I'm goin' to take a stab at "who I am" here... I'm an open person... or try to be. It's a choice and one I like that I made. Grew up on a small ranch just west of Austin before Austin grew and smothered it. I was ADHD as a child (way back before it was identified) and I am ADHD today. Makes me good at some things, not so good at others.
As a computer programmer, I'm creative and think outside of the box... and that creativity flows into my "other" life, which is... I play the drums. I've played professionally in the past, quit for family reasons, and am currently working back into it.
I'm not an adrenaline junkie, but I am inclined to do some of the things that adrenaline junkies do, not for the rush as much as the challenge. I don't like to be afraid, and so, realizing how fearful I was of heights, I took up skydiving. One of the finest decisions I ever made.
In a relationship, I never take out my problems on others... it's just not in me. Not toward my significant other, not toward my kids. I embrace personal responsibility, but tend to forgive the lack of it in others... to a point. What is that point, and then what happens? Subject of another discussion, if we ever get past first dates.
