About me: About Amber: I am not unique, but I can be creative. I am not a genius, but I'm intelligent enough to have gotten this far. I am not really funny, but I can make people smile, one way or another. I am not high maintenance, but every once in a while I insist on shaving my legs. I am not beautiful, but if the lighting is right and I wear the right clothes, I look halfway decent. I am not a control freak, but I prefer to know where I am and what I'm doing at any given time. I am not an alcoholic, but when I do drink I often forget where I am or what I'm doing. I am not commitment-phobic, but I don't like to stay in one place for too long. I'm not very good at writing, especially little blurbs like this one, but I like to pretend I am.
About Ambruisia: All she ever wanted was to be just like the gods, so she took that sweet elixir offered by the Furies, swirled it in her mouth and drank it down quickly. Then fits of convulsion overcame her, her mind and soul possessed by the cursed liquid. The Furies had tricked her with that love potion gone wrong--hate filled her heart and now Ambruisia skates with the rest of them, shrieking with anger at those who fall in her path...
Hey there fellow Libran, Happy BirthingDay! Hope it's very magical for you! Miss you , and hope you have a great weekend at the bout, wish I was there. I will be there in spirit!
it's always something with parents when they realize you're not a teen anymore and can have little cuties. Your dogs can be considered consins :) Yes, Wyoming is great, this is turning out to be a great placement for me. I have a variety with 3 life skills classrooms, staff that understand and support what I do, and even a part time assistant!
