About Moi

Ok… here goes…

I am a college student. I am broke, like most college students, especially since I have been studying abroad in Germany since Sept. I leave Europe soon though, and it is going to be bittersweet. I’m going to miss it here and miss everyone, but I’m ready to get home and see my family and friends there.

I don’t know what I “want to be when I grow up” just yet… I am majoring in International Studies, hence my year abroad, and I am thinking of minoring in Creative Writing and Spanish. I would love to get paid to travel as a job. I would love to work for National Geographic or the Travel Channel. But I’m not ruling out being a Youth Minister in the Episcopal Church either.

I live my life in the moment. In the here and now…as much as is possible. I absolutely hate it when people say “Fuck My Life” or “FML” because at least you are alive… and things could be worse.

I miss my dogs more than my family some days, and most nights…i miss finding dog hair on all my clothes and their smell and their comfortable warmth at night. But I get to see them on the 20th of June.

I’ve learned alot from my European adventures here… and I will take these lessons with me forever. I’ll miss the people I’ve met, and we will all attempt to keep intouch (thank you internet and Facebook) but I know that some of the people I have met this year, I will never see again. So I am enjoying the time I have left here with them.

I miss my old roomie… my friend from home… my current one isn’t so great…but I have promised my bff dom that I will try to not talk about how much she annoys me on my blogs… ;)

I wear my chucks with everything…and i usually get lots of stares, partially because my laces are currently “hazard” orange. lol… but you can’t tell me chucks don’t go with what I’m wearing…because that will just make me more determined to wear them with EVERYTHING! ;)

I miss driving my car…but i don’t miss paying for gas and insurance…that’ll be here soon enough lol

I hate to say it…but I actually miss walmart and target… mainly for the ease of getting everything in one stop… here, i have to go to 4 different stores to get all of my food/necessities…and then, i still can’t always find somethings!

Contrary to popular belief, my favorite drink is Milk. I would rather have a huge glass of ice cold milk than a beer any night! lol… if I could order it at the bars and clubs here, i would… but if i had to pick a favorite alcoholic drink… it would be something like Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum (with coke or shots), Tequila Shots (with salt and lemon), or Jack&Coke… however, I’m more of a wino… I looove me some red wine…and if it is shitty cheap red wine, I mix it with soda…Calimoxo…mmm… great for drinking games! but non-alcoholic drinks…besides milk would have to be Kool-aid (strawberry, cherry, watermelon, etc), Vitamin Water, diet cola, and water… mmm… lol… It got so bad here that I made my mom mail me some Kool-aid mix! lol

I get along better with my mom now than i ever did growing up. I’m sad that it took her mom’s death and her softball accident to bring us closer, but I’m glad we are closer now. We talk about a lot of things now, and I finally feel that I can trust her with things. I’m still my daddy’s baby girl though, and he only wants what’s best for me and my little brother, but I hope he knows that I have to grow up eventually… and usually, I am more worried about disappointing him than anyone else, because he works so hard to be able to help my brother and i with everything. and my step-dad is pretty cool too… ;) at one point, he was about to kick me out of the house…but he misses my cooking and helping around the house… so he’s letting me stay…but i have to move out by the age of 35 he says…lol… but we have a lot in common when it comes to music and things… Mom swears that she liked bands before we made her listen to them…hahaha… nope… And then there is my little brother Ian, I would do just about anything for him…I’d give him one of my kidneys if he needed it…without him even asking…without hesitation… don’t tell him, but I admire him…he is always himself, 100% of the time… he doesn’t care what other people have to say…he’s still himself…and I try to do that now too… and apparently it works somedays… because some of the people I have met here said the same about me, that they admire how I don’t care what people think… even tho secretly i do…

My blogs are where I can express myself without second thought… I just let my fingers go to work… I usually don’t backspace or delete… too much… typos are common, but sometimes i take the time to fix them…sometimes not… lol… I never delete or throw away things i write…and after many many times of yelling at my mom followed by me going “dumpster diving” she doesn’t throw away any scraps of paper she finds lying around my room either… you never know when you may want those little blurbs…

anyways… I’m sure this is more than you could have ever wanted to know about me on here… so I am going to go…and study some more… finals suck… did i mention i had one on a saturday morning? major suckage…lol…

anywho…

…lata days
