About me:
Friendly and somewhat
shy out of the gate, I love discussing topics of interest such as
music, movies and most things that would entertain a typical 20 year
old.
I am very much young
at heart, though the body does belie my true age and has rebelled
against me.
I tend to relate
more to the younger crowd than people my own age - however I do find
it difficult to keep up with them. The same thing that attracts me
to them is my downfall in the end... Their energy.
I have a couple of
illnesses that make it difficult as well, the main on being a
"condition" they call "demylenating Peripheral Poly-Neuropathy.
Basically, the myealin is a protein sheath around every nerve in the
body. For some reason the my body is attacking this sheath,
destroying it and exposing the nerves to the body where, given
enough time, they short out and die. This causes persistent pain in
all of my extremities that varies from "good" days (mild pain) to
BAD days where I basically can't do much of anything
I use a cane most of
the time to get around as this problem has also affected my balance
- imagine trying to walk with both of your feet asleep. The bright
side of this is I have managed to obtain quite the collection of
sword and regular canes. My Favorites being a Dragons head and Cobra
headed sword canes. My favorite regular cane is a Full Dragon that
forms the handle you use. It's showing it's age though so I have to
do some repair work on it. But there IS a bright side to
everything! 9O).
I tend to be shy in
crowds but once I warm up I can be quite flirty and downright witty.
Speaking of wit, I have been told I have a sharp, dry, sarcastic one
but am able to pretty much see the humor in just about anything (I
the one in the back of the funeral laughing because something stuck
me funny). |
