Here’s a little bit about me.
As aforementioned, I’m 20 years and I live in Seattle WA. I’m in my third year of community college. I just like to learn. Bascially I took the classes I was interested in to learn and it ended up that I didn’t graduate on time. Luckily for me the classes I took were relevant to getting an AA. My long term goals are to be an orthodontist.
Lately I have been struggling with asserting myself. I must put off the image that I will take anything therefore people walk all over me. I made a pact with myself to become assertive and so far I haven’t had the chance to do so. Hopefully the image people see is not one that can be walked on.
I work at Starbucks somewhere in Seattle. I won’t say which one, but there are tons to choose from! It’s a lot of fun, but they have me doing menial tasks like taking the garbage out and cleaning this and that. I think the reason they have me do that is because I am willing to do anything, and they notice that. That’s a part of my assertiveness problems. I know it’s not my skill, because I am good at my job. Not to be self absorbed, but at my last job I was the best.
My parents are retired and a newspaper reporter. My mom was a teacher for 30 years before she retired and my dad is currently the associate editor of a paper. I won’t say which one, but he’s an excellent writer and photographer. My mom seemed to be a strict teacher. Needless to say at home you don’t want to mess with her.
I’d love to move out, but first I have two credit cards to pay off, stuff to buy and I need a job that gives me decent hours. Starbucks gives me around18. If I moved out, I’d live on my own. I think I’d do really well on my own. Don’t get my wrong, a roommate would be nice and fun, I just don’t want to rely on other people, or have to have a problem with them and not have anywhere to run.
My brother has ADHD. He drives me crazy. He’s almost 22 now. It seems like he does everything he can to manipulate me. I feel awful for him, because I’d rather live with him than be him.
I’m not a virgin, I lost in when I was 17 to my current boyfriend. I don’t regret it, because I really love him and plan on marrying him. We still struggle with trying to not have sex. It’s really hard, because when we were sexually active, we had sex A LOT, and good sex too. Every now and again we have sex but I swear that’s a biological thing. I think this because it’s always right after my period (the most fertile time of the month), like clock work. I still am very interested in sex though. I like to read about it etc.
My guilty pleasures are John Stamos, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Brad Pitt, David Schwimmer and the guy who works next door, Mike. I just enjoy once in a while to look at hot guys, although I love my boyfriend and find him more attractive.
In the spirit of not boring you, I’ll write more later. Please respong to my entry, I’d really appreciate it. Add my to your friends list and we can talk, it’ll be great.
