Open a window on your world for us. Tell us about yourself, what it is like to be you. Or describe a normal day in your life. You may want to tell us about your associations such as who you are in your family like the big brother or sister, the uncle, the black sheep etc. What are your expectations for your day? What are the things that you do when you get up out of bed? I am 35 years old. I live in Southern California with my bf of 2 1/2 years and a cat names Jenks. I do marketing, advertising, website building, and consulting online so I spend the better part of my days on my computer at home. When I want to chill out or just take a break I play online video games or watch movies on my computer. One of my main hobbies is pole dancing for fitness. I try to practice at least 4 or 5 times a week. I have been doing it for exercise for just under a year and I am getting into great shape. I am a bit of a loner and I enjoy my own company much of the time, but I am okay with me and who I am so that is not bad company. Now tell us about you.

I am a student studying at MVNU in Ohio, currently in the Social work progam. I am interested in becoming an advocate for people with needs that get the run around when they want help. I would like to work in the political arena with policies that effect the poverty stricken in the USA. I guess social justice might describe it better. I prefer cold weather over hot any day. I have a 5 year old girl that is the best there is. I love telling stories through poetry, or atleast making peole think when they read them. I am also interested in writing a book, but do not know what about yet. Maybe I can get ideas from the readers. If I ever get back into shape I would love to run races, but a draw back is I have sensitive skin. I also have osteoarthritis, which is a hinderence also. Before the disability I was a distance runner. I do not like socializing too well. I am 46 red hair, fair skin, and green eyes, and I am married to a pretty filipina.

Your life sounds almost idyllic. It may not seem like it to you because it is just your everyday. You have had to give up the sport you love due to your arthritis and that is not a good thing but at 46 years old I am surprised that you were still running until the osteoartritis stopped you. I was a distance runner in high school too and I continued running as an adult but the impact, especially the impact repeatedly over long distances is just more than most bodies are prepared to take. I hope you found another cardio exercise that still gives you the endorphin buzz without all the pain. Good luck with your degree, aqnd take the time to enjoy your wife and daughter while you can. They grow up so very fast. My oldest daughter just turned 20 in November and she also got married last year to a guy around your age. Somehow a 43 year old guy and a 19 year old wife seems worse to me than if she had brought home a kid with an earring in his nose, combat boots, and colored spikes in his hair.

I am a 51 year old Mother and Grandmother. I have 4 grandchildren (all girls) and 3 children (2 girls and 1 boy) I am very close to all my children! I am married to a wonderful man whom I will be married to 6 years in April. He is my soul-mate after 3 divorces. We are semi-retired. He works part-time at Walmart, and I have several money making projects online. I am very family oriented. All Holidays are spent at our house. We are in the process of selling our house and moving closer to the kids and grandchildren. Me and my husband are very young at heart. He is 62 and I am 51. We love rock and my favorite band is ACDC, in which I hope to attend one of their concerts. I work out a lot with my 20 year old daughter who is training to be a personal fitness trainer. I like being in shape, even though I am not too fond of working out at times. Lol! I am told that I look extremely young for my age. Maybe because I have never acted my age! Lol! I have a pretty good sense of humor and I love to laugh and cut up quite a bit ; ) My favorite shows or movies is comedies. We are night owls and love to sleep late when we can. I love quiet times to myself. I am pretty hyper and have to be involved with something all the time. Unfortunately, I don't like to read, but my husband does. I try to eat right, stay in shape, and I am trying to quit smoking. I am pretty much happy go lucky!

Well being a conscious being makes you part of this weirdness that will always be there. Regardless of what's going on in my life I can always rest assure that it only gets weirder. I like to think, write music, listen to music, play video games and try to feel good.

i'd would like to believe that i am a straight person and wanting to follow that until the end. straight to me means - when you do wrong, it is wrong dont make excuses and take the consequences of your action. when the act is good or doing something productive to self and society it appreciate it and approve it. but once the action is deterrent to the growth of self and others, when it is hurting self and others, when it is hindering the productivity or progress of self and others, definitely, i will not associate with you, i'll stay away from that person. with values now a days going down the line, its really hard if you dont have a clear understanding of what is right and what is wrong, you might confuse yourself. and knowing that my profession involves clarifying values and faulty belief system, it could be difficult. do i get tired, yes i do. its very difficult to uphold to what is right or what you believe is right, for you got to be persecuted and ostracized. people dont like you, and they will be angry at you, they will hate you. it affect me sometimes. but constantly, i am guided by the thought that what i am doing is right and within the principle of goodness. So help me God! so

I am a working girl in her late twenties whose life turned upside down weeks ago when my father passed away. Now, I am forced to live on my own, to be strong and independent, and to overcome my depression. I appreciate the changes in my life and the people who are always concerned about me. I try to occupy myself by reading novels and my father's religious books. I also try to enjoy my job because it somehow distracts me from the sad realities in my life.

Being me involves the following things: get up around ten o'clock in the morning (although I've been sleeping in lately because I haven't been feeling well), get dressed, eat, etc. Then, I begin work while I listen to an audio book. In the evenings or late afternoons, I go out two to three times a week for various activities. I'm usually home by 10:30pm at the latest, work some more while listening to an audio book or DVD, and go to bed usually by 1am. Of course, this doesn't count any of the days I travel. This is just a typical day.
