I've been pegged an ESFP, supposedly a Vata, definitely a Leo, born Year of the Dog, and youngest of three (2 older sisters). I have a terrible memory, dyslexic, and can not spell. For whatever reason 2s, 5s, and 7s look alike to me. Oh God! When you add a s to them they are truly indistinguishable.

I do my best to follow that moral compass and try my best to live by The Golden Rule, even when dealing with dicks of NYC. Is that allowed? Can I say that here?

Recently a very sweet elderly lady and I had a conversation, it ended like this, "Your kindness and sensitivity remind me of my nephew. His name is Daniel as well... Daniel Day Lewis." That's a true story, she is related, and I will probably tell this story for the rest of my life.

practicing patience and kindness while navigating the sidewalks and subways of nyc.

Strongly believe that radical silliness and/or empathy is the best and easiest solution to any problem.

My bills get paid by managing a plastic surgery practice and skin care company. I imagine it's like running any other small business.

"Inhabit the beauty that lives in your beastly body and strive to see the beauty in other beats."

I am really good at weeding poison ivy cause I am not allergic. That's more of a superpower though.

A friend told me I smile more and laugh louder than most.

A purpose driven appetite. I've become aware of how important a healthy diet it is, high protein and lots of vegetables. The Vita-Mix has changed my life and I am sick of cleaning my juicer out. With that said, my sweet tooth currently holds the Heavy Weight Championship title.

Why haven't I been to the Coney Island Aquarium?

Metaphysics.

I'm more of a house cat but I know how to kick it.

First crush was Ginger from Gilligan's Island, then it quickly became the Professor. Now it's Jimmy Carter. And when I say Jimmy Carter, I really mean Larry David.

Side note, when talking about JC and LD I'm talking about the content of their character. Nothing physical.
