~Lying is a huge pet peeve of mine. I don't do it and I don't like people that do. I've got nothing to hide, and it's really not worth ruining years of friendship. ~Do not ask me something if you want a sugarcoated answer. You won't get one. ~My friends and family are awesome. They've all helped me to become the person I am today. Without them, I don't know where I'd be. I would drop anything for them. ~I hate awkward silences. However, some of my most meaningful conversations never involved words. ~My thought process is extremely random and, generally, doesn't make much sense. I rarely finish a thought or sentence before I've moved on to the next subject. ~I have the worst short-term memory EVER! Keeping my attention is damn near impossible. The slightest twinkle in the distance could very well distract me ... even while listening to the most enthralling story anyone's ever told. May the force be with you in your attempt to make conversation. ~I have got the WORST independent streak. Bodily harm might be done to the brave soul who attempts to squelch it. You've been forewarned. ~Some people call me a *****, but you know what? I honestly don't care. At least I am ertive enough to know what I'm looking for ... regardless of whether I find it or not. ~As much as I'd love to think I've got myself all figured out-I don't. There's still so much to learn. I've got myself fooled-and everyone else, too. ~I am an emotional train wreck just waiting to happen ... I've just gotten ridiculously good at hiding it. Don't even think that I'll be easy to read. Your mindless observation of me and my activities does not mean you "know" me..at ALL. ~If you're thinking I sound bitter, I promise, I'm not. I've simply learned that life is what you make it. As bad as things might be, it's all in how you handle them. ~I am completely aware of all my faults and one day hope to correct them all. I don't need your help remembering ~Smooches ;-)
