I’ve lived a pretty much one-track life so far. I was born, I grew up. Aside from a 4-year stint of being, for all intents and purposes, kidnapped by my mom and being forced to move to Colorado, nearly my whole life has been spent in Southern California. That was fun. “I know we just came out here to visit Grandma, but we’re not going home. We’re going to live here now.” 3 schools, 5 houses and a messy divorce later and we’re right back in LA. Now I’m actually in Northern California at UC Santa Cruz trying to finish up a bachelor’s degree by 2010 that I should have gotten last year. Bio Major now, future med student hopefully. I guess I’m a perpetual victim of Murphey’s Law. Lost my first love in a car crash with a drunk driver in high school. Got so depressed I barely left my room for years after that. Passed all the tests with flying colors and had a letter of recommendation from a 3-star vice admiral of the fleet for the Naval Academy… but they ran out of spots. Get accepted into UCSC a year ago… but they “re-evaluate” my application and decide I need 3 more units before I can come, and they wait until 2 days before I move up here to tell me this. Get in this year and I’m paying $1,100 a month to live in a military bunker at the bottom of a pit. Been in 5 car accidents since I got my license, not one of them has been my fault. I don’t have any trouble avoiding other people, but stupid people always seem to aim for me.
But I try to keep my spirits up, try to stay positive. I may be a couple years behind in getting my bachelor’s degree, but I’ve made some fun of my time. Got a job with Boeing Satellite Systems at 17. Worked for Disneyland and for Blizzard Entertainment. I’m still technically employed by Planned Parenthood, so I know more about the weird stuff that can effect a girl’s anatomy than I ever wanted to know. Met a lot of cool people, and actually managed to stay friends with a few of them over the years. I even met an awesome girl and two years later I’m still happy every day I wake up knowing I’m with her. Spent time in Las Vegas, New Orleans, New York, Canada, Chicago, England and Italy and I enjoy any time I get to take a trip that’s more than just to the next city.
I’ve been described as generous and nice, but also boring and predictable. I’ve often been the one friends have come to with secrets or problems, not because they need advice, but because they need someone who can listen and care. I’ve always been kind of a nerd, but have recently been treading on the road of tattoos and piercings and liking where it’s taking me. 23 is kind of late to be discovering who I am, but I’m making this my time to find my true passions in life and build myself into who I want to be.
Sweetheart, I still think you should elaborate on the anonymous factor of the internet, and how bloggers are fucktards, so we are also fucktards.
