14 Things About Me...
1. I talk to myself. A lot. Sometimes just thinking out loud, sometimes re-doing a conversation that already happened, sometimes practicing for a conversation I plan to have.
2. When I'm not talking to myself I'm singing. Anything from Lisa Loeb to System of a Down. I love to sing and I'm a bit of a karaoke hound.
3. I love the casinos. But I don't know how to quit when I'm ahead. I need a chaperone. And a leash.
4. I'm good at acting indifferent, but I really do care. I love as deeply as I feel, but I probably won't let you catch me at either one.
5. That Miss Independent thing? It's a front. I kinda do want you to take care of me sometimes. I want to feel long, strong arms around me and just once be allowed to be weak for a minute.
6. My son is the best thing that ever happened to me and nothing comes before him. He's my reason. This should have been #1. OMG I'm a horrible mother!
7. If there's one thing I want people to be able to say about me after I'm gone, it's that I was a good person and especially a good mother (see above). I don't want people at my funeral to say, "Yeah, she was pretty hot" or "Her boobs were really big". Both may be true ;), but I want to have a real impact on someone somewhere in this world--first and foremost my son.
8. I collect stars. And magnolias.
9. I love hazelnut candles. I wonder what my son is getting me for Christmas again :)
10. I am a total packrat and a slob. I have trouble parting with things that I have no use for whatsoever. Everything has memories attached to it somehow. I am working on "letting go" LOL
11. I hate housework. And I'm looking for a nice man with dishpan hands. :)
12. I love the crisp, fall air and the crunch of the leaves when I'm walking outside. This is my favorite time of the year.
13. I'm bored with people who feign interest in everything that interests me. I'm more intrigued by learning new hobbies and interests, hearing new ideas and different points of view. I have a very diverse group of friends and acquaintances--from all walks of life. Each one has a unique charm and a special place in my heart.
14. All I really want is for you to know me. And to really want to know me.
