How do I describe myself to you? I'm a woman. I'm a girl. Basically, I'm like no one you've ever met before... then again, I'm as common as the girl next door. I'm as predictable as the sunrise, but never on time. I'm everything you've ever hated about women and everything that makes you love us.

I love pink (the color) and Disney Princesses. My toes are raerly without red nail polish. I never leave the house without my hair done, but make-up gets only a 50% chance. (I'm not very physically high-maintenance, no matter how this sounds. I am pretty girly though.) I'm afraid of spiders, but not to the point of a phobia. Some days I think I'd like to sky dive.

I'm really loud and love life. I love to smile, and am generally happy. I love people in general. I like to do the people watching thing. It's so interesting to see how people interact. One of the best things about shopping malls is watching people.

I can spend hours reading a book or playing on-line. I love to be in the sun. My perfect day would be laying in the sun by a pool, getting in and out of the water at my leisure, reading a book or just sleeping in the sun.

If you want to know what I'm looking for in a man it's this: dating. I want someone who will take me out on dates. Dinner, the movies, walks by the lake... whatever. Just as long as it's just the two of us. That's the way to my heart. Just take me on a date, I'll most likely love it.

I am passionate, loud, and cluttered

Praising God, raising my beautiful daughter alone and working a job I adore.

I'm also learning and accepting new things about myself that other people have probably known for years.

Listening, but I don't pride myself on that too much because I don't believe it's all that difficult.

Caring and giving people chances.

Spelling, I can spell most anything... if I can't, I'll find out how, and usually remember for the next time.

That brings us to the next one: Remembering. I generally have an amazing memory.

I'm really good at discussing nothingness until it's dead. In fact, if you start talking to me, and just let me babble, I will probably fill up the silence with random, useless facts about myself. (Be careful, you may learn things you never wanted to know!)

My laugh. It's loud, it's not beautiful, it draws attention in public. I love my laugh, but some people never get used to it.

My smile - it's not perfect, I've never had braces. People still say it's sexy.

God - He has really blessed me
My family - There are so many of them and they're always there for me
My friends - We've really been through a lot together
The freedoms this country is famous for - I can't imagine living anywhere else
Water - It's the basis of life!
Books! I love them! The way they feel in your hands, the way you can get lost inside them, the way they smell! Books are amazing things!

How fast my life is flying by.
How to follow God's purpose for me.
How to give my daughter the best life while still fulfilling my own dreams.

Why we (as a planet) are so dependant on oil.
Why people aren't doing more to conserve energy and save the Earth.
If I even care about such things, or if I just feel like I should. (So far my opinion is that I care... but I'm still thinking about it.)

Why people are so dang fake.
Why people subject themselves to the things they do.
Why people are so judgmental.
Why people cheat when they're "in love".
Why people act like love is something to be toyed with, when it's the greatest gift God has given us.

Why I can't bring myself to go sky-diving. (It really looks like something I want to do.)
Why I don't have a tattoo, and on the flip side: why would I ever want to get one?

Cuddling with my daughter and going to bed early. Or hanging out at my best friend's house watching a movie.

Private? I don't know what to admit. Everything I admit could be taken wrong by someone. I think private things should be shared between two people once they start getting to know one another. On the other hand, I'm not exactly a private person, so I don't know what to consider private. My life's an open book. Ask and I will tell. That's better. Whatever question you have for me, just ask and I'll probably answer. (Unless you embarass me, then I might not.)

You think that you'd like to know more about me.

You have a funny people-watching story to tell.

You have heard of and seen the movie "Gidget".

You have a favorite song by Frank Sinatra or the Rat Pack that you're sure I'd love.

You're not a liar by nature or habit.

You don't smoke pot more than once or twice a month (other drugs are unacceptable in my book even once a year!).

You like to dance.

You understand when I say books have an amazing smell!

Or maybe you're just bored and looking to message a random person... no matter the reason, I'll be sure to write back, even if it takes me a day or so.
