Let’s see… This seems like as good of a place to jump in and say “Hi” as any. What people say about me… usually “short”… or “quiet” (until they get to know me) Then it’s along the lines of “nuts”, “weird”, “strange”, “open”… It goes on and on and on. Now, ME on the other hand… I see me as Piscean (I truly do swim two directions at once) Friendly Open Goofy Quiet I guess that’s a start… TruePisces ---

For one word it would be a toss-up between “smart” and “nice”. I also get friendly, helpful, creative, motherly, patient, and generous. On the negative side, I get negative, sarcastic, nosy, impatient (well, sometimes I am–depends on circumstances…) ---
