A silly little chain thing that is going around facebook, but thought I would share it with those on my other networks too, since it is another look at me. AGAIN! Lol. I always share too much of myself with other. Enjoy! MM

I have been tagged too many times now to pretend I am not reading these, so I give up. Ill bite. I don't know that those closest to me will be shocked at all, I am a pretty open book to my closest circle.
1. I have an amazing man who loves me more than I know how to appreciate, return or even understand why he does. I put him through more tests and trials than any one person should have to endure to show their love, but I think it is because the only love I recogize is that in movies & books which is usually about overcoming obstacles and constant proof.
2. I can relate almost anything in life to books or movies, as that is my only link to 'normal' life outside of my business....which obviously is not even normal either. Hence, I happen to live in my own little fantasy land much of the time.
3. I am painfully shy around people who are not somehow related to the business. The only time I manage to overcome my shyness is around work people because I have no choice. Some people I never warm up strictly because I feel like I cannot be myself or like it is too much of an act to be who I think they want me to be.
4. I much prefer staying home than going out. I am incredibly happy spending time on my own in quiet with my cats, a book, a movie or a computer game.
5. I don't leave myself much time for anything other than work. I don't really know how to exist without my work anymore. Just about everything I do is somehow connect to it. I LOVE my job and am immensely please with my accomplishment thus far. My work is my life and I see no reason why it should not be.
6. My full initials are MNO because my parents wanted to name me Monika O and though it would be cute to put a middle initial that was in alphabetical order. Too bad for them, I answer to Monika Maple more often than I do my real name.
7. I spend far too much time in the mirror. I take only mere minutes to get ready if I am not working BUT I am obessessed with my own appearance. I can always find something in my reflection that I loath and usually something on my face to pick at as well.
8. I will eventually (soon I hope) get my eyebrows permanately tattooed (they are blonde) and get under my eyes filled with something to remove my permanate bags/indents. I would love to also get my nose and stomach done but probably never will. I will for sure get my breast lifted once every 15 years or so, just not sure when I will try the first one. I also hate my nipples but I dont think there is any sugery for that.
9. More and more I find myself accepting what I see in the mirror. Occassionally, I look in the mirror and actually sorta like the face that looks back. It doesn't last long, but it is a second more than I use to love myself.
10. I have and have just about always had issues with my body. I am don't think my family gave me any negative impressions about body weight but it has been a lifelong struggle. I was always too thin, too fat or just not the right shape. I had bulmia for a year when I was in grade school and got very thin BUT still had a big stomach. I think that is when I realized that no matter what I do, I will always have an unproportionate stomach BUT it has not for a second made me stop yo-yo dieting.
11. My work is such a part of my life that when I have a lot of shoots coming up, my skin looks great. If I know I have a week off, then I will break out. I also can manage not to get over illnesses and other things when I have to work, than would normally put me out of commission.
12. Moving to Barrie has been a fantastic experience for me, even though rather controversial for some people. I feel better, I look better, I smile more, I am actually paying all my own bills ON TIME, saving some money, learning to rely on myself and generally all around much more at peace. The commute sucks but even that has taught me more patience.
13. I may be a bit of a freak when it comes to cleaning. The jury is still out. But I do have a problem with organization...I have bins inside of baskets. The only thing I am missing is a label maker.
14. I know I do not belong in my industry but I solider on like I own the show. People keep booking me, so Ill keep pretending that I am sexy as long as I can. I talk a good enough talk and have a good enough reputation strictly based upon my personality and professionalism....nothing to do with my looks...opps!
15. I love to brush my teeth til they bleed. If it takes an hour, then I will do it. If it burns some of my taste buds, then I will do it. Sometimes I brush so long, I can read 3 or 4 chapters in a book and forget I am even brushing, but for the fact that I need to spit a bunch of times.
16. I always wear the same pair of shoes everyday. I have a few other pairs, but I don't like the bother of changing. I have tons more stripper shoes than normal shoes. I only own about 4 purses and use the same one everyday for a year or two before changing.
17. I have very few clothes that can be worn in public. I don't care for clothing, I would much rather buy a book or go to the movies.
18. I have always been the smart girl, never the pretty one. It is a role I like and am comfortable with. My parents never thought me that looks were important, only brains. I am only now sseeing how differently the world treats attractive people but am not entirely phased by it. When people mistake me for the pretty, brainless type, I am insistant on correcting their views, it feels like such a misrepresentation.
19. I never finished highschool but was an honour roll student. I didn't drop out for any reason other than my family life got far too complicated and I had a very rough time dealing with it....drugs were not involved, nor was pregnacy. When I look at my best friend's university work it does not look hard in the least, rarely do I even need much time to think about the answers. School has always just come very naturally to me.
20. I am disgustingly jealous of far too many people for far too many stupid reasons. I often even want what I know I ultimately do not want or need. I think I am just searching for the greener grass and often mine is greener or I convience myself that I must be mistaken.
21. I have gone through so many hard things in my life according to outsider's views, but I do not feel that is so. While I had some struggles with things in my life that may be seen as major, I think I am too easygoing to feel things or purhaps cold?! Looking back so far, I think life has gone relatively smooth compared to many different possiblities if I had simiply been born in a variety of other countries.
22. I often wish that I had more trial in my life. Everything I have endured I am managed to overcome without much effort, mostly just time. I wish I had a chance to really test my character, mainly because I think it would fail me but hope it would not.
23. I hae only 2 people I would call best friends who I can talk to about anything. I have only about 3 other close friends. I have far too many 'friends' who I would never call to vent and far too many aquaintences. I have no desire to make more friends, I am happy with the ones I have, occassionally someone surprises me though and ends up changing that.
24. I often imagine I am being watched, while I am driving, showering, changing, eating, ect. I always feel like I need to do these things just right incase a ?stalker? or peeping tom is watching me. Wouldn't want them to get the wrong opinion of me LOL.
25. I have a weakness for vegatables. I don't like fruit all that much. I can only eat a little bit of chips, cookies or chocolate. I hate my vegatables sweetened. I hate chocolate and fruit mixed, or fruit mixed with anything for that matter. I enjoy meat. I really love cupcakes, whip cream and ice cream. MMmm, and everyone knows: I LIVE ON REDBULL & COFFEE!
26. Yep, I went and did it. Rules can't confine me! #26 hahaha! I have a 'mild' tremour that I must take medication for each day. The doctor may term it mild, but without my medication I cannot even get soup from a bowl to my mouth. I always look like a strung out junkie who is shaking from head to toe. BUt it is MILD because if I press my hand or leg against something that fully supports it weight, then it will not shake as much. HAHAHA!
