"I look through my window at a world filled with strangers—
the face in my mirror is the one face I know."

"My thoughts be my own."

probably not as intelligent as I think I am.
not as well educated or knowledgeable as I'd like to be.
reasonably secure about myself most of the time.
thoughtful, pensive.
creative, especially in writing, but afraid of revealing too much of myself through fiction. Very self-defeating . . .
pretty successful, but petrified of failure.
emotional at times (but not outwardly).
very perceptive.
passionate about people and things I care about.
a performer wannabe.
not always friendly or outgoing, but a good friend to those who make the effort (I think).
not chatty. I don't like talking about nothing, but won't shut up when I'm interested.
better at listening than talking. I have to be drawn out.
somewhat of a loner since birth. Simon and Garfunkel said it succinctly—"I am a rock; I am an island."
endowed with my dad's wicked sense of humour.
playful.
running out of things to say. :)
