Yep, you're definitely a Virgo. *Waving* Hello fellow Virgin. Nice to meet you and many of the same likes and dislikes you share. =>

Forgot to add, I blushed at the TMI thing. In my mature age, I've become brutally honest, almost to a fault. I'm also a realist and don't waste too much time/energy with people who are surface/superficial. I'm not TMI to any Tom, Dick and Jane, but my bossom buddies (those intimate 3 in my small circle), I can TMI anytime I open my mouth.

Are we twins?

I love engaging conversations as well. I feel you on music which feeds the soul. I love eating. lol. Sometimes I push it. I like positive energy. Co-sign the intimacy. I love being myself, and being free to be myself. I plan to overcome my adversity. I always have overcame it, so why let it stop me now?

Bad kids irk me, and their parents irk me even more. lol @ over share. I am guilty. I love articulation myself. Sometimes I do fail to communicate effectively. I guess that's my stubborness. The children are the future - at least that's what Whitney Houston told me, so there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect mines.

Good post, Jewel. And no, it's not just you either.

My dear sister you KNOW why this one hits home with me. Will this world ever be safe for children?

By the way, It's good to read your blog. It's been way too long.

#10 made me think of all the children in Darfur. Its a shame that our government is not doing more to help.

darius - #10 could have easily been my #1 like. it's a great feeling; a truly great feeling.

jennell - it's been a while and thanks for remembering me. i guess i've captured your thoughts in my dislikes list.
