone and I apologize to those I do. I am me and that's all I ever want to be.
