    14. The majority of my real life friends all use me.

    sad :(

    I know. I'm one of those friends that are ridiculously good to their friends. I'm always there, I'm always on their team but when it comes to me needing something they disappear. I'm used to it.

    you shouldnt be used to it,it dosnt sound like they are friends.

    I love these! I love having my blackberry so I get my emails right away! LOL How funny (in a very cute way!) that you read books to your dogs...they must be very smart! I love texting because you really don't have to completely focus or stop what you're doing! For me it's nice when people are in my office talking to eachother and not me so I can still communicate! LOL I never knew a hamster could have such a name! =) Yeah great danes to hot dogs is a huge difference. I can be easily distracting in setting like that where people watching is fun! LOL

    Hopefully you're not hungry anymore!

    Man, give me like .0001% of your confidence and I'd be set xD haha

    You are the first person I've met that actually enjoyed a job as a telemarketer. I used to do a job with market research and we would sometimes have to call and bug people in their homes to do phone survyes, that was hard enough for me...I don't think I could ever call up and try to sell something.

    I actually started off doing phone surveys which escalated into telemarketing. I dunno, the draw was the fact that I felt like it was a challenge to see if I could actually get random strangers to conduct surveys over the phone, no matter how pissed they were that I called. I succeeded and excelled at the job. I was always a top producer, so the management decided to let me handle all of the "tough" surveys to handle. I succeeded in that too. Then, I became so good at it, I got bored with staring at the same screen all day with the same intro, so I began memorizing the entire hour long survey and started drawing/tagging on paper while I was conducting the surveys. Haha. Then, I eventually got terminated for no call/no shows. Moved on to the next one.

    As for the confidence, everyone has it. It just needs to be pulled out one way or another. Cramming years worth of experiences into months at a time helped me gather that confidence. A lot of near-death and literally life-altering experiences stemming from various reasons, stand out. Lol.

    1. I am the youngest of 13 children, but only really know 2 of my brothers, and haven't spoken to either of them in over a year.
    2. I like the smell of gasoline.
    3. I LOVE to read.
    4. I accientally killed my husband's pet white rat that he used to let run loose throughout his apartment, and have never told him that it was my fault.
    5. I don't know if I will ever be able to stop cursing, even though I was appalled to hear my toddler throw out the f-bomb when I was picking her up from daycare last year.
    6. I married my husband the day before the one year anniversary of our first date.
    7. Given the above statement, I definately believe in love at first sight.
    8. I really do love my husband's family, most times more than my own.
    9. I think I am the only person left in the civilized world that doesn't have cable or satellite, nothing but the basic antenna for me.
    10. I am addicted to American Idol and Antiques Road Show.
    11. I am allergic to stupidity.
    12. I think my daughter is the smartest 3 year old I know and probably drive every other mother I know crazy bragging about her all the time.
    13. I love being a mother, but cannot wait to start a career (my husband and i have agreed that I will stay at home with the girls until they start school).
    14. I have lost track of the number of different homes I have lived in, but have not moved out of NJ since my mother moved here when i was a baby (other than a summer stay with my aunt in NY).
    15. I would love to move my family to Canada, but hate the thought of living that far from my unbelievably supportive in-laws.
    16. I have very few female friends, as most of them have stabbed me in the back one way or another, and they all tend to bring too much drama. (hoping that there are some exceptions, as I really miss having a close gf other than my MIL)
    17. My mother in law does all of the laundry for my daughters, probably a major reason why i don't want to move too far away from her.
    18. I have only been to one real music concert ever. It was Flogging Molly, and I got to go backstage and meet the band afterwards. Don't think I'll ever be able to top that first concert.
    19. I love living in an apartment and don't know that I ever need to own my own home.
    20. I am closer in age to my husband's nieces than I am to him, but don't find this creepy since my father was 25 years older than my mother.

    Yeah, it's something I need to seriously work on. I'm just not quite sure how to work on it I guess. It certainly holds me back though.
