So I'm trying to write a profile for Yahoo Relationships, and I have absolutely no idea what to write about myself.
I've become a slave to my work and my bills. If I have time to do something, I don't have the money to finance it. If I have the money, I don't have the time. So when it comes to the parts about hobbies and activities, I come up blank. I *used* to ski. I *used* to knit and sew and dabble at cross stich. I *used* to refinish furniture. I *used* to garden (not very good at it though. I get bored with weeding and watering). Used to doesn't cut it. They want to know what you do now. Um, work, avoid work, veg on the couch after I manage to slog through work, sleep, fit in a shower every couple of days, repeat.
As far as writing about something I could add to a relationship, or what I'm good at, I have no clue. All I see are the negatives - lazy, unmotivated, sloppy, boring. I can't even have an intelligent conversation because I'm so afraid of voicing my opinions and views because they're probably "wrong" and "uneducated."
I don't even know what other people see in me that I'm not seeing. If I knew, I could at least think about it and go "Yeah, they're right, I am."
I see a more-messy-than-clean house, a still-untrained dog, two bickering kids, furnishings that say "I'm a male, new college graduate without a job yet." Oh, and I stink at making long-range plans, although I like my friend's view on that. He's not a plan maker either. His take on that is "I've got my surfboard and I'm ready to surf." (Kind of funny that he chooses that phrase, considering he lives in Arizona. hahaha). We're both spur of the moment people. Now, if only he wasn't 9 years younger, lived so far away 3/4 of the year, and is most likely a confirmed bachelor.
Not to mention that I stir up more trouble in here than good and am a pain in the ***.
I need somebody to help put a positive spin on all of this.
