about

The first impression one may get without speaking to me is that I'm the stereotypical girl in today's society. I am anything, but the typical wordly girl. From past experiences, I have come to a realization in my life that nothing will fullfill your life, except God. Throughout these times, I have grown up quite fast and act on my future, not my present. In life, I follow the direction that most people tend to forget. Many people are oblivious to the importance of life. Coming from a less-than-picture-perfect side of life, I try to correct my life and set a purpose for myself. Through the many disappointments I've encountered in my life, I steer away from being a "victim" from my past. Thus, being a stronger, wiser, & more independent person. I live the clean life, and don't fall to anything other. I am learning to be comfortable in my own skin. I have made a commitment, to live a life of purity and with a self image that is based upon God's design.



There's a time in your life when you realize that everything in your life was a test to predict your future. I've held bitterness to a lot of situations, but have come to realize, that forgiveness is what shapes an individual to be a better person. I may have been hurt & disappointed by many, but I still continue to pray for those. I still care about them. I can't hate anyone because that's not who I am. Hearts have been broken, tears have been shed, but you realize what you wanted and hoped for, wasn't meant to be; it wasn't how your life was planned. A simple clich�???????????�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�© : I do forgive, but I don't forget.



I find myself learning to deal with constant criticism. Many people find ways to think and say negative things, but none of it soaks it. I strive to be a better & more independent person each and every day. One of my main focus' in life is to show girls, you can be sexy, but classy, and have morals and high standards at the same time. I love and life for God, anyone who disapproves of my beliefs will only be ignored. People tend to find trust in me quite quick because I'm genuine, and hide nothing. I accept my imperfections, which therefore, guides me through life on an easier route. This is me, and everything is sincere.




Other than that, I have a fiesty & protective personality when I feel I am being provoked or judged. I immediately put up a wall. My first approach is "kill them with kindness", but if it continues, I'm a spitfire. I am very protective over my family & friends. I do anything I can to protect them. Typically with guys, I find it hard to get along with. I'm not the girl who loves to flirt and see how many hook-up's I can get. I don't need it to boost my self-esteem, I get enough attention without. Anyone who isn't aquainted with maturity, will annoy me to death. I'm a fun girl - don't get me wrong, but I'm wise beyond my years. I'm at the point where I feel I have already fullfilled my teenage years, and I'm ready for "The Real World". Life isn't a competition; it is not a popularity contest, or a game to see how many people find you attractive. It's a priveledge God gives you, that many take advantage of.

My hair is blonde right now, and I usually get it professionally done. But right now I want to dye it to my natural hair color (medium brown.) But instead of going to the salon, I was thinking doing it out of the box since it's cheaper and kinda hard to mess up brown (right?). Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of brands that look natural and don't fade? Thanks!

i prefer revlon as well..but it usually fades within a month which is something i dont favor. which is why i now get it done professionally and prefer to have you get it professionally cuz its more effective and such. goodluck. =)* carmen

okay i no this sounds really dumb but what do these 'jobs' mean i know a few but im confused and i need to know what they are like blow job, finger job, etc

well a blow job is when you suck a guys dick.

im not sure on a "finger job" but i think you mean fingering which is when i guy puts his fingers inside of you..

hope i helped. and btw. no question is stupid =)* carmen

ah i know EXACtLY how you feel cuz i go through the same thing all the time it drives me mad crazy. but sumtimes you just gotta relax and not worry about it. cuz it really doesnt matter what people think of you. i guess it just takes time to get used to.
