I always leave a very strong impression; most people either quickly love me or quickly hate me, but frankly, either one is good with me. I am extremely difficult to motivate, but even more difficult to stop once I have set my mind to something. I’ve been told that I carry myself in such a way that can be very intimidating to others who do not know me well; I never really understood why anyone feels this way about me, but I don’t suppose there’s much sense in worrying about it. I had to grow up fast and am much older than my years. I’ve had a fairly hard life, but I try to make the best of every experience and find something positive amongst the negative I've overcome--even if the only positive is that I overcame the negative. My mother is my only living blood relative, so my friends are extremely important to me--they ARE my family now. I am either the nicest person you've ever known or the most hateful prick you'll ever encounter; frequently, both in the same day. I have an extremely foul mouth and don't foresee that changing in the near future. I do not believe in sugar-coating the truth; doing so is a waste of time and an insult.  That aside, I can be extremely professional and diplomatic when the situation calls for it. I am the asshole with the heart of gold. I succeed at everything I put my heart into. I will change the world.
