I am average height. I have beige skin. My hair is currently mousey and due to a bad haircut I am restricted to a headband. I have brown eyes that smile even when they are raining. I am strong willed, independent, creative and easily entertained. I am frugal with money but not with compassion. I am a libra. I measure others by their aura. I can't live without the smell of dogs' mouths.

I have struggled with self-image my entire life but console myself with the fact that there will be no height/weight chart on my headstone.

There are many facets to the gem of life but it takes the depth and darkness behind it to create the luster.

Dispite all of this I am an optimist and if my life were a novel it would be titled "Coming Up Roses".
