  • My sister is "the smart one" and I've heard it said a lot in my family. Perhaps my feelings should be burt, but it's better then being referred to as "the ugly one" I suppose

    I'm fairly intelligent too, it's just that no one ever bothered to notice.

  • Bits and pieces of my first and last name together...but neither in their entirety.

  • The Cheat is a cartoon character (pic in my sig of the yellow guy) from www.homestarrunner.com, which I love.

    When I started this, I wanted to remind myself of the fact that I was making a lifestyle change and not going on another diet. You can cheat on diets, but you can't cheat on yourself, so hence Not The Cheat.
  • Evilwomaniamshe,
    My hubby came up with it and it is kinda fun being an evilwoman, makes people wonder why am I so evil, doesn't it? I ain't actually evil at all. I like to wing my eyeliner out a bit on the ends and my hubby thinks I look a tad bit evil yet oh so sexy when I do this, so hence the name evilwomaniamshe. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.....
