Constance's Story

I must be getting senile because I am sharing more than I ever did. Or maybe it's just the real me coming out?!!! Anyway, the q&a are not that easy for me to answer. You see, I am a Gemini. Geminis, I think, have split pesonalities, not like a multi, but we can be more agreeable because of the ability to see both sides and like two things equally. As for the music question, I have no idea what a few of the music catagories mean. R&B. Is that still considered rythem and blues? Rock & Roll, yes. The classic 50's and 60's. Yes. I just know what tunes I like and do not qualify them. Oh yes, rap? Hate it. Both of us (Gemini) do. I love to laugh. Anyone with a sense of humor is a potential friend. At times I have been accused of having a dark side to my humor, but I see it as being able to see the positive side of a negative situation and a way of coping. I always wanted to be a model when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were dissapointed, and so am I. My favorite way to relax and kick back is sharing dinner and good wine and listening to music with family and friends. If I won $100 million, I'd give some of it to the ASPCA, then spend the rest on my children, my family and enjoy traveling around the world. There are so many other things there is not enough room here to list. My current age is 72. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be dead. I was so completely wrong. My best friend would tell you I'm easy to be with, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as aloof. After being gone from Portland for for 32 years I have now come full circle and moved back here in April 2010. I am rekindling old friendships and have so much fun. I have my own appartment with my dog and am loving it. I am back with my family and close friends. In 10 years, I hope to be alive. I'm going to get there by staying healthy. My oldest and best friend and I met when we were juniors at Deering High School. We immediately hit it off because we seemed to be on the same wave length. What I really think is we are soul sisters and kindred spirits. Fifty-six years later and still best friends actually speaks for itself. Even though we seen each other infrequently time means nothing. My first job was at a diner-drugstore, where I got paid $.25 hourly to wait on people and cook. What I remember most about it is spilling a carafe of hot coffee on my self. A lady customer came to my rescue. Never a blister. I hope old friends remember me being a good friend with a sense of humor and always laughing. Thinking a negative can be turned into a positive. The wildest thi...Expand for more
ng I ever did in school was continue my senior year married. This was also the hardest thing I ever had to do. Very good friends helped me get through this and it turned out to be my best year. I will never forget them and be forever in their dept. During my lifetime I have lived in Maine, NH, Massachusetts, Florida, California and recently N. Carolina. I am now back in Maine, probably for the rest of my life. Even though I hate the cold weather, my favorite place to live is Cape Cod and Portland, ME. My favorite person from my past who I'd most liket to see is my grandmother. She brought me up and I loved her like a mother. She is my hero. As is my grandfather. My Obsessions are my two dogs, Bichon Abby and Yorkie Annie. My Yorkie is now living with my daughter. It was hard at first but I could have only one pet where I now live. Annie was always very attached to my daugher and loves living with her and the two kitties. My biggest surprise in life that I am widowed at this early age, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Don't take that wrong. I don't wish anyone dead. If I could improve my life style I would have a cottage on the ocean and a winter home in the tropical US. A get-a-way in the South of France, just for fun and relaxation. It would have to be a cottage with vines and flowers. A little secluded old cottage with such charm it would take you back to a better time. This is certainly a dream to dream and I love dreaming. Talk style? I love beautiful anything. My taste hasn't changed in the past 10 to 20 years but I do dress the way I feel. Of course clothes do not look the way they did a few years back. But who's looking anymore? If I had one thing to do-over I would change almost my entire life. Except for my children. I am very close to them. Don't think I am bitter. But it would be nice to alter all the bad mistakes I made. I'll never forget this childhood memory when I was about 10 years old. I was brought up on a farm and loved my old work horse. We would ride every where. One time we were following a path through the woods, which had been a pasture but was over grown with trees and whatever. It had a rusted barbed wire fence half buried in the ground. My horse got tangle in this wire and fell to the ground. How I ever got her untangled is still a mystery to me but I have an idea Who helped me. We finally got out of the woods and with blood running down her legs from the deep lacerations, found our way home. The last story, is the story of my life; with blood running down my legs I found my way home. How melodramatic. Huh? Update. I recently moved back to Portland. Now I have come full circle. What's next????
