About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Laugh Love

ABOUT ME

According to the description of my sign - Aquarius - which I totally agree:

Strenghts:
- Witty
- Clever
- Humanitarian
- Inventive
- Original

Weaknesses:
- Stubborn
- Unemotional
- Sarcastic
- Rebellious
- Aloof

Aquarius and Friendship:
Beneath the detached, unemotional exterior lies a kind hearted friend that will go out of their way to help another. They love to make people laugh and cheer people up and it makes them feel good to make others feel good. They do not expect anything in return for this could put a damper on their freedom, they live with no strings attached. They are very unconventional and always full of excitement, an Aquarius friend always makes life fun. They might offer you a spontaneous last minute camping trip with no supplies prepared, if you decide to go along, you will have a weekend to remember forever!

PHILOSOPHY

"The more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique."
Walt Disney

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"
