I'm Larissa. It's nice to meet you. I am a chronic apologizer. Here are a few more random things about me...I'm divorced, (which is a good thing) a good person, decently intelligent, an awesome friend, a horrible liar....and the list goes on and on. Basically, I'm an ok girl. I love poetry. particularly to write it even if i think it sucks. i do not like to capitalize things because i'm lazy. plus it's really not all that important. the message is conveyed whether or not my sentences are capitalized. i'm really a grammar freak so it's kind of funny. lots of things are contradictory about me, but that's ok because i like me just the way i am. i am a cynical romantic. pretty much that means that i'm extremely sappy but i have a hard time expressing it aloud. i can make you cry if i write it to you though. i hate failing and rejection. loathe them actually. also fighting. i try to be diplomatic when speaking without it really being a conscious effort. it just seems that i run things through the ol' processor before i blurt them out. i would never want to say anything to offend, upset, irritate, or generally bother anyone. i have no idea why. unless of course i am drunk. then i will tell you whatever i'm thinking without prior editing because i just don't care. luckily for those that love me, i don't get drunk too often. i wouldn't have any friends if i did. i'm an asshole when i'm drunk. it's hereditary. kind of like baldness. which actually comes from your mother's genes. medical terminology is sometihng that i really enjoy. i like knowing things. that sounds superficial if you say it out loud. it's really not. i'm just curious. too much so on occasion. i'm the geek that asks 25 questions in the classroom because i really want to know about something. i like to know how things work and then i like to know why they work that way. i'm a silly girl. music has saved my life at least 16,674 times and counting. i collect things. boxes. i like interesting boxes. pill boxes, jewelry boxes....square things in general are appealing to me for a reason i do not know. if i ever win the lottery i would travel all over the world for a couple of years and see all the places that are in my dreams. eventually i will see them all anyway. i'll just have to do it the old fashioned way. work. i love old people. i'm going to school to be a nurse. helping people with tasks that i used to take for granted. enjoy tying your shoes, your kids will be doing it one day. or you can deposit them into a nursing home or hospital and i will do it for them because you're too busy you fuck. the way i see it is not so much that you're obligated. i know that there are circumstances and that it's difficult. it takes a pretty strong person to do it day in and day out. i'm aware of all of that. it's just not something that i could do...you know, willingly leave my parents alone for random people to take care of them. even though i'm completely capable. i guess it's about sacrafice. so i feel i owe them, but you may not. another interesting thing about me is that i can ramble on and on and on....obviously.
