It's Springtime, something that makes me happy to no end! For me, spring time also means a big Spring Cleaning, and so I thought I'd update my page. First time in over 3-4 years, so it's long past due :)
Please forgive me my work in progress, I'm still tinkering with a lot of stuff, rediscovering my html skills, and seeing how a background works for me.
If you've visited my page before, you'll notice the change, and if you haven't... ah... then never mind :)
Anyway, please feel welcome, feel free to snoop around. If you're interested, you can watch pictures of the real life me, or a few snaps of my kids... I don't really need to have my face plastered all over the WWW, so forgive me my discretion. But you're welcome to satisfy any curiosity you might feel.
After all, I'm a real life person, with a real life life, real life job with responsibilities.
I'm a message tagging fool, but over the years I've spent less and less time online.
As my priorities changed over the past 5 years, I find myself getting annoyed at how much IMVU lags my computer, and so you will seldom find me online. I simply uninstalled the client.
I have a husband, a daughter and a son. My extended family includes my friends, some of my colleagues. Both parents are still alive, I have wonderful in-laws. My sister and her family and my "stepfather-in-law"-s children and grandchildren.

Yes, fluids are tantamount to survival. I rarely drink alcohol though, I fall asleep after 2-3 drinks. No fun at all :)
Do You Do Drugs?:
Nope. I'm a control freak. I don't dare lose control and so I've never even tried. I don't have any friends that do, and am very intolerant of people doing drugs.
Are You in a Relationship?:
Yes, I'm happily married. I think my husband is also :)
What Do You Do For a Living?:
I work as a front office worker in social services, in the largest municipality close to me. I'm the first person you talk to when you apply for welfare in the city I work in.
Favourite Movies?:

What Brings You to Tears?:
I see a lot of people who've had to deal with neglect, abuse and suffering. When they rise above that, stand up for themselves or for their kids, it makes me proud as a peacock. It never ceases to amaze me how strong and resilient they can be. That moves me, I tear up because of that. I try not to, but it's hard to prevent that when someone you've only talked to for an hour is making my heart burst with pride :)
What Are You Currently Reading?:
I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone to my kids. It's in Dutch. I don't really like the translation: it loses a lot of the witty English humour... I tried reasing it to them in English but they just didn't understand diddley...

What's One of Your Guilty Pleasures?:
Chocolate!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))))
Are You Self-Destructive?:
I tend to be accident prone. But I would never intentionaly hurt myself

My Interests
Rules of conduct for catching my interest:
* I am pretty ageless. Inside my head, that is. Pictures and my mirror tell me that I'm really, really 45 :D
* Spelling correctly is a must. I'm quite the Grammar Nazi.
* I like people who have something to say. If your repertoire is limited to being guapo, or how hot my pixels are, I'll end chat.
* No, I do not physically look like my avatar in the slightest. I'm very much a 3D woman. I'm a big girl, with curves and lots-of-love handles. What you see is a reflection of me. Her taste is mine. Poca is Barbara, Barbara is Poca, there's no getting around it. There are real life pictures of me in my albums. Feel free to check whom you're chatting with. I don't mind if you don't think I'm pretty. I'm already married to someone who does :)
* I clean my buddylist regularly. Purge it of people I adored, love to talk to, but haven't in a while. I like to keep it neat, well organised and current. I'm anal like that.
* I do not collect buddies. I will not honour random add-requests and am terribly picky about adding buddies.
* I'm married in real life and I'm as happy as I could possibly hope to be. I trust my husband is also ;)
I'm not interested in a romantic relationship with anyone else. There's no way in hell I'd real life or pixel-cheat on him. Should you be inclined to want to woo me off my socks, I can understand the urge but am not interested. Hey, I'd date me too! :P
* Real people rule! There's no need to make up stories about yourself.
* Read books!! Trust me, they make you smarter *grins*
* Pretend to be cool for (ab)using drugs and I'll ditch you faster than you can say "loser"
