Who Am I?

Someone just recently asked me to tell them about myself, so....

I believe totally in honesty, except when I have to lie.
I can be frugal, even cheap, except when it comes to clothes and shoes.
I am overly sensitive and can fall apart at the drop of a word, but am extremely strong and good in a crisis.
I love my job but am not married to my work.
I love a night on the town as much as I love a night staying at home.
I am kind and generous until I am wronged.
I enjoy cooking for people, but don't enjoy cooking in general.
I am deep and sometimes think I think so much about life I am not living it.
I have always been able to find whatever is missing in my life.
I believe in spirituality but not organized religion.
I hate politics, but understand we need governments to prevent chaos.
I believe in giving back to society as much as I take.
I believe in family, but not necessary family of origin.
I believe the best things in life are the small everyday things.
I believe people should travel by bike as much as possible and help safe the environment.
I believe in jets and jet fuel because I love to travel.
I believe in meditation and yoga.
I believe in recreational drugs.
I believe that the first cup of coffee in the morning is the most important thing in the world.
I don't believe in drinking coffee after my morning cup, it too is a drug.
I like tender love making as much as I like being a pig in bed.
I go to the gym to stay fit, but don't believe in using steroids.
I still believe in love and cry at happy endings.
I don't believe in death.
I have an enormous capacity to forgive, but may not want you in my life again.
I believe in solitude and self examination.
I love having fun and will say yes to just about anything.
I have a tendency to lead, but love to follow.
I like to read and listen to music alone.
I like people, we are fascinating.
I grew up in the country but love living in the city.
I hate cottages.
I love to flirt but am loyal.
I like being single, but am open to a relationship.
I love being surprised by life, but hate planned surprises.
I like a certain level of security and am willing to take risks after that.
I like testing myself and pushing my limits.
I love my friends but prefer to just have a few so I can spend quality time with them.
I love all the seasons but just the beginnings. I hate the end of each season, they all last too long.
I love getting dressed up but am happiest in yoga pants and a t-shirt.
I like people that are odd, they are usually themselves.
I love change as I get bored easily.
I love reading but my tastes in books is always changing.
I miss my grandmother more than words could possibly say.
And finally, I love being a bit of a mystery.

This is phenomenal, Jim. Very well said, and to be truthful, I agree with everything you say. If your novel is going to be even half as enjoyable, potent and honest as this, then it's sure to be of best-seller quality, even if you decide not to publish it. I look forward to more of your shared wisdom.
