| What Makes Me What I Am |
| Well, I'm certain that a lot of carbon atoms make me what I am, so maybe I meant what makes me who I am. I don't know anymore. All I know is I am different from everybody else which makes me the same as everybody else because everybody is different. The wonders of circular arguments! So, I'm just going to give you some brief inanities about myself. Well, brief may not be the word. Inanities, though, definitely applies. |
| Where I Was Born and Where I Grew Up: I was born in Utah, but moved four years later to California. My dad was feeling oppressed by the dominant religion in Utah, plus the weather was might chilly, so we moved to California. It doesn't snow wher eI live in California, so I missed the snow an awful lot. I think that's why I moved to Idaho for university. I don't rememeber much about living in Utah, I just remember that times we visited my Grandma there. Little did I know that the place I lived in California was rather Bohemian, I guess you can say. Many people made their living off of arts and crafts and natural drugs were in abundance. For some strange reason, I never got into the drug culture while growing up there. I'm still not in it. However, those who grew up in my generation, uh, let's just say out of 56 people who gradtuate in my class in grade 8, 22 graduated high school. Kinda scary if you ask me. Motiviation: For some strange reason, I always have wanted to rise above whatever impoverishments I faced as a child. When the idea of university first was presented to me, I knew immediately that I wanted to go to university. It turns out, I am the only person in my family to have attended a four year university. I also plan on graduating, too. When I turned 17, I thought about what my life would have been like had I followed my mom's path. She had two kids at the age of 17 and she had dropped out of high school. I was a senior in high school taking three Advanced Placement classes and getting ready to graduate. So, I knew then that I had accomplished something great, yet, for some strange reason, I never thought much of it because it had always been my goal to got to university and nothing was going to get in my way. I am a highly motivated individual when it comes to school. Also, I'm highly motivated in politics. This is something my parents always taught me to be. Funny, neither one of them have been politically active after I turned 18. What's up with that? Yah, even when I was in grade one, my parents would involve me in the political process. They'd tell me the difference between the Republican and Democrat parties, why they voted the way they did and, when I got older, even asked me my views on policies. And I'd happily give them my thoughts. Downfalls: Well, there have been some problems in my life. No one's life is completely peachy keen, but some are better than others. I often considered myself fortunate in life. Yet, there has been one part of my life that was seemingly lacking until I came to university. Social life. Because I drowned myself in my studies and the people who I lived near were not exactly people I'd hang out with, I never had many friends. I had, at most, three friends in high school. I ended up only having one in the end. I'm 20 years old, as I'm writing this and I've never had a boyfriend ot have been out on a date. In all truth and honesty, I'm socially inept. It doesn't help that I'm ridiculed over my appearance, either that, or freaked out by guys who are attracted to me. But, that's mainly because they'd approach me in a creepy manner. There's one guy who doesn't creep me out, but, I'm not going to reveal that information. So, yes, I have a really hard time being around people, especially ones that don't think the same way I do or just kinda clutter up en mass and don't know what the hell they are doing. Shallow people also really annoy me. Really, I'm talking about people who are constantly shallow, because everyone is shallow at certain times. So, yah, I find it really hard to talk to people and make friends. What's ironic, is all they people I am friend with are socially inept, too. We all agree that some of the reasons why we are inept is because we are brash, opinionated, smart asses, sarcastic, we lack tact and it's more fun to play on the computer than talk to a real human being. So, yah. If this describes you, I'm sure we'll get along great. Oh, and by the way, my favourite thing to do is confuse people. So, watch out! |
