| I have a tendency to overanalyze everything that I do and say to try to find hidden deeper meanings. It is a way for me to learn more about my subconcious and to better know how I will fair in any given situation before I'm actually faced with the situation. |
| Melodramatic? Um.. yeah. I fight it as much as possible but I still tend to make things out to be more dramatic, more shocking and generally more important than what they are. I believe this is partially due to unfullfilled fantasies of being an actress and partially due to not getting enough attention when I was a youngster. |
| I'm ok to talk to if we are discussing general topics but few people ever get passed my surface level. I'm heavily guarded and anyone who has broken through will tell you that there's so much more that I DON'T say. |
| My parents split when I was roughly six or seven years old. My father remarried and so I grew up with an older step-brother, older step-sister, younger step-sister and my younger full-blood brother. My mother (whom I don't see) also remarried and graced me with a younger half-brother and half-sister. |
| I cry. A lot. I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm sad, I cry when I'm simply overwhelmed, I cry when I'm pissed off, I cry when I see something sweet and I cry for no reason at all if I'm premenstrual. |
I'm a very independent person. I think for myself, make my own decisions, and I have control of the remote even with a husband. | |
| The bathroom is the cleanest room in my apartment. Even though first impressions are usually of the livingroom, I feel that you can tell how clean someone is by looking at their bathroom. Anyone can shove clothes and magazines into a closet to get rid of clutter but it takes some work to keep the toothpaste out of the sink and the hair off the floor. Who would want to sit on a toilet that's gathering scum? |

There are very few people that can keep my attention. I tire of people very easily. If I'm not absorbed by you, I'll probably forget to call and quit asking you to do things together and eventually our friendship will fall to the wayside. It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I've exhausted your possibilities for longterm. However, if you are one that intoxicates me, expect me to want so much of you that my efforts become mistaken for clinginess. |
| As creative and as talented as I am in the arts, I can't sing a note for the life of me. My vocal stylings are left to moments of driving solitude where I can keep the windows up and the music cranked. (oh, and that 1st place I received for my vocal solo in 8th grade? What was that woman THINKing!? You should have seen my Freshman year choir instructor's face after he asked me to sing the scale unaccompanied. NOT one of my most graceful moments.) |

Procrastination could very well be my long lost middle name. I always put things off until it's almost too late to get it done. For instance, I could write out a check for a bill, seal it in the envelope, address the envelope and stick it in my purse a week ahead of the due date but I guarantee, it will be late because I will put off going to the post office for a stamp. |
In all the tragic personality flaws that I have, I keep my sense of humor. Instead of becoming embarrassed when I say or do something stupid, I laugh. Finding humor in ourselves is important to keeping a low stress level and feeling healthy. Mahatma Gandhi once said "If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide." |
| Of course there's always more to say and I love to talk about myself with the right person. I'll just let you email me if you've gotten through all that and still want to know more. |
