When I was in high school, a lot of things would piss me off - my stupid sister, stupid people, slow drivers, people who thought they could mess with my family and being treated like a paper doll. Today? My patience with people has improved and I try not to get as angry as I used to be.

What makes me lose my temper, today? Those who think they can use my friends/family and get away with it. Those who try to harm/use/talk bad about/try to kill my family will have the force of hell after your ass before you know it. Maybe I'm just a little too over protective but I won't take anyone messing with my friends and letting them get away with it.

ETA: I also lose my temper when I don't know something that I know I should know and when I don't know why I feel the way that I do sometimes. It makes me feel less in control of myself and of my mind and that's one thing that I can't afford to lose anytime soon. Yeah that pisses me off.

When asked that question, everyone expects the answer to be the loss of their innocence. For me, that's not it. I guess my greatest loss could be the ability to actually care whether a sister died or my actual flesh and blood family cares more about what we are than who we are. Maybe that wouldn't count considering I actually don't care that I don't have those feelings anymore after everything they have put me through but in the grand scheme of things? That would be the greatest loss - the ability to care about those who you share blood with are less important than those who don't have to care but do and love you for who you are rather than what you are to the world.

My head hurts now...

I think the worst advice I have ever gotten was when my boss years ago told me to try caviar. Okay, no offense to those of you who like it but I can't stand it. I tried it, I really did but after that first taste of it - I just couldn't keep it down. Yeah, so that's probably not a pretty picture but it's the truth. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of sushi either, maybe it's the whole "raw fish" thing? Whatever it is, it's not for me. I can honestly say though that I tried it and won't be eating it again.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't the worst advice but it was still pretty bad.

For me, Christmas time is all about the snow. I love the feeling I get when it snows and it's cold outside. You come in from the cold weather and you can get warmed up by the fire (or by a lover, which ever is your preference). To me, it's not winter without some cold and white stuff on the ground. Though it is a pain in the ass to drive in - which is definitely not my favorite part. My favorite part has to be the snowball fights that Jordan and I typically have with Dom and Adonis and now more recently with Scott and Jason. Ah yes, those are definitely fun...

Although I am far from dying anytime soon - I believe that once people die, they are then reincarnated. Their spirits are born again in whatever fate has decided for them to be.

I think when/if I die, I'll be reincarnated into a salamander. Why a salamander? Why not? They're pretty cute buggers, aren't they?

Next question?

Who would I turn to?

Well, that has to be one of the easiest questions I've been asked lately.

I'd turn to Dom - my soul mate and my best friend. He'd be there if only to hold me and to assure me that everything will be okay. He'd be there to listen to my ranting, rambling, crying or anything else I may in that time be experiencing. I can't imagine my life without him in my life and hope to never experience it.

I'd also turn to Scott, since as I've mentioned before, he typically knows when something is wrong with me before I do. I guess it's that connection that we've had since we were kids. I don't know, all I know is that I love him more and more for it. He, like Dom, would probably hold me and probably sing the song of his that he sang to me when I was younger, but would never admit to the outside world. He'd also tell me everything will be okay and that it's fine to cry - when sometimes that's the last thing I ever need.

If for some reason he wasn't around, I'd turn to Jordan. She's my best girl friend and a woman who I view more as a sister than anything else. She's been there for me through a lot and although we have different views on things, we're alway there for each other in the end.

Hm, what do I want?

I really want a lot of things, it's hard to choose just one.

I want to stop having seven o-clock meetings - waking up early sucks.

I want my friends and family to be happy.

I want a pizza - ham and pineapple specifically.

I want new CDs

I want to travel again...I love traveling.

I want to be able to get out of here early.

I want Dom.

I want Scott, too

Oh and I want a pony.


Yes, a pony.

Maybe some lo-mein too. Can't get enough of that stuff.

Adonis and the guys typically cook around here, surprisingly. I can cook, just not to their caliber - one of which actually went to school to be a chef.

One person you should NEVER let into the kitchen is Ricky. Not only has he burnt water and toast, but while trying to make a pasta sauce, all he got was a gray goo. To this day we have no idea what he made, only it tasted half way decent. So I have to admit, he is SLOWLY becoming better. He still burns toast but he can cook eggs. So maybe there is hope for him yet.

As for me? I'm more of a baker than a chef. I love baking cookies, cakes and sweets of all kinds. The guys especially love the cake that I make on all of their birthdays - course I still think they're over exaggerating how good it is but I won't call them on it. There will be days where I will ask them all what they're craving at that moment - sweet/candy wise - and go to another house to bake it. It keeps my hands busy and that's what I like about it. Of course, that is unless I'm going through a intense hot/cold period like at Christmas one year - then baking sucks.

Now I'm hungry...

But sadly, I must cut this short. I have to be at a meeting in ten minutes.

Damn late meetings.

That's a loaded question now isn't it? I used to think about that a lot, honestly. I used to have quite a few ways that my life would be easier if only...a couple of those were:

My life would be easier if I wasn't an Enchanted and I could be a normal or at least slightly normal woman. - Who wants to be normal when you can be special? Plus, as I always say - Normal is highly overrated.

My life would be easier if I wasn't on the side of darkness and my sister wouldn't have to be on a side she didn't want. - A long and complex story cut short - Jordan doesn't belong on this side and yet she is; to be with us, her mate(s)...to be with her family and people who care. I have finally accepted that it was her choice to make and she chose to be with us, instead of choosing a life of solitude and loneliness.

My life would be easier if I didn't work as hard as I did and forgot to eat at times. Just so that I won't have to hear the guys and Dom go on about how I'm starving myself. - I've realized it's just who I am. I can't keep still 75% of the time - but when I do tend to be a work-a-holic I try to make a little time to eat. If only to keep them off my back.

So yeah, there are a lot of 'my life would be easier ifs' but the fact of the matter is...I wouldn't change who I am today or any of my choices to this point. Everything that has happened and will happened has for a reason.
