About Me:
Second account - deleted first...missed my friends, so here I am...hoping to get back in touch with old friends and make new.

I am an honest person - almost to a fault - sometimes I come across as blunt...although I would never intentionally hurt anyone. I am caring and kind, and almost always put everyone else before myself.

My biggest faults are that I love too quickly and forgive too easily (I also smoke, drink on occasion, and cuss sometimes =( ). I am also a bit of a smartass - though I don't know if that is necessarily a fault.

I am here to chat with friends, and have a laugh. I am not looking for drama, nor am I looking for a love connection...

I am not a point or attention whore - if I rated your page it's because something interested me in you, and I often thank people with a hug or a kiss when they are sweet and rate me...don't read anymore into it than that.

I consider my friends the family I chose. I will fight to the death to protect them, although I find it hard to stand up for myself. My very best friend is a guy (Darren). We have known each other since we were 14 and are very close. He is the brother I always wanted.

I have one sibling, my sister Tamara, but have a huge extended family (my father is 1 of 11 children and each of them is married with between 2 and 5 kids - and now they are all having kids). It's hard for me to keep up with all the new additions. At last count there are 90 descended from my father's parents alone. My family is very tight knit and loving. I get my values from them.

I love music of all kinds, but tend to gravitate towards groups like Mudvayne, Korn, Slipknot, Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, anything Maynard James Keenan has done, etc...but I listen to most everything, and always enjoy something new - any suggestions?

I love any movie by Kevin Smith. I also like gangster movies and comedies. I used to love horror, but it's been a long time since I have seen anything that made me jump out of my seat (somebody please recommend a scary movie).

I am not always here, though I would like to be, so don't take it personally if I don't respond right away. Drop me a message and I will get back to you...at some point in time...

I also have a tendency to sign in then walk away (I get distracted easily)- if you shout box me and I don't reply right away I will get back to you eventually...

I look forward to chatting with you if we haven't chatted yet - please send a friend request if you feel inclined, I'd love to hear from you.

Take care of yourself and those you hold most dear.

peace xoxoxo Genine

***LATEST UPDATE ABOUT ME***
4/14/09:
Dog grooming is hard work - hats off to groomers. Now I understand why it costs so much to have your dog groomed. Not sure this is the field for me. For the amount of physical labor involved and being paid minimum wage (though am I very thankful for the job) I'm not sure it's worth it to me. What I initially wanted to do was go to school for massage therapy. Think I may change paths again. In a state of confusion - not sure which is the right path for me...Hope you are happy and well - kisses and hugs, Genine
