I became quite depressed and shortly after my furbutt Bailey entered my life and cheered me up I am 33 in a couple weeks, Nov 19, never married, no kids... don't really know if I even want any... I agree with Marleysmom, they are an inconvenience. Ironically kids love me. I have fun with them, I'm a kid at heart and they are attracted to me. They all call me auntie and some even tell me they wish I was their mom. I kindly tell them that I wouldn't be 'as cool' if I were! LOL Every once in awhile I wonder if I'll regret not having a child later in my life.

I am not close to my mother or two siblings and haven't seen my family in nearly 10 years, pretty sad huh!?.My mom and I never really got along good, we are totally different people, distance has helped our relationship a bit, we now live 2,500 miles apart! haha My brothers & I are mentally and emotionally close, but physically we are very far apart. I had a falling out with my father almost 2 years ago, spent a year not talking to him and now we only see each other maybe 4x a year and we only live about 8 miles from each other. I DESPISE his wife and if I never had to see her again in my life I would be happy.

I am an Esthetician, but am unable to work currently because of ongoing health problems. Sucks.

I love love love food! I think I am a food addict, and although I weigh only 110lbs and always had a high metabolism, I realize I cannot be such a piglet now that I'm over 40 I love food too... actually I'm ALWAYS hungry, I don't know why. I could eat nonstop all day long. I am not NEARLY as thin as you, but considering I probably take in 4,000 calories a day I'm ok to be a size 8/10, but I am trying to lose the 15lbs I put on in the last 2 years to be a solid 8.

I am very soft hearted and probably overly sensitive, my feelings get hurt easily, and I also hate to see others hurting.I come off gruff... but I hate hurting people and I hate when I think someone is upset with me. I need to make it right immediately else I feel soo awful that I said or did something to hurt someone. I dwell on it sometimes until I talk to that person and explain/apologize. I am not sensitive though, been through hell and back over the years, kind of hardened me up. I more just let people go and don't look back. I have no tolerance for people who judge me or don't try to understand me and things I do, I'd rather just not associate with them... and yes I'm cold bc when I choose to do that, I am DONE with them. I recently stopped being friends with my best friend of 18 years. I also walked away from a 10 year relationship with my fiance, I just was sick of the games and his immaturity. I do forgive very easily though.

People perceive me as stuck up or standoffish, until they get to know me. Me too, because I wear brand name clothes/shoes/purses/sunglasses, etc.. , (I am a great sales shopper and I like good quality) or drive a new car or wear my sunglasses all the time, even indoors... I just forget they are on!

I love tattoos. Me too! Only have 2 but already mapping out spots for more. Last one hurt a lot... might take a year or so before I get another one.

I wish I had more patience. Me too! Probably one of my worst downfalls. My brain works quick, I think quick and sometimes I act before I think the whole thing through. Things usually work out but I expect people to know my train of thought and get frustrated or aggravated when they need more explanation. Like DUH, isn't it obvious!?!? LOL They are not mind readers. I get aggravated with people who are always aggravated or create their own problems. I have no patience for drama and people who look for it get no sympathy from me.

I find it hard to express my feelings to others, and tend to keep things inside.
Here is where we differ... I am such an expressive person. I am a Scorpio, I am first born and I am female. What a combination. Everyone knows what I think or feel without me even having to talk! That includes the good feelings too! I am happy a lot!

I also want to say, I'm EXTREMELY appreciative for every little thing that someone does for me. From my boyfriend bringing coffee in bed every morning to a simple postcard in the mail. I just love when people put thought into things. I never buy gift cards or give money for gifts to those I treasure most... I always make sure I put thought into gifts to make sure they know I listen to them and hear what they want/need. Small gestures like that make big impressions!

Good grief I could go on and on..time to stop now!

Wow, we have a lot in common!!!

I am also a life long student. 2 more classes until I get my BSBA... it's been 15 years in the making! I have a motorcycle license and I dream of owning a Porsche Carrera someday but an older one... I love the 1980s style, been my dream since I was like 15.

That some of the good, the bad and the ugly of me!
