L - learn·er noun
a person who is learning; student; pupil; apprentice; trainee.

I'm all about the process people. I feel like I am a student of life, of people, of being. I am never happier than when someone is showing me a new way to do an old and tired task. Or when I discover something new to me

I

Innocent...NOT! Incomparable? Maybe! Ioconclastic? Nope....the Aquarian in me refuses to shove my beliefs on any other folks.

Again here I am going with #3. Is that a sign? #3? Hmmmm
Anywhooo.....I'll cop to this one. I am hypersensitive. I can read people's moods as easily as a 12th grader can read "See Dick Run". For me, this means I know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Kenny Rogers...get thee to the back of the bus!


A - ar·tis·tic –adjective

LISA defined!
