This is what I have written:

No tengo un novio o un esposo, pero lo me gusta. No quiero un novio ahora. Yo tengo una relación excelente con mi madre y mi mejor amigo, John. Mi madre es muy detallista, seria, y práctica. En contraste, yo soy un poco impulsiva, idealista, y generalmente alegre. A pesar de esto, nosotros somos más similares que lo aparece. Somos ambos nostálgicas, cariñosas, y tranquilas. Ella vive en Kansas, y me visita solamente una vez al mes. Mi mejor amigo vive en Kansas también. El atiende un universidad en el centre de ninguna parte. El es muy inteligente, ingenioso, y sarcástico. También, el es generalmente agradable pero un poco obstinado. El siempre me hace sonrisa cuando estoy triste. Ojalá que los dos veo pronto. Voy a visitar Kansas para Thanksgiving con tal de que me hacer reservaciones de aeroplano.

This is what I am trying to say:

I don't have a boyfriend or husband, but I like it that way. (how do I say this?) I don't want a boyfriend right now. I do have an excellent relationship with my mother and my best friend, John. My mother is very detail-oriented, serious, and practical. In contrast, I am a bit impulsive, idealistic, and generally cheerful. Despite this, we are more similar than it appears. We are both nostalgic, caring, and calm. She lives in Kansas, and visits me only once a month. My best friend lives in Kansas as well, and he goes to a university in the middle of nowhere. He is very intelligent, witty, and sarcastic. Also, he is generally agreeable, but can be a bit stubborn. He always makes me smile when I am sad. I hope that I can see them both soon, I am going to visit Kansas for Thanksgiving provided that I make airplane reservations.

How badly did I fail?

For the most part it is right.  There's some things in there that aren't translated the right way.

"pero lo me gusta" should be "pero asi me gusta"

"en el centre de ninguna parte"  should be "en medio de la nada"

"me hace sonrisa" should be " me hace sonreir"

"con tal de que me hacer reservaciones de aeroplano" should be "si es que hago reservaciones de viaje for avion"

Voy a visitar Kansas para Thanksgiving [I guess you could use thanksgiving or you could say "día de acción de gracias"] con tal de que me hacer reservaciones de aeroplano.


and the other person corrected the last part quite nicely :p
