What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I have a class A CDL. I used to drive bigass trucks for a living, but now I'm the housebitch for my breadwinning girlfriend who outranks me as a C# software developer which, as far as I can tell, means she presses buttons n' stuff.

I'm goal-oriented and really live life to the fullest... I've been told that I live on "Mariah time" which is apparently, "at warp speed."
For instance, I typically cram two weeks worth of activities into a weekend.
When people ask what I did over the weekend and I tell them (in chronological order), they commonly cut me off with, "Wow! That's a lot!" when I have only gotten up to Saturday afternoon or so.
Oh well... I'll sleep when I'm dead.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I was born and raised in Belleville, Illinois. I was an only-child. Even though I was adopted, I looked JUST like my dad. He was an adopted, only-child too. If I have kids, I'm adopting. My dad was a sniper in the marine corps and then a musician in a band called The Well Hungarians. He died of melanoma when I was 19 and he was 42. I miss him very much.

I am a woman of principle. I have overcome all odds to get where I am today.

I'm PRO - choice, gun, union, public smoking ban & mandatory random drug testing of professional athletes.

I'm ANTI- capitol punishment, patriot act, speech codes, perfume, censorship, circumcision & electoral college.

You should message me if Propose an edit

I'd really like to make some new friends. I like meeting new people who are cool and laid back and easy to talk to.

You are into hunting or trapping and would like to teach me a few things. I've only hunted a couple times but I LOVE it. If you would like to be a hunting mentor, HIT ME UP!

I have a hard time getting along with folks who are REALLY easily offended so that could put a hinder in our friendship if that's the case.

Conversely, if you are independent and friendly... well, I look forward to hearing from you.

I have respect for those who do what they feel is right as opposed to what is easy.

It bothers me when people put up walls b/c they've been .."hurt in the past..."
