6. I am a hopeless romantic and always have been. Always. I am a believer in true love and soul mates. And always will be.
7. "This Too Shall Pass" is something I've lived by ever since I had the phrase tattooed on me, but I've always tried to have that attitude prior to having it as well.
8. What I look for in a guy? Chivalry and intellect. Hopeless romantic, has a huge heart.. Has a mutual outlook on love. Shares the same morals, values, views and beliefs. Extremely caring, giving and compassionate. Thinks of others before himself. Passionate and creative, understanding and sympathetic. Mature and responsible, yet silly and corny. Will walk that extra mile and go to great lengths just to put a smile on my face. Sensible, sensual, sexual. Doesn't just "hear" when I voice my concerns, but listens and always takes different points of views into consideration. Makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the his world.. Only has eyes for me. Is reassuring and sensitive. Deep, profound and sentimental. Honest, loyal and trustworthy. Has the ability to admit when he's wrong and doesn't let his pride get in the way of apologizing. Affectionate and loving. Sweet and kind; Finds joy in helping others and doesn't expect anything in return. Courteous and warm. Motivated. Can share his hopes, dreams, thoughts and feelings with me. Makes me feel included and doesn't make me feel unwanted. Does not take his aggravations out on me. Confident but not cocky. Someone I can cuddle up under the covers with and talk to for hours. Comforting and considerate. Adventurous and open minded; Willing to try new things. Classy and refined. Never stops believing in love. And believes in unconditional love.
9. I try not to care what people think of me and succeed at times, but don't at others.
10. I'm usually a picky eater but am always open to trying new foods, no matter how unappetizing they look. My favorite foods include sweet potatoes, pasta (either with butter or marinara), garlic bread and something else I can't think of at the moment. My favorite fruit is blueberries and my favorite veggie is broccoli.
11. I have a special place in my heart for Disney World and pretty much everything Disney related. I've been in love with the place since I was a toddler and plan on marrying on Disney property. I believe my mickey mouse tattoo proves that I am without a doubt a loyal fan.
12. I get overly emotional about a wide variety of things, big and small. I'd like to think that it's due to having a big heart.
13. My fears are sharks and the ocean in general, insects, heights (although I want to sky dive), flying (obviously in airplanes), death, failure, and unfortunately.. Most black men. After getting held up at gun point by one, I like to think it's understandable.

17. I can be very indecisive at times and can appear to have no idea what I want. I'm working on that.
18. I don't need a fancy life and fancy things to be happy.. The small things in life are what's important to me. The best things in life truly are free.

23. Making others laugh and smile makes me feel wonderful.
24. I tend to be shy in many social situations, but I do my best to be outgoing so I'm more approachable and easy to talk to. If I'm comfortable around who I'm with, this comes naturally.
25. I have social anxiety. This has improved recently, though.
26. I love learning about the solar system and anything that relates to space.
27. I do not judge a person's maturity solely on age. I may not be surprised when I see a 15 year old point and laugh at a girl in front of his friends, and I may not be shocked when I hear a pre-teen making fun of a mentally challenged person, but it doesn't mean that I think everyone younger than me is automatically immature in my book. I've met people who have proved that not everyone who was born before me lacks a mature mentality. Someone who is 40 can have the mindset of a 16 year old, and vice versa. I give everyone a chance before I assume what their maturity level is. You're old enough to know right from wrong but have no manners and always act classless in public, feel the need to use endless curse words in your every day vocabulary for no good reason, don't consider other people's opinions and point of views and always believe your way of thinking is the only way of thinking, don't know how to handle serious situations in a mature and sensible fashion, blame things on everyone and everything but yourself, don't take responsibility for your actions and don't admit you're wrong when you are, are easily influenced by others and can't form your own opinion, and most importantly.. Claim that you're mature when in reality, everything you do and say proves otherwise and you can't seem back up your statement. These are the reasons why I would find a person to be immature.
28. Actually, you know what? Age does plays a role in maturity. This can be seen as a hypocritical statement when looking back at what I wrote for #5 and #27, but there's no denying it in some cases. Age doesn't define someone's maturity level but it is accurate to think so to some degree. Most likely, someone who is 15 hasn't gone through many experiences that can guide them to become wiser and more knowledgeable about life in general. It's not their fault- They just haven't had a vast amount of opportunities because they haven't lived long enough. There are ALWAYS exceptions, though. There's no denying that either.
29. I am impatient. I can be patient when I try to be, but my initial reaction to an annoying situation is becoming impatient and weary.
30. Long hair on men is probably by biggest turn on when it comes to appearance.
31. I have a weird, dry and crude sense of humor. And always have.
32. I find unconditional love to be the most beautiful thing in the world.
33. I'll do absolutely anything for the people I care for.
34. I do crazy things when I'm drunk.
35. I enjoy reading novels pertaining to love more than any other genre of writing.
36. Foot massages are my favorite type.
37. I think my mother is the most kind hearted person on the planet.
38. I am very opinionated and realize I can get out of hand at times. I'd rather be this way than not have many opinions at all. That would be boring.
39. I prefer babies to old people. I don't know what to say to them most of the time and I think It's uncomfortable and awkward when they stare, which is what a good amount of them have done fairly often in my experiences. They can be cute sometimes though. Especially old, cute couples.
40. My favorite color is pink and my favorite number is 6.
41. My favorite band is The Beatles. And Copeland.
42. The most amazing concert I've ever been to was when I saw Paul McCartney in April 2010. An unforgettable experience.
43. I tend to apply deodorant in public and people usually glare at me like I'm out of my mind.
44. I am extremely compassionate. Whether I know someone well or not, I often feel a person's pain and always have the desire to help if I possibly can. It's just my nature.
45. I tell myself that I'm not a "music snob", but I am to some degree and believe everyone is to a certain extent, whether they admit it or not.
