	...you'd know my hearing is a mystery to me. I can't quite understand how I struggle to pick up simple voices, yet play me a complex piece of music and I'm entranced by the many different pitches. ...you'd know I listen to a wide variety of music. ...you'd know I was a music minor, and you'd know why I left. ...you'd also know it's one of the few things I would change in my life. That one day. ...you'd know tons of things....  |

			You'd know my confidence is real. I've earned it. I own it.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I seldom back down from anyone, especially if defending someone else. You'd also know that I am always working in my tact & diplomacy. I am a work in progress & I am man enough to admit that. My heart does bleed. I do feel pain. But you will only see that if you really know me.

			If you really knew me you would know that nothing matters more to me than the person I love. You would also know that, as much as I suffer for this, I can think of nothing else more worthy of it. I will break my heart a hundred times if it means that someone will catch it one day.

I adore my friends. I would drop anything I'm doing, to be there for them. ...that I am impulsively generous, sometimes in a way that is not in my own best interest—but I always know when to cut my losses, and I never regret being that way, because plenty good comes of it, too, and the people I've given to who've given back, are everything to me. ...that I'm not as confident as I might seem. ...that I never stop marveling at the choices I have.  |

			You would know why I am still up at 7am and not worry so much. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			You would know that sometimes my written words get misunderstood but when I speak them to you there is no misunderstanding the intent behind them. You would know I have something really difficult to deal with on Monday and I am battling with what the right thing is to do. You would know that most of the time I am not flirting I am being nice and trying to make someone smile if only for a brief second. You would know when I am flitting with you That how and why of things a person says ot does is extremely important to me. I am not perfect and I will be the first to tell you that That I will then attempt to rectify any misunderstanding. I am never late to something important and rarely if at all late to any event.

 IYRKM.... ....that what Miss Tia said is my MO, too ....that I will forgive up to the point where my own forgiveness becomes self-abusive or self-flagellation ....that, we accept the abuse we believe we deserve* ....that, although I'm often a blockhead, I'm not interested in being a martyr ....that I like to have fun, that though I'm sometimes a loud-mouth, I actually like to live tranquilly and pretty much do *adapted from RitaSink's favorite quote  |
