People say that I am:
|
|
True.~ Loyal.~ Caring.~ Weird.~ Funny.~ Comfortable.~ probably other things too but that's what springs to mind that some have said about me.~
|
|
Things that have bothered me:
|
|
*FIRST OF ALL,Because i can't figure out where to say this i'll just say it here: PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE SENDING ME FRIEND REQUESTS. I really enjoy having friends but you need to make yourself a friend before asking to be on my friendlist! Makes sense, don't you think?! ;)~*
Lying. Lying REALLY is unacceptable to me. Infidelity. If you want someone else don't date me. That's simple, isn't it? If you're already married, I won't date you. Friendship is still acceptable. Lying is never acceptable (except about birthday surprises, of course).but i'm not huge on getting surprises. What else? non-disclosure (such as hiding things like sites they visit, 'friends' they have, etc.) if there's "nothing going on" then why don't they share it with me? Sure, I don't expect to know everything all at once. maybe not ever depending on how old someone is as there is more to know the older we get. but the basic concern is honesty, right?

I am looking for:
|
|
Honest, overall happy/the cup is half full types of people are good friends. I know we all have downer times but be someone who has happy times too, okay? My big brother/best friend died just before Thanksgiving and that has devastated me but I still find happiness in life daily. that's sort of what i mean. Yes 'stuff' happens; but be a positive person dealing with hard things and not a negative people making good things hard. does that make sense to you? Hope so! :) Friends. always open to new friendships!~ :)~ More than friends. I quit looking but not hoping.but sometimes people can be so disappointing so I try not to set myself up for it anymore. But like I said. I still hope.~

I am looking for a personality like:
|
|
I like being with people who are conversive but don't have to have center-stage constantly, if you know what I mean People who laugh easily and comfortably are people I enjoy (and I don't mean those who nervously or stupidly laugh at any little thing). Sometimes I think it's just chemistry that makes people at ease with each other.some 'fit'.some don't.ya know? I like people with some kind of creativity inside them whether it's musical or artistic or crafty. but that doesn't mean i dislike people who feel they have no creative bones at all. I like people with a modicum of intelligence and that doesn't necessarily mean book-learning since life is one of the best teachers (some people just don't learn). I don't care if you can't spell as long as I can figure out what you're saying. but if you can't spell c-a-t or r-o-c-k or something equally as simple I might wonder if you're truly over 18yo! ~lol~ ;)~ I'm not sure what about me makes people comfortable but I seem to have little problem making friends. My ex used to say if we walked up a sidewalk in town for five minutes I'd make a dozen friends and collect as many phone numbers or email addresses.this isn't altogether untrue even if it is exaggerated. I seem to have no problem talking to complete strangers nearly anywhere as long as I don't feel like "I" am "on the line" (like if i'm attracted to the person, or trying to get a job from them, or i have something to lose). if I'm just out for a nice response, friendship, conversation.I feel very at ease talking to anyone, really. and I think that makes them more comfortable as well. Once an ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend told me she had wanted to hate me but really ended up liking me a lot and that i had a very "non-threatening aura" about me.lol.not sure that's good or bad but she's not the only one who has told me that. It's pretty funny. Maybe it's because I have never been interested in other women's men and when my male friends have girlfriends I tend to talk with the girlfriends more than the guy. i don't know. I think that helps.~

Are you willing to compromise in difficult times and situations?
|
|
I agreed to be available to help my ex and his girlfriend with their baby son, even though she is the one with whom he was cheating behind my back. eventually i realized i really never was in love with him even after eight years together. I do love him as a great friend but it never was that "give your heart the flutters and your stomach the butterflies" type of thing between us. We were good friends that took it too far and now it's right again. and I have a little blue-eyed red-headed boy going on 5yo that thinks I'm great in my life. so it worked out all right. Some people think i'm nuts being friends with my ex and his wife and son. but some people have a different experience with their ex's and some people just can't forgive and move on. They DID ask for forgiveness. so that was mature and helped tremendously.it took them a year after our split.but the point is, they did it. Compromise isn't easy. just often the best way to handle something and remain human.~

