I am very very shy, and quiet. But once you get to know me, I can be very talkative. I am physically disabled. I have been since 2003. I live with moderate to severe chronic pain. There's info on chronic pain below. Most people are misinformed about chronic pain, which is why I wrote down the info on chronic pain. I live with my parents and my siblings. I am the oldest. I have two brothers (who are 23 and 21) and a sister (20) I am 29. My best friend in the whole world is Penny Palayre. I've known her since kindergarten. I trust very easily. I am also very forgiving. Sometimes way too forgiving. I don't like to hold grunges. I like closures.


I have learned to stand up for myself the hard way. I love to garden. I just picked that up this year. I write poetry. It is my passion and therapy. I love to shop. I am a shopoholic. I love being on my computer. My room is my safe zone. I am single. Probably will stay that way for a long time, for I am not ready to date. I am very picky. I love the colors purple and blue. I consider my cat, Otis, to be my best friend as well. He is my companion. My baby. He is spoiled. And he knows it! :) I love to listen to music. I am very into the weather. Love the weather channel, and disaster movies, my favorite disaster movie is the 10.5 series. I have to have my soaps! I cannot live without soap net. :) I am into scrapbooking as well. I love to babysit, which I don't do anymore.


I love being around children. I don't work. I am on SSI and DSHS. I am partially deaf. I wear hearing aides in both ears. I am very open minded person. I tolerate alot of things. I don't get offended that easily. Even though some people might think so, because of who I am and what I believe.I love my faith. It is VERY important to me. Anyone who knows me, knows that. One person who I look up to and admire, is my sister. She is my best friend. I love American idol. I love Star Trek. (all of them) I tend to stay away from crowds. I can be very social able around my friends and people who I know, and yet I can be the quietest person in the room, with people who I don't know. I love the backstreet boys. I have been a fan since late '97. I love Clay Aiken. I have been hurt so many times by so called friends.


I am the type of person who will give you chances. More than once even. If you are worthy of that chance. I don't care what other people think of me. Or who I hang out with. I am a very sensitive person. But yet, it takes a lot to offend me. I am very patient. I am very protective of my family and friends. Who ever hurts them, they deal with me. Anything else, just ask.
