I recently had a birthday and am now 32, but most people say I look younger. I feel like a child inside my head, yet I have no kids, and I love playing video games and sitting in the grass enjoying the sunshine. I love swimming, hiking, singing and being spontaneous.
I don't have a lot of time to play video games at this point in my life and I'm not as good at it anymore. My reflexes are slower, I get confused more easily when trying to find treasures/meet goals in games, I get more frustrated, etc... But I still enjoy them overall. I've found I have to look at it all differently: I used to feel the need to beat games and be a "pro"...now I'm just happy to play at all, regardless of how well I do. :)
Sometimes I worry too much what others think about me. I can be too eager to make people around me happy and I sincerely want others to hold me in high regard. I usually put others' needs before my own, and that can be a very bad mistake to make. I don't like to be the center of attention, but eventually I feel left out if I get no attention at all...like most of us I think. I usually think up the best responses to conversations later or after the fact, and then it gets on my nerves thinking of all the things I could have said.
I obsess over diet, nutrition and exercise....I know I'm part of a huge crowd here! I love to try new diets. I check my scale daily and try to exercise 3-5 days a week for 45 minutes to one hour. I'd like to lose about 10 pounds--even though I know I don't have to--hopefully that would trim down my thighs a little bit. I'd be fine if I just maintain my current weight, however.
I'm almost done with school now, with only four classes left. It has been a long three years since Jan. of 2009 when I enrolled at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC to get an Associates' degree in Web Design. I currently have a BS in Graphic Design...and that's about what it's worth to me: a bunch of B.S.!!!! I LOVED my time at Mount Olive College, but it's more due to the people I met there rather than my learning experience. Being in school and working full-time has almost killed me, but I'm getting through it!! You know that cliche "they" always use about whatever doesn't kill you...? "They" say it makes you stronger. ;)
I was an only child for the first twelve years of my life. I now have one sister who is almost twenty. As a child I was very imaginative...I guess I still am, but I stay so busy that my mind is usually jammed full of work/school stuff. I loved to play in the woods behind my house. That was the stage for my most wild imaginative adventures. I made a bow and arrows out of sticks, vines, etc.. as well as a sword and other weapons. I put together a ramshackle tree/club house. I had some areas that I designated as "portals" to enter into another secret world... I pretended I didn't hear the cars going by, kids screaming or Moms gossiping coming from outside of the woods. I had a favorite tree that my Mom called a "sitting down tree"; it was small, bent over against itself and easy to climb. I read in it all the time, swinging my feet back and forth. I ran up and down muddy hills, got Georgia red clay all over my clothes and challenged the boys. One time, when I was seven years old, a boy a year older than me hit me in the face. He broke my stick arrows and told me to leave my woods! I hit him back, with a stick, and he ran to his apartment crying to his mommy!
I'm divorced as of September 2008. I was married for five years and regret that it didn't work out, but you never know what the future will hold. Sometimes, through a combination of things we can and can't help, two human beings can really make an explosive chemical reaction together that in the end creates a true mess of things.
Hmm...I was born in Atlanta, GA and lived there for the first fifteen years of my life. I've lived in two NC cities, Albemarle and Charlotte, as well as Chattanooga, TN...Unless you count the four years spent at my first college, which is in Mount Olive, NC. (Don't you love it when you get asked on applications what schools you've attended and their locations?...I do, I'm always thinking "Yeah, I attended Mt. Olive College...that's located in Geneva, Spain.") So I've lived in a few places!
