About Me

People say I'm:
-
Describe Yourself:I am always asking people to answer questions out of nowhere but don't know why I'm asking them(dad, what type of cement are you using and how many types are there?). I am trying to streamline my writing so I figured I'd combine the two. At the same time I have a insatiable need to tell everyone everything about myself. I'm bipolar, somewhat well medicated but have some other mysterious illness we are trying to figure out right now. I am working on my MA in Liberal Arts through Texas Christian University taking classes online. It is a degree that in no way will get me a job. I have a teaching credential which I used for 6 years until I was given 6th graders and I started hiding under my bed. I haven't taught in about 3 years but my disability and financial aid aren't cutting it so I'm starting to tutor online part time. We'll see how that goes.

Patty L., May 3, 2008, 12:34PM UTCHi Samantha, Just making the rounds, checking in with my "Friends".
I like to have them know I'm "in their corner". I see you do still have a "funny bone" with your recent quotes!
--I also hope your Meds are working. Tough stuff. My Mother was bi-polar. Take care, Patty. -
Carla G., Mar 16, 2008, 4:46PM UTCSamantha, it's a hot book now since Oprah is featuring it as her bookclub selection. You can probably get in online secondhand very cheap. Try on amazon.com for a used copy. -
Carla G., Mar 16, 2008, 11:16AM UTCIt's nice to meet you, Samantha, and thanks for your connection request. I notice that you are "trying to figure out the world." My suggestion: Set your intention to figuring out your own self. That is the most important thing. It will drive you crazy trying to figure out the world. Read "A New Earth" by Tolle. It will shed some light on things and help you to not only understand yourself, but also the world. In the meantime, enjoy each day.
