10 things about me

1.) I am very slim. I seem to be naturally very slim. I gave birth in February this year, and a few days after people were like "you're so slim, I can't believe you gave birth." I'm not trying to make myself sound great or anything, but I see it as a good thing.

2.) I tan very quickly.

3.) I love music.

4.) I have long hair.

5.) I love perfume. I particularly love exotic scents that remind me of a beautiful island somewhere. Coconut is probably my favorite scent overall.

6.) I find few things as entertaining as my children. In fact no, I don't find anything as entertaining as my children.

7.) The other day I bought my (about to be) five month old daughter a teddy bear, which is practically the same size as her, and she loves it.

8.) I don't like to be negative in life. For instance when I have felt depressed, it's only lasted for about five minutes. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but I'm just the type of person who gets on with things. Life can always be much worse, and I feel like I have much to be grateful for. I hate the idea of complaining about things and of victimhood in general.

9.) I love the water. It doesn't matter what kind of water it is as long as it's not really dirty. I love swimming pools, lakes, rivers, and of course the ocean...I find the ocean exhilarating.

10.) I love adventure. I like to do anything that causes a surge in adrenaline or is just a lot of fun to do. I'm still like a kid to be honest.

Interesting. Okay, ten things about me, but using your general topics... sort of a compare and contrast if you will. :)

1) I wouldn't say I am very slim, but I've never been fat. I spend a lot of time and effort staying in shape and that builds muscle mass.

2) Oh gosh! I wish I tanned quickly! Nope, not me. My German / English / Irish genetics do not make for much tanning. 🤷‍♀️

3) I love music as well, but I cannot create it. What I mean is that you do NOT want to hear me sing. It is very very bad. 🤦‍♀️

4) I have long hair also. I do periodically cut it much shorter and then I get mad at myself for doing so and let it grow out. Then the process repeats. 🙄

5) I actually have very little sense of smell naturally and therefore can't really appreciate scents. 😔

6) I don't have any kids and doubt very much that I will. But I do love children and am very happy for you! 👍

7) Oh so cute! I've brought very large teddy bears for nieces and nephews before. I kinda like doing that because of how fun it looks when they are playing with it and it's bigger than they are! 🐻

8) I am a perpetual optimist. I love lost causes and bringing them back from the abyss. And, yes, I am very rarely depressed.

9) I grew up in a very touristy beach town and have salt water in my veins. I do like pools, lakes, and rivers, but when I hear "water" I imagine the ocean. She is in me and I am of her. 🧜‍♀️

10) Yes, I am a junkie. I love getting high. And my drug-of-choice is adrenaline! We are alike in this regard and I have written many stories here over the last ten years about some of my adrenaline inducing adventures. 😁

@sarabee1995 Nice :)

I wouldn't say I have much muscle as I'm on the skinny side. I am toned though.

Yeah...those aren't great genetics for tanning 😂

Glad you like kids. They are wonderful ❤️

I'll have to look at more of those posts. What has been your best adventure of that kind?

@SW-User Well for me there are two ways to get my adrenaline pumping. One has to do with my first love and that is the ocean. I've been sailing since before I was walking and I love being out in serious winds. And the other has to do with anything that combines altitude with my addiction to adrenaline. I have a couple stories posted here about skydiving, but that's just one way of doing it. I also love standing on a summit and seeing valleys below. Altitude. :)

@sarabee1995 Skydiving would be great lol. There's a lot of daring things I'd like to do...and now because of my job I'm being more exposed to some of it. You're still probably a lot braver than me though. I'm that person who screams LOUD when they're on a rollercoaster but then wants to go on again and again. This interest in adrenaline rushes has incorporated a few things really. When I lived in Spain and also when I spent time in Eastern Europe, I liked looking inside abandoned houses. Also playing in ravines and that kind of thing. I liked exploring forests and anything to do with nature. So, it doesn't matter whether it's a more artificial attraction like a theme park ride or a water park (I love those) or something that that is in nature...I just love it all.

Sailing must've been really exhilarating.

@SW-User Sailing is awesome. My grandparents left me a boat several years ago and I'm living on her this summer. My current tour is on shore and I'm working in Maryland. I sublet my apartment for now and spend every night on the boat. :)

@sarabee1995 That sounds really fun :) I'd like to go sailing...it would be nice in the Mediterranean Sea.

@SW-User The Med is gorgeous. I transited the Med twice during 2020 ... Gilbralter to the Suez in the Spring and then the reverse trip in the Fall. And I've visited Souda Bay many times. :)