My typical day:
|
|
What's a regular day in my life like? lol. on a workday i get up as close to 4:45am as I can force myself and i'm out the door by 5:20am to clock in at work by 5:41am. I drive kids around in a school bus for the school district I live inside the confines of, and I have a F.I.T. kid on my morning route and two of them on my afternoon route. These are "families in transition" or homeless kids usually living in shelters of some sort with one parent, usually. They often live outside our school district so we drive further to get them and bring them home, all in an effort to keep them in the same school all year to give them some stability, security, and the best chance at a successful education as we can contribute to their lives. I get back to the transportation center around or so. Sometimes I come home around 10am and do whatever. nap, watch movies, grocery shop. sometimes coworker/friends and i go to lunch together, sometimes some will come home with me and have lunch and watch a flick. Sometimes I drive a midday run which is typically taking home am kindergarden kids and taking pm ones to school. Whatever I do, at 1:40pm i clock in for my afternoon route taking kids home from school, starting with my highschooler FIT kid, and then my ECEAP (early childhood ed-basically better preschool), then my first elementary school, and on M and Tu i also drive home an afterschool math program of kids at another school in 3rd and 4th grades. I get home around 7 or 6 pm depending on the day of the week. Once home. sometimes I chill and read or watch tv a bit, write letters, check messages online, return my phone calls or make promised ones. I am TRYING to get myself to bed by around 10:30pm on worknights but it's not going well, but i'm determined to try still. I'm a major nightowl and would rather Stay Up till 5am then Get Up at 5am.neverless, my job dictates otherwise. and i like my job. On weekends I do stay up really late though, and sleep in when I can. Some weekend nights I take my ex's 4yo son overnight to give he and his wife some time on their own and to get some hugs from the little guy who is a total cutie. (yes, my ex and i get along really well, but it's been almost 7 years since we split and we're grown-ups so what's the problem?) Sometimes I have a friend over to hang out or go see them. Sometimes I spend time with my family that is here (Mom, little brother and his wife and four kids). the rest are not in Washington State, unfortunately. I like to read, write poetry and short scenarios/stories, bake sometimes, go for walks especially down on the pier nearby at the marina, go for drives but gas is so freakin' expensive!!!!.

My Wish List Includes:
|
|
If i could have ANYTHING I wished for.I'd open a club and recording studio with an attached art studio somewhere in the greater Seattle area. The club would be on the SECOND floor with valet parking on the lower level and some space for shops on the first level that would be open during daytime (non-club)hours. Parking would be free to patrons who paid cover charge on nights cover was collected and on nights without cover parking would be paid for as long as the licensed driver drank only non-alcoholic drinks all night (therefore being the safe driver in the group). They would have to state as they came in that they were designated driver and give up their ID to the bartender who would run them a tab of their softdrinks or non-alcoholic choices. At the close of the night they'd get their ID back when they paid the tab (signed the credit card receipt) and a parking voucher to give the attendent as they exited the garage giving them parking for free. The studio would cater to local bands at decent rates for studio time. Once bringing in enough cash, my hope would be to employ some very talented studio musicians to play for artists without a band of their own or persuing solo projects away from their regular band. The art studio would employ cover art artists on a commission or per-job rate to design cover and inside art for the CDs. We would either have an area for mass production of the CDs or work with local companies and provide the master copy for duplication. The Studio would be soundproofed and therefore available for use day or night. It would have a separate parking area with a separate parking entrance, secured, so that musicians would feel secure carrying their equipment and instruments from vehicles to their studio space, and there would be lockers in each studio space for bands to secure instruments if they wished to leave them while recording a project over a number of days, for convenience. We would offer the services of a recording engineer (myself or someone else employed by me) or they could supply their own engineer. ANYWAY, that's a 'quick' overview of something I'd like to do (and yea, i have an AA in Audio Engrg. so i'm 'qualified' to do this.) I'd also like to get a book published sometime. I'd like to see the bridges of Paris and other parts of Paris, and also would love to see Italy. I'd like to take a train ride that took at least two days just to be on it overnight.again (haven't since i was a kid). I'd like to renovate a warehouse with a great view of the ocean (Puget Sound qualifies) into a living space. it would be OKAY if that living space was the top couple/three floors of the building the club/studio was inside. I'm sure there's more I'd like to do but we'll stop here for now.~ (No, I never want to bungee jump.) hee hee.~
The song I put on my profile on July 5th is Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow: Picture~
