Who am I?

A woman getting towards her thirties – and I am really happy about that! Someone of mixed background and who is unhappy unless she is in a somewhat mixed environment. Someone obsessed with learning new things, new ideas, new tools. Someone who does try to take a philosophical approach to life – Sagittarius rising - , into esoteric subjects – strong Sagittarius and Scorpio – such as the Tarot, Astrology, Numerology.

A former math wiz (or likes to think of herself as such!), and certainly with a mathematics inclined mind. I say this because it shapes the way I think, I like logical explainable things. I love plans and structures in many ways. This said, part of me rebels when the plan is imposed or forced on me. I love control, and I need to feel control over my life, myself and what happens to me to be at my best.

I want to be someone that positively influences those around her – making people happy is a positive influence in my book – and I need to feel constructive and helpful. I crave being useful, and I need to feel that I am using everything that happens to me in the most constructive way possible. I am definitely influenced by New Age things, but I don’t have – or try not to have – a “fluffy bunny” view of things. I do see the negatives and the positives in things, I just figure that ideally I’ll take whatever is positive regardless of the negative, particularly if I can’t avoid the said event!

//Edited to add: Carole noted that I don’t post my photo much… Mh. Somewhere on this blog there is one.Yep, deleted the one here. Don’t know why. Felt like it.

Here is a link to my very first post too.

I am who am - and well, realistically I might never really manage to explain who I am since goodness knows if I even know.

One day, I (might) want to marry an MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) conductor.

Some funny quotes (to me): (the bold-ed out ones are my favorites)

What Did the Wednesday One-liners Just Say?
Bus driver: Will all the beautiful people please step to the rear? All the beautiful people, you know who you are. Thank you.

–Q46 bus

Overheard by: Joyce Shen

Conductor: Ladies and gentlemen: if you’re running late for your train, try calling out “please wait.” Most conductors will! The magic word gets used so seldom down here. This is your conductor speaking. And I’ll wait.

–F train

Conductor: Why you waving your hand in the door? You trying to catch a cab?

–B train

Bus driver: If you want good air conditioning, move to the middle. This bus is crap!

–QM1 bus

Overheard by: MissDona

Conductor: Ladies and gentlemen, we have some good news and some bad news. Bad news is that our engine has stopped. The good news is that you’re not on an airplane.

–MetroNorth train

Overheard by: Nic

Conductor: Attention ladies and gentlemen, this is not an interactive ride! Please do not hold the doors.

–D train

Overheard by: Camodee D

PA system: Ladies and gentlemen, riding on the outside of cars is dangerous. Please ride fully inside the cars.

–4 train

Overheard by: OJ-Gangas

Conductor: This is the D train headed to the Bronx. I repeat, this is the D train. D, as in Denise Richards.
