moo Profile public for one day only...then back to locked away! Feel free to send me messages or invites - but please, if you're asking for friendship, at least send a message with the request - that much effort would be really appreciated & shows willing.. United Kingdom Female

me?

The profile is usually private - and will return to being private after 24 hours (which is as long as I dare leave it exposed). I don't want to leave it open for longer but I would like to see if anyone actually notices or takes an interest. I would quite like to meet some new, interesting people, who may have been put off in the past because they couldn't read the information here. Maybe they'll be put off when they DO read it .. who knows?

The profile info begins below, but if you really can't be bothered to read all that, the short and sweet version is right at the bottom. I hope you don't skip straight to that, but I can't stop you doing it.

Well, I'm not a cow - most of the time. (My profile pic is usually a cow to match the name, but for the last few weeks I'm seeing how comfortable it feels to use my face instead. The jury is still out so be prepared to see a bovine image again fairly soon..)
The name's an in-joke but suits my purposes for anonymity; you really can't be too careful but if you get to know me here then you will probably know all you need, and then some. I am a shy person, which may not come across at first but I can hide behind a keyboard and tell you things I wouldn't tell my family or friends - I will be honest in what I say but reserve the right to say nothing if I want my privacy. I have become paranoid about what information I give out so would rather keep some things to myself, at least until I know you better.

It matters to me that moo is written in lowercase - I don't know why, it just seems better that way.

I'm a wife and mother - whether I'm any good as either I can't really say - the people you would need to ask don't even know I'm on here so I'm afraid you will have to guess.
I think I am a good judge of character but I'm not judgemental.
Nothing you say, do, or post as a comment, will shock or offend me, unless it is done maliciously. I would hope that nothing I do or say offends in return, and hope you will let me know if it does, so that I can apologise or explain.

If you have a sense of humour, are sarcastic, witty, down-to-earth, see things from a different angle, like bizarre conversations one day, yet profound insights the next, then you could probably be (and probably already are) a friend of mine. You don't know me in 'real life' and we are never likely to meet, but I like to think that the 'friends' I make here are genuine and can be relied on for support if needed, or to tell me to get a life or stop taking myself too seriously at other times.
I also find it amusing that a lot of the people I regularly 'talk' to may not give me a second glance if we passed in the street, yet we can have a laugh and joke on equal terms here. I don't care who you are or how old or young - if we can have a reasonable conversation, then great. Let's do it.

You will also find that I like to create groups - I am creative anyway and enjoy the whole process but the best part is when people join in and have fun too. You may get invites (tell me to stop sending them if you don't share my groupie passions), or you may have to check the profile regularly to find out the latest ones - here (if the link doesn't work, then just check out the latest under the usual groups/created section) - either way, seek them out and you won't regret it. Most are frivolous, but inspired nonetheless. Apparently you can tell a lot about someone from the groups they are in - you don't want to listen to that rubbish! I love joining them almost as much as creating them and have yet to find a way to say no.

Please don't try to befriend me for the purposes of selling me things, converting me to your religion, making me listen to your music or sending spam etc - if I want those things I am more than capable of seeking them out for myself.
Feel free to send me messages, comments on blogs or photos and anything that will make me feel loved. Isn't that what we all want, deep down?
I may not have mentioned this before but I hate birthdays. Hate them with a passion - I think it's a reminder of the passage of time and I really can do without it. So, NO to celebrations or anything connected with reminders of it please. If you know me at all you'll understand and believe me when I say it's the truth.

Thank you to each and every one of you who are already friends, and hello to future contacts and anyone just reading this for something to waste a little time.
It hasn't been a waste of time though, has it?

- it's still anonymous enough for me to ignore the messages or block you if you stalk me - so don't even think about it. But I do like to chat, so please feel free.
I have just upgraded my computer so you may find that I have firefox the next time you check .... maybe ...

Oh no! You couldn't be bothered to read the full version? You won't really know any of the truth about me then, but if you insist, and for those of you with limited patience or time, here's the short version:
22 possibly - hahaha (or not!! - open to guesses) - wife, mother, sarcastic (if you remember nothing else, please, please remember this one thing - nothing I say should be taken too seriously and we'll get along just fine). English, slightly mad, makes groups - too many maybe, doesn't shut up, likes to write blogs and likes it more if people actually bother to read them, loves getting comments, messages and invites, highly secretive until confident, grammar police, human spell-checker and proof reader, shy, always online even when I say I'm not going to be, loves to chat and spar verbally, doesn't tell anyone in real life that moo exists - NOBODY. Friend for life if you let me be.
Thank you for reading. (Now go back and read the full version).
