– I am among millions of overweight fighting to make the image in the mirror match the image appropriate for society.
– I am not young which means I am older than young.
– I don’t wash my hair everyday. Sometimes, if it looks amazing I can go three days.
– I have a small mole I have grown to despise on my chin.
– I have a funny toe because I cut it off when I was around six or so.
– I hate to be outdone. I am competitive and I get depressed when I am not the best after giving it all I have. Dumb since I am rarely ever the best at anything.
– I wanted to be a Medical Examiner but I am an accountant because my HS councilor told me I should stay away from Math related fields…ha…I showed whomever they were.
– I am honest…too honest…unless honesty will hurt someone or make them stress for no reason and then I am a liar. Sometimes my pants would catch fire giving me away.
– I have been known to flip out. Like OMG she is totally possessed flip out….minus the peas soup…plus lots of snot.
– I am insecure…the thing I hate most about myself. My alter ego though…she lacks class and is totally secure in all the darkness the real me hides.
– I LOVE people…all kinds of people. I relate to nearly everyone somehow. The good, bad, and ugly…it is all beautifully human.
– I love good horror stories. I am a Christian so nothing is scarier to me than a good demon story.
– I tend to love people long after they are gone, long after they treated me poorly, long after we’ve moved on. Once I love someone I always do.
– I never quit
– I smile more than I frown
– I cry mostly when I am alone
– I hate the sound of my voice
– I love my family
– I hate water melon
– My daughter makes me laugh more than anyone else
– I love the sound of laughter
– I love to make people happy and feel guilty when I don’t

Hello 🙂 Dropping by again. I want to say it’s a nice list…but that doesn’t sound too right! LOL.
I used to love reading horror stories, now not so much. Maybe a good murder mystery, I love those. I think I have funny toes too…my 2nd and 3rd toes seem like conjoint twins!
The media and fashion industry needs three tight slaps for making it seem that being a stick is beautiful. As long as one strives for being healthy, in whichever way suits them is fine. Variety is wonderful. Looking like clones isn’t 😛
My biggest lesson is to not think that the human race is made up of morons (me included as I *do* give myself mental facepalms a lot of times!) but strangely I can relate to most people too!

I zeroed in on the “overweight” comment, as well. It’s a problem area for me. I REALLY do not think that you are. You’re beautiful, whatever your weight may be. I cannot imagine you’re 40lbs overweight by any standard other than wanting to fit into your HS jeans. 😛
