I know I do not fit that profile. I always think before I act. My
younger brother drives me crazy, he never thinks about what will happen
doing this or that. When I was a kid if I was doing something that I
shouldn't I could never have fun because I was always thinking about
what could or would happen. I definetely do not take risks unless I
know the true outcome. Of course then it is not a risk. Everything is
a HUGE decision to me. You should see me buying christmas presents, I
put a lot of thought into it!
As a matter of example, I always read my posts a couple of times to make
sure I am coming acrossed as I want, even when I am being a tad bitchy
:)
What can I say, that is just Smed (I mean think about it, have you ever
seen me take the risk of using my real name)
