So this is the internet. In the spirit of JM, everyone is friendly and supportive here and that is great. BUT what are you like in real life?

I am opinionated, sweet, loving, strong willed, very outgoing... I speak to everyone and anyone... total ADD and interrupt people all the time without meaning to which comes across as arrogant when it is just my mind racing with so many great ideas that I cant get them out fast enough for fear of forgetting them! compasionate, kind, stubborn, a brat... I want what I want when I want. I love my family but can be too bossy with my children at times (they put me in my place, lovingly... I am impulsive. I don't like gossip for the most part but will always listen to a juicy story. And I hurt when my friends are hurting.

What about you?

[Kary♥RN]

I am told I wear my expressions... I could never be a good poker player! I wear my heart on my sleeve. I am a taurus through and through.... I am stuborn, bullheaded, caring, honest.. (sometimes too honest, words slip out out sometimes.. ) I am a true friend... (but again.. will tell you what you might not want to hear) I like to "know" in other words not matter what have all my ducks in row.. have a plan.. even if the plan falls through..... I want to have a back up plan in place.. a plan B, C, D or even Plan E if I need to. I am easy going... to a point. Don't screw me... Or you will have an enemy for life. I hold grudges.. But that doesn't mean I would help that person.. but would complain about it LOL. I love my friends like they are my family, sometimes more.. since I can choose them.. I feel for people and Animals... I hate to see anyone in pain. And I put everyone else ahead of my self. I would go without for my friends and family to have.

Hhhmmmm....let's see. Way too emotinal and somewhat impulsive. I am not bossy enough with my kids which drives my hubby crazy because he feels like he has just one more teenage daughter in the house. I love to dance in the kitchen with my kids, I love going on vacations and I sometimes forget to pay the bills until I get a shut off notice . I love people and always try to listen when they have something to say...but I tend to not have the greatest self esteem. I love life, I question God at times and I don't like to see anyone get hurt. I sometimes let people walk on me just because I am so not good with confrontation. More or less a happy person though!

I will tell you a bit about myself...even though I haven't been a member of the board for very long. It seems like there are some great folks on here, so I plan to hang around

First, most people would comment on my ability to feel for folks the general population loathes or ignores (at least on the whole). I feed homeless people on the corners (every one I pass), I counsel pregnant drug addicts (that was my job before I had Liam), I try to seek help those with mental illness (volunteer basis at a local shelter). They don't scare me and I find I feel valuable when I am doing something to better their lives. Naturally, when you work with that population, you have to have a thick skin. I do get my feelings hurt, but you would never know it. I don't openly rebel against people or things...I do it silently. And my point is always very obvious.

I am incredibly stubborn, which is one feature that has helped save my life. I do really love life, after a brush with death when I was 17. I am an incredibly lucky person...things just fall into my lap. Which fits with me being patient. I really can just wait around for something to happen. Which drives my mother nuts! Lol. I am VERY outgoing, I can talk to anyone about anything. I have a few very close friends and they have been my friends for a very long time. I am very committed to them and only occassionally will I make a new one. I don't do superficial relationships. A biggie is that I love my dogs. I would have a farm if we could...I would have tons of animals!! I just love them and they relax me to the nth degree.

Great post!! So fun to hear how everyone describes themselves

Well lets see.....First off I am a born again Christian. I am definitely very stubborn, and hard headed sometimes.. I am musically talented.. Played the trumpet most of my school years.. Took up piano and the flute my senior yr of high school.. Unfortunately I wear my emotions on my sleeve.. I will bend over backwards to help someone.. I am always quick to forgive which has many times come back and bit me on the butt.. I don't like conflicts or arguing... I try to avoid those topics.. I seem to snap sometimes and yell before I know what really happened.. So I guess I am short tempered... I am normally a laid back person for the most part unless I am in the two week wait and then that's all I talk about.. I love to sing, and sometimes if I am in a good mood I will sing in the shower..Not as much anymore since I have to make my showers quick due to small water heater. I can be lazy at times, but I think everyone goes through that phase.. Other then that I put my son and my husband over myself.. Just habit I do that to those I love.. I am easy to make friends with, and most of my true friends will tell you that you really can't do any wrong to me.. I might get mad and we have an argument, but I always forgive forget and move on.. That is what God calls us to do....

