The Window Shopper
Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDf)

Loving, hopeful, open. Likely to carry on an romance from afar. You are The Window Shopper.

You take love as opportunities come, which can lead to a high-anxiety, but high-flying romantic life. You're a genuinely sweet person, not saccharine at all, so it's likely that the relationships you have had and will have will be happy ones. You've had a fair amount of love experience for your age, and there'll be much more to come.

Your exact opposite:
The Stiletto

Deliberate Brutal Sex Master

Part of why we know this is that, of all female types, you are the most prone to sudden, ferocious crushes. Your results indicate that you're especially capable of obsessing over a guy you just met. Obviously, passion like this makes for an intense existence. It can also make for soul-destroying letdowns.

Your ideal match is someone who'll love you back with equal fire, and someone you've grown to love slowly. A self-involved or pessimistic man is especially bad. Though you're drawn to them, avoid artists at all costs.

If you see her out tonight
And she tells you that it's just the lights
That bring her here and not her loneliness
That's what she says but sometimes she forgets

If she tells you she don't need a man
She's had all the comfort she can stand
You best believe every word she says
But don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets

And sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore
She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore

So now she keeps it locked away
And it grows colder everyday
And it won't warm to any man's caress
That's what she says but sometimes she forgets

And sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore
She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore

If you see her out tonight
And she tells you that it's just the lights
That bring her here and not her loneliness
That's what she says but sometimes she forgets

Yeah, that's what she says, but sometimes she forgets
So don't you dare give up 'cause sometimes she forgets

my fave song of the moment...

2005-08-30T01:40:00Z

Miss me baby
When you hear our favourite song,
Miss me baby
And when you start to sing along
Think about all the times that we danced
In moonlight to it all night long, oh
Then miss me baby.

And want me honey,
Like you did the night you told me that you loved me
We couldn't wait anymore.
Left the keys in the door, took my hand
Pulled me down on the kitchen floor.
Yeah, we were that crazy
Then miss me baby.

Because when he's holding you,
Know that it's killing me,
Let my memory be the reason girl
That you can't sleep
And everytime you feel his touch,
I pray to God it's not enough
And that I've touched your heart so deep
Girl, you can't shake me
Cause I love you,
Yes I need you,
Miss me baby.

Miss me baby,
Until you can't take it no more
Miss me baby
Pack your bags and hit the door
I'm a man, I was wrong, forgive me
Come back home
I'll be waiting
Right here waiting
Miss me baby.

Because when he's holding you,
Know that it's killing me,
Let my memory be the reason girl
That you can't sleep
And everytime you feel his touch,
I pray to God it's not enough
And that I've touched your heart so deep
Girl, you can't shake me
Cause I love you,
Yes I need you,
Miss me baby.

Everytime you hear this song,
Miss me baby...

hmmm...

You know what I don't really understand...? Why is it that when we are in school we can't wait for it to end and when we aren't in school we can't wait for it to start up again?? I never could understand this. What happens when school is over? All I know is is that I am sooo ready for school to start it isn't even funny. Don't worry in a couple of months I will want out again. I think I just need to meet some new people...maybe my new major will have a few more "normal" guys in it...haha...nursing didn't so much...haha! Well anyways...I can't wait to see everyone again!

2005-06-19T20:42:32Z

Ever been misunderstood, misused, or misled
Ever knocked on the sky
and had it fall on your head
well, don't worry 'bout it, don't worry
Ever lost your luggage, your marbles,
your house
Or found yourself in bed with Uncle Sam or Mickey Mouse
Ever been accused of murder on Music Row
Or caught in morning traffic when you
really gotta go - Oh no!

Life is funny, life's a mess
Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it
Life gets sticky, life can bruise
Sometimes you win sometimes your losing
No matter what it brings
Don't worry 'bout a thing

Ever sat yourself down when the
seat is all wet
Or see your "ex" sucking face with
a little brunette
Don't worry 'bout it, no don't worry
Ever lost your religion, ever lost your
best friend
Or found your last record in the bargain bin
Or been stuck in a divorce like crazy glue
Or scraped someone else's gum off the
bottom of your shoe - Boo hoo!

(Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - Blah, Blah,
Blah, Blah, Blah, - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah,
Blah)

Don't worry, don't worry

We all got a little junk in the trunk
And when you're feelin' good as sunk
Remember, everything will be just fine
If I laugh at yours then you'll laugh at mine

(Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - Blah, Blah,
Blah, Blah, Blah, - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah,
Blah)

Don't worry, don't worry

Life gets sticky, life can bruise
Sometimes you win sometimes your losing
No matter what it brings
Don't worry 'bout a thing

I may have done this before...oh well...I'm bored

I'm at a loss for words...lol. I'm starting to scare myself (don't worry it's not something really that bad...lol). If I keep going at the rate I am going right now I'm gonna turn into a man...;-p. Before today I forgot men had feelings too...j/k. I guess "the worst thing a girl could do is make a guy fall for her with no intentions of catching him when he falls"...call me a hypocrite...oops. I guess the longer a girl is single the more she becomes like single guy...but I do have too many morals to stoop too low. Just thought I would reflect on this situation I am in...at least Megan is amused by it...haha!
Feeling sorry for the innocent victims...

Remember this?

2005-05-23T15:59:58Z

haha...

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Somethings Missing...

2005-05-20T16:35:42Z

I'm not alone, I wish I was.
Cause then I'd know, I was down because
I couldn't find, a friend around
To love me like, they do right now.
They do right now.

I'm dizzy from the shopping malls
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
and a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

When autumn comes, it doesnt ask.
It just walks in, where it left you last.
And you never know, when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart:

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

I can't be sure that this state of mind, is not of my own design
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.
For loneliness like this.

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And i don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries
What do you think it means

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries

Well, well, well...I don't really have anything interesting to say. So far this summer I have just been working all the time...guh...it gets old. I actually wish I was already taking a class right now...and that is odd for me to say. But I do have to say that I have been having a lot of fun so far this summer...It helps that I have someone who drags me out...lol Samantha...she swears she is going to corrupt me...I don't get it why people don't think I am already corrupt...lol...maybe I am just good at hiding it...lol...j/k ;-p Well anyways...I went to St. Augustine to visit my Sasha and it was so nice! We walked to the beach...she lives 2 blocks from it...got a tan...and even rode a bike...which I haven't done in forever...it was so nice to get out for a bit...even if it was just for a couple of hours. Then Monday I went to Sea World with a friend from work. It was so much fun! I hadn't been there since I was in the 2nd grade. I got to pet a dolphin...so I was happy! I also wasn't expecting the royal treatment...which was nice...it always makes me feel guilty though...but I won't get into that. And this weekend my mom, my sister, and my little kaleb are coming to visit me! This means I get to go SHOPPING! Well so far so good this summer but there are so many other things I want to do still! I hope everyone is having a good summer!!

A forgotten love...

2005-05-10T20:44:56Z

Today I realized how much I love the beach! Today ended up being the most beautiful day ever! On the drive over to the beach I nearly had to be given CPR just by seeing my first view of the water...it has been about a year since I have been to the beach. I really had forgotten how beautiful and peaceful the beach is. I love the beach here in Stuart because it is rather private...not naked private...but private. The water was sooo blue...but too cold...but the surfers looked good...;-p Sasha would have liked them...not my type but good to look at. I missed my beach buddy! I can't even explain how nice it was to sit in my beach chair and read a book...lol...the best book ever by the way. The best part about coming home after the beach is you smell like salt and you have a tan. Well all I can say is I really want to go to the beach on Sunday when I am back in Otown...any takers?? It will be fun...:-) Well I will stop boring you guys with my time at the beach...

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Your Rising Sign is Sagittarius

Happy and upbeat, you are always optimistic.

Even when you're in a bad mood, people find you friendly.

On the flip side, you're very restless and bored easily.

You've been known to pick fights just for the fun of it.

You've got a great sense of humor and a quirky outlook on life.

Aggressive, wild, and unconventional, no one knows what you're going to do next.

What is Your Rising Sign?

I don't see how this proves anything...haha

2005-05-06T02:15:47Z

You Are 50% Normal

(Somewhat Normal)

While some of your behavior is quite normal...

Other things you do are downright strange

You've got a little of your freak going on

But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?
