#One - Part 2

• Good head for abstract maths
• Once had big plans for the future with a guy; plans for their dreams as a family, rather than individual goals. Then he left.
  • Tries not to feel bad about it, but doesn't have many big goals
• does odd work, bits and pieces of different things. Freelancing, mystery shopping
  • Doesn't like to be tied down, and likes to have a less structured life
• Somewhat embarrassed by the thought that people might think she has kids
• Thinks of reading as a hobby. Quite likes mysteries, likes problem solving.
• Once hoped of a job with maths, but found that companies were expecting calculators to replace accountants. There's a little bit of anger there, but she doesn't really think about it any more.
• Was once "hypnotised" by a boyfriend in college
  • Tried bondage, making her think she couldn't move, but it didn't work
  • Went back to actual ribbon bondage, and a dinky little whip. Didn't do much for her, but the bf was pretty into it, so she was happy to play along for a year or so
