If you really knew me you would know that:

One harsh word spoken to me stays with me for a long time..I am more insecure than you know....I keep count of how often you make me cry :(

If you really knew me you'd know.....

~That I'm a very forgiving person and will see you through almost anything, but if you lie to me or steal from me, it's on like Donkey Kong!!!

~That I'm a serious workaholic and it wasn't til maybe a year ago I realized I needed to reorganize my priorities to respectfully make time for family and friends regularly.

~That I'm a natural born traveler that prefers train or car trips, though I love the thrust of the engines when flying.

If you really knew me you know:
I am a paradox
My word is my bond
I still believe in living by a code of honor
I take living my faith and calling very seriously
It grieves me the things done and said in the name of Christ that in no way reflect the love of God

I love certain patterns: plaid, argyle, houndstooth.
I have eccentric music tastes, from Johnny Cash to Joy Division to gangsta rap.
I used to read a lot of books, but rarely feel motivated to read anything beyond the magazines we get in the mail or the doctor's office.
My least favorite chore is either dishes or scooping cat litter.
I love to listen to daisy sing. I sometimes wish I could play an instrument to accompany her.

If You really Knew me, you'd know I have zero tolerance to BS

If you really knew me, you'd know I mean what I say and say what I mean

If you really knew me, you'd know I love with a passion

If you really knew me, I can forgive many times over

If you really knew me, You'd know I'm persistent

If you really knew me, you would know I don't ever give up

If you really knew me,you'd know I would die protecting animals

If you knew me, you'd know I love to be around the elderly

If you really knew me, you would know...

... that my little obsessions such as keeping things in their place, really DO mean something to me, and I'm not just being a control freak.

... that I do mean well; my intentions are pure, even if it doesn't seem that way. I'm just really bad at wording things the right way, and more often than not, I open-mouth-and-insert-both-feet without realising it :/

Matthew... I sleep with the window open at night - even during winter ;) I don't know what it is, but I have to have both the heat on and the window open to maintain a body temperature that's comfortable enough for me to sleep.

If you really knew me you would know...

I am skeptical about the possibility of really knowing a person. However, I believe every effort should be made to do so if you value the relationship.

I iron everything I wash.

I think Rowenta irons are the best!

If you really knew me...

My OCD drives me crazy. That everytime i use a bathroom i have to check it 5 times to make sure its cleaner then i found it. If i dont, i freak out. I also always have to touch my face/head in some way. I freak out if i dont

i wont touch butter if there are crumbs in it

my favorite juice is the V8 fusions pomegranate blueberry or orange juice i squeezed myself

i have a transformers decepticon symbol tattooed on the back of my head

all of my 10 tattoos have a personal story and are the reason why i gave up cutting as a teen

i used to be a serial cheater and a womanizer. An incident early december made me realize that i want nothing to do with casual sex or friends with benefits.

people i assume that im a raging pot head. I'm almost 100% sober. I dont go anywhere near weed, pills, or other drugs in any way shape or form. People find it very shocking. Its rare that i drink as well. Despite my sobriety, i fully support the legalization of weed.

spelling errors make me insane

i love stuffed animals

my cat patches is my guardian and my kindred spirit. we've had him since he was 6 weeks old and 15 years later. when he dies, i'm getting his portrait tattooed, covering my calf.

i am a hell of a lot of fun, despite my anal retentive tendencies. despite, my rough exterior and shortcomings. Im the person who has dropped their keys in lake michigan, got stranded in 90 degree weather with no shade and still had a blast dealing with it.

I am also the reason why there are warning labels on common house hold goods. Back in november i was putting cling wrap on my decepticon tattoo and managed to get my knuckle caught in the blade. I cut it right down to the bone. After it healed, i hit it at work and resplit it open. It was in a splint, on and off for a month. I discovered that i nicked my tendon and possibly some nerves. Its now febuary, almost 3 months later and i still dont have full movment in it and it hurts just as bad as the day i cut it. :) watch out for those blades. they're sharp.
