No

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, 8 years ago, when I was 25 years old. How has it not affected me is the question. Learning to live with this chronic illness every day and trying to function like a normal happy twenty some year old has been a task on its own. Not to mention, going through a marriage, divorce, and single motherhood by the age of 28. My life has truly become a reality show on its own.

Graduating college and becoming a high school English teacher for seven years is one of my most rewarding moments. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis the second day I was teaching my first year. I strived forward after a week of rest, and I continued to teach another 5 years, before I was advised, that I needed to collect disability. Being SuperWoman, 24/7 in every aspect of my life, turned out to be too much for my body. My quality of life was demising, so quietly I obliged.

First time in casino, after a wedding, thinking I was hot shit. Looking back, I would say whor-ish. Short cute dress with three drunk ass boys thinking they were the shit. I started on the black jack table; drunk, I was a pro in my mind. Not knowing your were to be silent at the table, loud little me is screaming "Hit me" every chance. Once informed, I stopped screaming and began slapping the table. Not only did my martini fly off, so did it. Legs flailing in the air with my Sunday best.

Man on Fire

Friends

My face

No limits, fair game. Just be prepared that I will not hold back my own personal thoughts on any topic. Anything negative about my family or friends, you just began a war that I will not only start and finish but will do it 100% alone. I am the sweetest thing you could meet, I always say, until you give me that reason to be otherwise. And then, game on. I will make you feel like the biggest piece of shit. I watch everyone. I study you. I find your weakness, and that is now my new prey.

I have normal ear piercings. Perfect to fit my hoops. All that I will wear. I have now accumulated 10 tattoos, the last 4 being done together last week. Tat #1: Of course, 18 year old mistake, PlayBoy Bunny on my ass. #2 and #6: Forza - strength in Italian - finger and back #3: Bella Mia on ribs for my daughter #4: Margaret Thatcher quote on leg #5: Italian Flowers - to be finished down other leg #7: Heart finger tat #8: Below boob tat #9: Infinity back tat #10: Shoulder blade tat

I think that almost everyone would agree that I am very loyal and extremely generous to friends and family. If you happen to fall into one of the two c, you are in luck. This hot headed Italian mama will never stray, will always defend you, and will always carry you when needed. As far as being overly generous, I hate seeing anyone struggle. I will try to help in any possible way, be it financially, physically, or emotionally. I dealt with struggle and refuse to just sit back and watch.

While it is one of my best qualities, it is also one of my worst my close friends often remind me. While being overly generous to those I consider close, I often find myself feeling used and betrayed. I loan money too quickly, I bare your issues, which can cause physical stress on my weak body, and I end up with one less friend cause they were never a true friend. I, also, have a very mean streak. You burn me, you have now become my obsession, and you will want to have never known me.
