LIFE

I bring excitement, energy, and adventure to most gatherings. I am often right in the thick of things, since it is hard for me to sit still and watch things happen. I take risks all the time at work, play, in my relationships -- I just don't seem to worry about the consequences. I've had a few really bad scrapes, but my optimism allows me to get through setbacks that might shut down others. I like doing things that keep me on the go -- creating, running, and negotiating. Even if I don't enjoy a task, I usually turn it into some kind of game so I can have fun doing it. I can just go on and on doing it after everyone else quits and goes home. I like challenges, contests, and competitions, especially if they require talent, skill, and adrenaline. I stretch the limits and set new records. I focus on the here and now. I want to experience all that life has to offer, and I do it with gusto.