I'm a Pisces, so by nature i'm emotional, and caring. I have the tendency to care for others well being before my own. I would rather read myself calm, then clean the house til i'm calm. I'm also a worrywart. If there's something to worry about, generally i'm up tossing and turning over it. (Rent being paid, bills being paid, dr apps, EVERYTHING!) I actually have a standing prescription for ambien and ativan if i'm really having a hard time letting it go, and relaxing. Though at the same time a lot of the worry is my fault. (Forgetting to pay bills until I get the shut off notice) I love to live life though. I play outside in the water at every chance I get. I'm closed around meeting new people, but once I get to know you better i'm really easy going. (My husband says too easy going with the daughter......she walks all over me lol) I'm a fiercely loyal friend, and someone who will always be there for you.

I really like this thread more than I thought I would! Keep them coming girls!

And Julie, we can switch households for a week, my boys would love it

[ohnicole]

I am one of those people who doesn't really show their emotions (except when I'm with a few chosen people). Once I love you, though, I'll drop everything in my life to help you when you need it. I tend to make sarcastic jokes a lot of the time- and I try to laugh my way through stressful times instead of cry (IRL, JM is my place to cry it out ). I LOVE being outside, and if I had my way I would do nothing all day but trail run, hike, canoe, bike, take my doggies to the dog park, sit by a camp fire, and sleep in a tent by a lake in the woods. I kind of have an obsessive personality- instead of getting into a real routine, I will get really into a TV show for a few weeks, then I will get into a fitness class, then I will go crazy over training my dogs. I definitely go in spurts I will usually go with the flow to avoid arguments over stuff that I don't think is important, but if someone REALLY wrongs me, I will give it to them! I definitely do NOT worry about keeping a clean house- I think spending time with DH, my furbabies, and my friends is way more important that whether all the dishes are clean or there is dust on the furniture (aka I can be a slob ).

[supermom111681]

Hmm, let's see, I tend to be a fairly regimented type of person and get really moody and ****** when things don't go my way. I love like there is no tomorrow, but also never forget if you have hurt me. I get along with anyone, but am slow to warm up unless you come to me first to talk. I find that I fit in better with soccer and baseball parents better than I do with football parents.

I work for my Dad, but really wish I could stay home and take care of everything here and be able to be there at the drop of a hat for my kids. I have two step kids, but love and treat them as if they were mine since birth. I used to hate their Mom, but get along with her now.

I love my dogs and feel for everyone that is "different". I have a lazy eye and was born with it, teased all my life, so my personality grew very large to win people over.

I think that's pretty much it.

[~LaurenNoel~]

I am Christian. I go to church, don't watch R movies, pray all day, read The Bible, ect. I can be very intimidating (I am told by everyone) because I look very confident and I have no problem speaking my mind. I am also pretty smart, lol. I had a 4.0 throughout school and I went to a great private college. But... I am actually extremely insecure, too sensitive, and a total push-over when it comes to Wesley and my dog, Louie. I am extremely loyal, loving, and I care way too much about people I barely know. I am one of those weird people that cries if I try to watch the news. I am not working right now, but I used to be a manager at an SPCA. It was my dream job, and I would do anything to get into that kind of work again.

[Banned-Pumpkintime]

Well 1st things 1st. I am a wiccan and i dont like people who preach their religion onto me and tell me there religion is better than mine or that i should convert. I am who i am and if you dont like it well to bad. Im Obsessed with Gerard Butler. He's sexy so can you blame me. Poor DH has to watch all his movies with me lol. But then again he makes me watch things with him that i dont like so turn abouts fair play.

I love rock music. I dont like pop music much. My 2 favorite bands are Disturbed and Rammstein. Im a bit of a tomboy. Im not into girly girl stuff. The only time i have ever worn a dress was for me and DH's wedding. Otherwise you will never see me in a dress or skirt. I dont like people invading my space. I dont like being hugged much except by DH. I dont hardly hug anyone else. Dh is the only one i say i love you to first. Everyone else has to say they love me first before i will say anything.

I love cats. I have 1 right now but DH and i are getting some more. I believe that cats are my protectors and that if any ghosts are in the house that the cats will keep them away. And yes i do believe in ghosts.

Well that is me in a nutshell lol
