future girl

[size=1]I'm in between 4'11 and 5 ft even. When I was younger I was the tallest girl in my class, I have my pictures of me as a seven year old and I look so much bigger and my legs go on forever... for a seven year old, anyway. Then I got to fifth grade and I pretty much stopped growing length wise. I like being short because it's one of those things that just automatically makes you cute so yea.[/size]

[size=1]My Spring semester ends this Wednesday with my last final, but I'm taking summer classes as well which start May 9th. I'll be done before the end of July though so I'll have all of August off at which time I plan to go to Chicago for approximately ten days. I don't really do anything at home so I figured I might as well go to school. Not to mention I get a plethora of financial aid and there are so many few occassions in life where you get free money.[/size]

[size=1]I have an age limit of about four years up and two years down. Music is very important to me and I have to be able to respect the bands you're into. Not necesserily like them, just respect. I don't date men born in a Hispanic country or raised in an entirely Hispanic family even though I am Hispanic. They tend to be ********, or become ******** once you marry them. I realize it's a huge stereotype but I have my reasons. I lean toward the blonde hair+blue eyes type of man, even though it really doesn't matter if you're nice enough. I don't date men shorter than me because I'm 4'11 and if you're shorter than me you're probably a six year old. I don't date men that weigh less than me because then I'd feel fat and that's not cool. I mean, I don't weigh that much but those wafe hipster kids are pretty anorexic looking and I don't want people to think I'm starving him or anything. I like guys that are nice to their siblings, especially younger ones. If you're really amazing I could get over most of this, but if I'm basing it all on first impressions then no.[/size]

[size=1]I don't use public restrooms. I've trained my bladder to hold it until I get home or to a friend's house who's bathroom I would consider safe. I've been known to hold it for upto 16 hours just because toilets are a scary thing. You could get all sorts of diseases from a toilet seat and that balancing act we girls do just doesn't feel safe enough to me. The only time I go into a public restroom is when I have my period and that's only to change my sanitary pad because you know, I like to be sanitary. That, thank GOD, does not require me to sit down. I usually use the handicap stall because it's pretty spacious, so yea.[/size]

[size=1]Arthur is kick ***. I still watch it. I've been watching PBS all my life. I didn't have cable when I grew up so I pretty much stuck to channel 2. I myself like the British and Irish shows. One of my favorites was called [b]Bally Kiss Angel[/b]. I was also a big fan of [b]Globe Trekker[/b]. They have some pretty spiffy documentaries, they do a really good job of importing foreign shows and movies. It's underrated, PBS has always been cool.[/size]

[QUOTE=MistressRoxie][color=#9933ff] future girl mentioned attendance, which reminds me of something else at my school which makes it tougher to cut classes. If you have more than TEN unexcused absences from school (per year), they have this big thing where they call in your parents and stuff, and you either get something like academic probation, or you loose all credits for your classes (I've never had it happen to me). If you have more than 10 unexcused absences for a class, you get academic probation or something like that.[/color][/QUOTE] [size=1]My schools have always said the same thing. According to my highschool if you had more than 10 unexcused absenses you weren't allowed to graduate. I had 47 and I graduated with no real problems. Bunch of bluffers. I managed to rarely go to school and mantain a 3.5 gpa which is pretty impressive if I do say so myself. Take that public education system!!!!!!!!!![/size]

[size=1]When I was younger I used to spend a lot of time looking through those Baby Name Books. Now I've gotten into the habit of not giving my principle character a name if it's a short story. I find them hard to incorperate, it just flows more naturally if I can refer to them as he, she, I, etc etc. In longer stories I usually make something up because twenty chapters of he, she or I can get pretty confusing. I have a notebook with names that have stuck in my mind, a couple I've made up and so on. Ideas come to me spontaneously and usually when there's nothing to jot them down on. I pretty much have to stay there and write it all down the moment it comes to mind. It won't be as good otherwise, in my oppinion. I have no set methods, it's pretty much type as it comes. I usually fill in names after I'm done.[/size]

