I reject your reality and substitute my own...

About Me

I'm honest, straightforward and open-minded.It hurts me inside when I meet people who don't know how to form their own opinions (especially on the big 2 taboos...yes, politics and religion). If you are planning on voting in the primaries or the presidential election in 2008, please don't just vote for who your parents are voting for and say, "that's just the way I was raised." You may as well just be saying "that's just the way I was brainwashed and I am just another conformist sheep." As much as it is your right as a U.S. citizen to vote...it's your duty to actually take time out to educate yourself on the candidates' platforms and make an informed decision as to who that vote goes to. Seriously, the future is in our hands.I: probably trick myself into making everything harder than it has to be, stay home many saturday nights with the intention of studying but end up playing the sims or watching reruns of the xfiles that i've already seen eighty times and probably own on VHS or watching the same mythbusters i've seen seven times that week, am clumsy and get hurt a lot, am apparently just a pretend hopeless romantic, am not easily grossed out and can prove this just through the company i have kept the past few years, recently realized the majority of my friends list is comprised of people i met through working security or through people i met working security, like shows when i can be convinced to leave the house and get drunk, love my friends but have become more of that sober homebody than that drunk that wakes up the next morning and cant remember how she got home, get a little too hyper sometimes at the most inappropriate and random times, am often too motherly for my own good, chew my fingernails way too much, hate drama more than i hate anything else, hate boxcarts at big stores because i'm deathly afraid they will run me over (it didnt help that i watched a woman get hit with one at kmart when i was in middle school), wish i had a working bike because there are a lot of great places to ride up here in Bemidji, need to meet more people around here before I become a really weird hermit cat lady, dont know what else to add to this list.
