A little autobiography


Well I thought I'd ramble on about myself for a bit, so here it goes:
-I'm 23 years old, my birthday is January 20th, and it will be so awesome for George W Bush NOT to be innaugerated when I turn 26.
-I'm 5'7" and a half, my shoe size is 7 1/2 or 8 depending on the shoe.
-I recently went blonde, Its cool, but I do miss my brown hair b/c I think it was a pretty brown, not flat, it had a little natural red in it.
-The internet is my downfall, I'm addicted to it, especially since I've had this broken leg.
-I don't really tan unless I get burnt first, I try and avoid getting a deep tan b/c I want to have good skin when I'm older.
-I miss France, and the time I had there, the food was super and I actually lost weight.
-I don't like touching gross stuff, like fish or uncooked chicken, bugs, worm like things, etc.
-I freak out if you grab my neck or my ankles, I will freak the fuck out on you.
-As for religion I guess you could say I'm agnostic, I used the just think I was an atheist, but now I think there has to be more to life.
-I have ADD and have a hard time taking my ritalin b/c it mimicks the symptoms of my anxiety(see below).
-On the plus side, I do get to take all my tests in a separate room, have time and a half, and can get up and leave class w/o explaining myself.
-I love playing scrabble.
-If i ever got a dog I'd want a Mini Pin. They look like tiny dobermans but are cuter and alot smaller. They are not all frou frou, but they could be classified as a "yip yip dog", as Colin says
-Like most people I like to have sex, but I also like to just be close to my someone.
-I like to think of myself as a nice person, but I'm not effortlessly social, I've always been shy. I look back to elementary school and can't believe how shy I was, I've worked on it so much, but its still hard to talk to new people.
-I sleep alot because I'm always tired (see the depression bit below- the more I sleep, the worse I am feeling).
-I can relate just about anyting to the show Seinfeld, anything. Seriously, try me sometome.
-Cats are my favorite animal ever, I only have one but at one point I had 3, but two passed away.
-My cats name is Milo, and I'm really hoping to get him a kitten friend, but my Dad says he'll move out if we get another pet.
-Oh yes, I live with my parents. I just don't have 500 extra dollars a month to have an apartment right now.
-I have a record. Not my finest moment.
-People who tap in class, be it fingers or a pen, its just soooo distracting.
-I major in history, but I would like to be a writer at some point.
-At the moment I have a broken leg, and im taking a bit of darvocet, so everything I'm writing right now is a bit impaired.
-I shake all the time, its like a tremor, and theres no reason behind it, but I absolutely hate it when people comment on it.
-My favorite drink at the bar is a double vodka tonic, if I'm just chilling with people at a house, its a screwdriver all the way. I can't stomach rum anymore, I'm no longer a whiskey girl either, and I'll tell you why, whiskey makes you gain weight, I know this from personal experience.
-I smoke parliments, but never pot
-Alot of my friends are leaving the East Lansing area which really bums me out, you don't think about how much you care about people until they aren't around anymore.
-Sometimes I miss cappuchino cafe back in the day when it was the place to be.
-I always think of the worst case senario when I'm concerned about something.
-I have dealth with depression since I was about 16, and within the past 5 years or so Ive developed a nasty anxiety disorder that gets in the way of my life, alot more often than it should. I miss alot of fun things b/c I can't leave my darkened room.
-I like to read
-My family is very cool, we get along very well. My father does work too hard, but he has a very important job. He says essentially, he's running an insurance company, like PHP for instance, but instead of having thousands of people working under him making it work, he has 300. And they are always at a loss for money from the state. He also travels just about every week now. Its certainly not like it used to be but, he's really making a difference for people who would otherwise fall through the cracks. My mom is great to have around, as I've always said, she really is my best friend.
-I am an only child and everyone says they can tell- I'm sure what to make of that.
-I can sail.
-We have a sail boat and a cottage down the street from Higgins Lake, everyone who visits says its cute but looks nothing like a cottage should-- its too white and not kitchy.
-My house is the same way, I live in an Ethan Allen catalog.
-I have a boyfriend, who, like my father, works way too hard. I just realized that and I'm finding it a little creepy.
-I drive a jeep and it has pretty much been through hell and back, and could do it again if it had to. Sometimes I still miss my Golf, that was a good car.
-I'm going to write more about mr friends, especially my recently departed friends Kate, Collin and Anna.
-I'm about to take a nap, so this is done.
