Defining Me
This is a Kween of the Queens Challenge :D
I create. I love to write. Real stories, pretend stories. I love to write others stories, by my part in them. Sometimes I even write history. I sew pillows for comfort, pockets for treasures, and I repair damages done.
I love. I live life big. I climb and have the highest highs. I plummet and reach the lowest lows. It's rare that I'm ever inbetween. I love the lows, I love the highs. I love pretty things.
I believe. In God as my savior. In Jesus dying for me, because he loves me. In heaven and hell. In magic and faeries and worlds that we can't see, but feel.
I'm addicted. To Xanga. To neopets. To picking up new projects and getting too caught up in another to finish. I'm addicted to extremes. I love beginnings. I love the start. I'm nostalgic at the end. I'm happy or sad. Mad or loving. Stressed or relaxed.
I'm thrifty. If you can get it for 20, I can find something better for 5. I haunt thrift stores on 50% off days. I think outside the box to find a more reasonable answer. I find things that are better than what I wanted, for less than I expected. Clearance and Sale call my name from across the crowded store.
I imagine. I dress up as a nymph witch and play with my pirate gypsy friend. I'm Willow, I'm Krys, and I learn from my other selves. I unlock new worlds, and new understanding from simply playing pretend
I journey. I'm constantly finding who I am. I lose me for a moment, to witness the sweet tang of finding me again. I'm constantly going, I can't stand stagnation. I constantly grow and change. I embrace it, and know I will never just be. I always reach, I love the movement.
I watch. I love to sit on the sidelines and listen to life around me. To catch bits of conversation and learn about the deeper person inside. Insatiably curious, I can't get enough of the lives that constantly flow and ebb around mine.
I dig. I want to know the truth, the real truth behind it all. Though I realize it's all perception, I long to know anothers truth, anothers perception of the world. It strengthens my own truth.
I am. And I love my am. I love my me. Though I can't say that all the time, it's the truth more and more each day. I know that I'm worth it. And that my little life is capable of great things.
I sing, I enjoy, I taste touch hear and see.
I live.

Wow... I wish I could take such a look at myself. This is amazing. THIS is why I think you're a woman.
So you're addicted to neopets, huh? I don't play... but I have a friend. His name on there (or one of them) is goofyspouse. His real name is Ray Newman... do you cross paths with him on there? I know him in real life... but haven't talked to him in forever. I used to live with him. I guess he's kind of big in the neopet world.
@apennieformythoughts - :o black sand guy owner of the the booksmart pet? Good grief. I have never met him, no, but I certainly know of him. He's not exactly quite famous, but I would say that to most serious players, he is known, if not "around" Go fig. lol, small world. I LOVE neo, been playing for 6 years, it's addicting!
If anyone is on neo, I'm sweetie_butterfly over there. :D *end of plug*
Thank you... it's funny, I thought this challenge would be hard, but it was SO easy... it just came out, lol!

@silkenbutterfly -
Yep, that would be him. His ex-wife was my manager at work... and then I moved in with them because her and I became good friends. He's an awesomely funny guy... I miss him, lol!
This was really spectacular. I kinda love you.
Well written and a great read. Good job.
This is beautiful, jeni.
This reminded me of Dharma and Greg, where she and her friend would dress up or just pretend to be different people. It was amazing to me how well they could change character.
I've never heard of neopets. What is that about?
A lovely way to present yourself here; now we know you a little better!
i would say your a very upbeat type of a person. i don't see any lows here at all.
You are singing an exceptional song....a person who lives fully! May you always stay in touch with this bright and energetic person you know you are.
You're amazing.
Dear Jeni,
This entry makes a neat double bill with your "I'm not a woman" post below. Each time I visit your blog, I always find a sense of celebration and happiness, and this entry is no different.
Wonderfully written and presented. "I love my am,. I love my me." Very originally put.
Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
This is wonderful!
Awesome post! Thanks for sharing,
Take care,
Love, Cyn
ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......(i love neopets too!).....................:)
I think you captured yourself well
This was wonderful, so expressful, interesting, uplifting, fun to read and very original.
Wow!! I love this...poem... or writing... !!! AWESOME!! And I can identify with many things you have said about yourself, too... (even though I'm a complete stranger). Love your site by the way... and your avatar! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for your comment. I loved your post by the way. It has a beat to it almost like poetry.
Ryc: You are really fantastic. You always build me up so much with your words. <3 It's so encouraging to have a friend like you behind me with your quirky cuteness and various perspectives on issues. And you're an example of hope and happiness. Thank you.
Great entry! I love your line about being 30--- and finding good deals
haha. That was brilliant. My mom is a pro when it comes to finding good deals. I'm.. okay at it 
I used to have neopets... but it was almost impossible to keep them from starving.
