My Name is Sam

I was born Samantha Johanna Carter. I have one brother. My father still lives but my mom died when I was very young.

I have a doctorate in theoretical astrophysics and I am a major in the US Air Force. I work on a team but that part of my life is classified.

I've not had many boyfriends but I was engaged once. That ended badly.

I like to drink wine in a bubble bath surrounded by candles. I like slow music when I'm depressed and dance when I want to get happy.

I don't smoke but I do drink, although not to excess. I love the feel of wind in my hair as I drive my motorcycle 30 above the speed limit. I love the sound rain makes on the window pane.

I love to stay up watching lighting and can't wait for the thunder to answer. I have to put a face to the name I'm trying to recall but can remember any mathematical sentence to put into an equation. I like to take things apart, just so I can see what they're made up of when I put it back together.

I try to hide my feelings but sometimes they can be seen. And just because I don't show them doesn't mean I don't have them. In fact I enjoy a good sulk occasionally.

I am a woman, an aunt, a sister, a friend, a lover, a doer, a doctor, a major, a pilot. I am Sam. And all these are me. And although I try to be nice and understanding there are times when I just don't want. I am in love with a man who cares for me but we can't be together right now. So I contend myself with being a friend.

The End