[size=1]I skipped school an insane amount, sometimes my mom knew, sometimes she didn't. Sometime she encouraged it. One morning she didn't want to get up to take me so she goes, "Are you sure you're not sick?" Anyway, most of the time I'd just stay home and sleep in. On the couple of occasions that I did it behind my mom's back I went to the beach or anywhere really with my friends. That's always nice. I have an attendance problem.[/size]

[size=1]How can you even compare Green Day, a band that's been around for a pretty long time, to My Chemical Romance who just hit the scene a couple of months ago. I mean people have grown up on Green Day and although they're not what they were back in the day they've had an impact on music that My Chemical Romance hasn't been around long enough to have on anything. Just because their latest isn't their greatest doesn't make everything they've done before obsolete so that they're being compared to something completely new. The music style isn't even the same. This comparison just makes no sense at all. I'm not saying My Chemical Romance sucks, I'm saying that you can't compare My Chemical Romance and Green Day.[/size]

[size=1]About a week ago I finished [b]The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists[/b] by Gideon Defoe. It's a very good book. It has this very nice silly wit about it and I was literally cracking up out loud at how absurdly he worked his details in. One of the things I love most about the books is that it's littered with footnotes on things that don't really have much to do with whatever's at hand. After I finished that I began reading [b]Vamped[/b] by David Sosnowski. It's a vampire book, but it doesn't employ all the typical vampire stereotypes. As odd as it sounds, it humanizes what is it to be a vampire. It's not all sex and darkness. It's pretty funny and it has a happy ending with no double metaphors :) I'll be starting something new this week, but I haven't quite decided what yet.[/size]

[size=1]My ultimate childhood career goal was secret assasin/spy. I watched La Femme Nikita at an early age and was enthralled at the idea of shooting people for money, life on the run, risk risk risk. I eventually gave up on that dream and now I want to be a writer. What a boring progression :( [/size]

[size=1]I always thought the Boogie Monster and the Cookie Monster were brothers. It seemed like a logical conclusion in my head... Anyway, I doubt any five year old is going to put down the chocolate chip and start snacking on celery sticks just because the Veggie Monster does it. That's ridiculous, not to mention how sad it is that people are openly admitting what a huge influence tv is on their children. I'd hope that my kids eating habits [and other stuff too] were inflicted by me and not some blue haired maniac.[/size]

[size=1]I think, quite honestly, that most girls make themselves out to be some ancient enigma that nobody ever gets right. There's too much hype revolving around the female psyche. My advice is keep your dick in your pants and everything else is forgivable. There's that basic concept of respect that applies to all humans. Most women are very easily satisfied, you only think they're not because you make them out to be a thousand times more complicated than they are. And just in case, I am a girl and a pretty one at that.[/size]

[size=1]I'm not sure if I believe in ghosts. In my family there have been lots of sightings and things that are extremely hard to explain. I could never tell if the people relaying the stories were suffering momentary bouts of insanity or what though. Whatever the case I can't rule out the possibility, too many strange things happen to too many different people for me to be able to say definately no. On a related issue, I read this really interesting article on ectoplasm which is "the visible substance believed to emanate from the body of a spiritualistic medium during communication with the dead" or "an immaterial or ethereal substance, especially the transparent corporeal presence of a spirit or ghost." It can be found [URL=http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/12/warner.php]here[/URL]. [/size]

[size=1]I'm of the belief that I learned proper punctuation and grammar only to properly abuse it later on in life. I like to think that 's how a style is born, poetic liberties. I'm absent minded and I tend to do a very sloppy job of proof reading my writing. I have to come back to it several times to get it just right. With that said there are several times where proper grammar just doesn't fit the piece. I suppose what I mean is that it depends on the piece, the motivations behind it and your target reader.[/size]
