20 facts about me
Apr 08 '03
The Bottom Line I must say George this really was a great W/O I learned a lot about so many.
After receiving an email a couple of day ago from My fellow epinionator, George,AKA corpgent "http://www.epinions.com/user-corpgent" I decided to take the challenge after reading so many reviews from others.
1 I was born and raised on the East coast in a city 15 minutes from Boston MA. My epinions id is TheresaRo which is my first name, Theresa and the last 2 letter of my last name. I just came by and picked it quick without thinking that I would have it forever- oh well. I am 5 ft 3inches tall, 37 years old and am on "epinions fun groups" on yahoo as positiveatra_xxn .
2 My mother had me when she was 18. I was born two months early on October 23. I am right on the cusp of two signs. I am a Libra but I do have Scorpio tendencies. I grew up in an Italian family and am an only child. My mother and father divorced when I was 5. I still remember his word Bye Teri, you will never see me again. However that didn't happen. I don't see him much but I do talk to him occasionally. My grandfather, whom I considered my father meant the world to me. He died when I was seven. At that time I was the only grandchild; now there are three of us. I was devastated and could not understand why he had to go. My mother and my grandmother are the best women around and I am very lucky to have them and my stepfather whom I love so much.
3 I went to a Catholic school until the sixth grade. All my friends when to public school I couldn't stand wearing those uniforms when all my friends wore whatever they wanted. I was very shy growing up and very spoiled.
4 My great-aunt was hung as a Salem witch in the 1800s when Salem, Ma hung the witches for practicing witchcraft. I have been stocked by the cable guy, Burger King has run out of hamburgers on me.and Taco Bell has run out of meat on me. My girlfriend and I booked a Florida vacation six months in advance. The day before we were to leave to go to Marco Island the Island had been wiped out by a hurricane. I lost the money and never got to go. At that point I thought I was cursed. These things can only happen to me. I believed I was cursed bu I can laugh at this now.
5 I suffered from anxiety attacks since the 9th grade. However, I am on the correct medication.and I am fine I met my ex -husband that year, got married in eighty-seven, had the big fairy tale wedding with 360 people and 18 people in our wedding party. We went to a Hawaii where I called my mother every night and cried that I wanted to go home. He was verbally abusive; always cheating, lying and wouldn't let me out of the house or let me have my drivers license I didn't know anything but my ex-husband's abusive ways. I was naive and scared of him at the time and very dependent on him.
6 At 24 after 2-1/2 years I shot my ex! Whoops did I say that out loud?? LOL, l meant I left him, got my license, got a roommate and starting to see what life was about. I am drug free however I did smoke a joint in my ninth grade year. When I got suspended that was the end of that.
7 At 25 I met my best friend and my true love Doug whom I lived with for more than 3 years until he committed suicide from being manic depressant. I went to every doctor I could. I knew he was going to do it. I begged the doctors the night before it happened to please help him but they wouldn't believe me. The next day it was too late. I wanted to die then. I HATED EVERYTHING. I DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE. THERE WAS NOTHING TO LIVE FOR. I was a mess to say the least. My doctors heavily medicated me because I was suicidal. They put me on maximum doses of Lithium, Klonopin and Prozac. However, the brain is more powerful then any medication and it didn't calm me enough. I started drinking even though I was on the medication and knew I could have died, had a seizure. gone into a comma but I just didn't care. However someone wanted me here. I was working 2 jobs, drinking every night, never sleeping and being on all this medication I would try to drive my car into walls etc. I just couldn't see what there was to live for. The day I woke up with a knife beside me was the day reality hit. I stopped all the medication cold turkey without the doctor's approval.
8 Even after that I felt alone and lifeless and couldn't see what there was to live for. I was so unhappy, negative and miserable. I just couldn't let it go. It will be 8 years in July since he has been gone. I did let him go 3 years ago. I stopped living in the past and started to looked toward the fortune. Thanks to family and friends who helped me along the way I realize you can visit the past but you just can't stay there.
9 I have learned so much from my past and have become so strong and independent and have changed my ways I don't like to be around negative people. I look on the positive side now. I do heavy breathing exercises everyday. This is exercising while holding your breath. It really works. If anyone is interested in that please email me. I have lost weight this way. I mediate and I believe in a higher power.
10 Strangers come out of the woodwork when I'm around, tell me their whole life story- I have been told I have an animal magnetism omg please help I didn't ask for this but men of all sorts have always clung to me like static clings Does anyone have any mace?
11 I am very outgoing and a very good listener but I am very private and I like to be alone as well. I do not tell anyone my problems. I deal with them on my own. I don't want people to worry but I always have an ear to listen.
12 I like people but I don't like fakes and I can pick it up. I just stay away from phony people. I am very honest and sincere and would do anything for anybody but if you cross me then that's the end. I just walk away.
13 I am single, live alone and very independent I love to dance and love the beach as I spend a lot of the summer in Cape Cod. My grandmother has a place there. I may have a couple of drinks once in a while when I go out but that's it. I know when to stop. It's more sociable drinking, however I do not need a drink to have fun. I will be the first one on the dance floor and usually the last one as well. I also am a big baseball fan (Boston Red Sox)
14 Attached to me is always a cup of coffee. I know caffeine may be bad, oh well. I'm not perfect -I drink water too.
15 I have so many clothes, shampoos etc. I love to try to things Its sickening but I'm still a girl. I love perfumes and taking baths. I am adventurous, I like challenge, I would love to be married and have children. The time clock is ticking tick toc. ABC needs to call me to go on the Bachelorette:)
16 I love to laugh ,love to talk, yes I do talk with my hands after all I'm Italian. I've even tried to hold my hands to speak but I just can't do it. Writing, well that's another story. I'm not good at it but I can talk my way through anything and just make people around me comfortable. I guess that's why I ended up on epinions- It is a challenge for me.
17 I have a lot of experience from collection's specialist accounting customer service reviewing products for companies etc.
18 Oh did I mention parallel park? Now I just can't do it unlike my friend on here Mary AKA Babypie. She parks 10 streets away. I just park about 5 miles from the curb and could call a cab to get to my car! Road rage- yes that occurs occasionally . If you see a black 98 Honda Civic EX 2 door, on the side of the road holding up a hairdryer against the window, that's me.
19 I sometimes talk to telemarketers when they call. I say My husband just left me for a younger women, I have 4 kids and I'm pregnant and can go anytime do you really think this is a good time for me to talk? They don't call back .
20 I am a mystery to most. No one can figure what I'm going to do next. I am spontaneous and sometimes that gets me into trouble, for instance I met a few people on the personal websites. One just got out of jail for killing someone. One tried to attack me in my car. The stories are endless.
A special Thanks to Jo"http://www.epinions.com/user-jo.com" for helping me get my mess into words.
AND of course George for making me do this and forgetting I existed after he emailed me then he couldn't find my profile whats wrong with this picture? lol
Thanks George at least I didn't forget you :O
Thanks for Reading
Teri
