Copy Cat

Ok- so.... I'm a Romantic Helper, which means...

and...
I am warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.
How to Get Along with Me

Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!
Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
Share fun times with me.
Let me know that I am important and special to you.
Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

Reassure me often that you love me.
What I like about being me...

my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
being unique and being seen as unique by others
having aesthetic sensibilities
being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me
knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
being generous, caring, and warm
being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
having a good sense of humor
What's hard about being me...
experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
feeling guilty when I disappoint people
feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
expecting too much from myself and life
fearing being abandoned
obsessing over resentments
longing for what I don't have
not being able to say no
having low self-esteem
not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tune in to them

These things kinda blow me away... sometimes they seem soooo wrong, but others, like this one, kinda nail it.

Told ya I was bored....

You Are a Black and White Cookie

You're often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.When you're good, you're sweet as sugar. And when you're bad, you're wicked!

"It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can."--Sydney Smith

Yesterday was my dad's 74th birthday. Today my brother and I are making dinner for him and some family.

Today I will try to remember....

I cannot make my Mom well, but I can make her smile.

I cannot take away my Dad's bitterness, but I can sweeten his day by making his favorite cake.

I cannot make my Brother let go of his pain from our childhood, but I can sit next to him at dinner and remind him that he is not alone.

Today I will do what I can... and be content with that.

In the Dark

So- I seem to be having issues with light bulbs! Now the kitchen light has burned out. That makes… kitchen…hallway… front porch… and Volvo’s left head. I have electricity…I have light bulbs… I have very high ceilings and no ladder! Yeah, I know I don’t need a ladder for the Volvo… I just need a man…or a wife…

So I should be cleaning my apartment right now. Even though Kien says I don’t hafta should :)
I do have a dinner guest coming tonight, so I need to clean. Hey maybe I’ll make him climb and change light bulbs!

Of course, instead of cleaning at the mo’ I am blogging. Stole this from APj and Lelly…

ABCs a la Nic

A- Accent- I love em all. I have a habit of picking up the speech patterns of the person I am talking too. Unfortunately, they sometimes think I am mocking them. I’m not, it’s unconsious.
B- Booze of choice – Not the drinker I once was, but I still enjoy Guinness. I love Boddingtons, but it’s hard to find around here. Often default to soda water with lime.
C- Chore I hate – all of them!
D- Dog or cat – I have one of each. The cat is soooo much less trouble. Love the dog, but they are so high maintenance!
E- Essential electronics – I absolutely HAVE to have something that music comes out of. I’m pretty fond of the coffee maker too.
F- Favorite perfume(s)/cologne(s) – Allergic to most of the women’s stuff. I usually prefer natural oils, sandalwood, ginger and dragon’s blood is a really nice blend that Cindy invented.
G- Gold or Silver? – Silver! If it’s gold, it has to be white gold. Platinum is best!
H- Hometown – ah jeez, (mumbling) Fresno, California
I- Insomnia? – yep. Less often as I get older. I am, however, the cure for it as well, just ask any man who’s been in my bed…right off to sleep they go…
J- Job Title – well for the job that pays the rent, it’s Office Manager for Banfield, the Pet Hospital; for the job that feeds my soul, it’s Artistic and Managing Director of Jade Ed Gypsy Productions.
K- Kids? – none yet, still hoping for 1 though.
L- Living Arrangement – with a sexy black girl named Veruca and a hot older blonde named Bodhi. OK, OK… with my dog and cat.
M- Most admired trait –I don’t know if anyone admires it, but I think I am an extremely sincere person.
N- Number of Sexual Partners- hmm… 1 more than I should have.
O- Overnight Hospital Stays – 1 when I was very young, not even sure what for. None since then.
P- Phobia – Claustro
Q- Quote – “Sometimes a banana is just a banana.”
R- Religion – If I go to church, it’s Science of the Mind, not to be confused with Scientology! My philosophy is that there are many paths to God, and whichever works for you is fabulous… provided you do not obstruct or repress or belittle any one else’s path.
S- Siblings – Just one brother, but he moved out when I was 7, so I have an only child mentality goin too.
T- Time I wake up – as late as I can and still make it to work on time. As early as possible if there is somethin fun to do.
U- Unusual talent/skill – I can turn the contents of nearly anyone’s fridge and pantry into a gourmet meal.
V- Vegetable I refuse to eat – I like all veggies.
W- Worst habit – smoking
X- X-rays – usually take my own at work, saves money.
Y- Yummy foods I make – authentic Cocktail de Camaron is one of my favs. My Aztec Brownies are very popular.
Z- Zodiac sign –Aquarius, of course.
