Define myself A-Z

I have a pretty big heart, which has occasion been troublesome (I fall in love easily, for ex.), but is more often a good thing I think. I just like helping others, improving the world, loving my family and friends, taking care of what I can, when I can, how I can.

One of my favorite activities. Of course, the person I kiss has to be worth kissing.

I make mistakes. A lot of mistakes. I hope you like to forgive because I apparently like to ask for it. It’s not that I do it on purpose. Quite the opposite. I just can’t seem to get it right. I’m a hot mess.

I cannot pick a restaurant to eat at or a meal to eat for dinner, or sometimes a snack to tide me over. It is really ridiculous. I’m like do I want this or that, this or that. You might as well just pick the restaurant and I will go with you. Just don’t order for me. I can talk for myself.

I am constantly obsessed with my health. Not because I am some health nut freak, but because my health is not so great. I have a chronic illness, plus A.D.D., plus a myriad of other small complications and random surgeries and a plethora of medications and therapies to keep me running. It is exhausting just thinking about it.

I love to play games. I like word games, board games, and the occasional card game.

Favorites include Apples to Apples, Word Slinger, Boggle, Mah Jongg, Scattegories, Skip Bo, and Uno.

Two reasons here:

1) I can be a smart ass, but not all the time. I do know there are inappropriate times.

2) I love to freshen up my life- my routine, my schooling, my career, my writing, my goals, my route home, what I eat, what kind of books I read and movies I watch, the decor in my home. When I was little I used to rearrange the furniture in my bedroom at least once a year, if not twice. Call me easily bored, call me flaky, but I believe that fresh has always been best. ;)

Not just because I have a degree, but because I strive to learn everything I can. I am always learning something, whether it is a language or a culture or about history or politics or social justice or new words or a new friend. I love to learn new things.

This word has negative connotations, but what it really means is I feel everything intensely. I don’t create drama. I have all my feelings up near the surface so everything, the good and the bad, I feel in a dramatic way. It makes for a hard break-up or a hard time recovering from loss. But it also makes for kick-ass good things too, like love and hope and amusement and creativity.

I get confused easily. It’s okay, it just happens. It has to do with the mixture of ADD and fibro fog. It’s just something I deal with and try to let it roll of my shoulders instead of letting it weigh me down.
