I miss the moments in which we lived, now we're just existing

About Me

For starters... my name is Brenda... but I like Bren, so feel free to call me that : )
As most everyone else out there, I'm guilty of being critical and judgemental. But I've learned from even looking in the mirror that appearances are more often than not, deceiving. Stop reading and take one look at one picture and tell me what kind of person I am. What kind of person do you think I would guess you to be? I rest my case.
I would say I'm really weird , but I suppose everyone is behind closed doors. My doors are left open. But if you REALLY think about it, no one is strange because everyone is different. There is no constant or definition of normal, so it's interesting how people feel they can classify things that fit no mold. That being said, please don't try to classify me or make a snap judgement.
I love driving fast and listening to the sweet sound of the VTEC kick in. Driving fast and singing loud are my 2 main ways of releasing my inner anger. I try to be nice to everyone, even when I'm pissed off beyond anything. Hence, the need to release it all somehow. And as a warning, I sing ALL THE TIME. It's my passion and I can't go very long without singing/air drumming/humming/dancing/whatever. It's subconscious. If it annoys you, well... deal with it. I'm sure something you do annoys me : )
I'm back to one job (in search of a different 2nd shortly) while living by myself in Gresham . It's small, but it's peaceful, and I love it. The variety of 2 jobs keeps me sane but McMenamins is pretty much terrible... so I finally quit! I love being around people but I prefer the nice ones - a human being can only take so much.
I'm missing my friends and family a lot right now - they mean the world to me . I moved away from the majority of them and have yet to step outside my "comfort zone" here in Oregon. I only embarrass myself, which happens easily and often as much as I try to avoid it.
I AM A NON SMOKER FOR LIFE and have no desire to be around it WHATSOEVER
I am a strong believer in old fashioned courtesy... like " PLEASE " and " THANK YOU ". I know, I must be crazy to think that there should be a level of politeness and courtesy amongst people who exclude "excuse me" and "I'm sorry" from their vocabulary.
I spend entirely too much time thinking about things that don't even need to be thought about in such depth. But in all reality, I overthink pretty much everything. No joke.
In my spare time, I like to snowboard, ride quads, play pool, go hot tubbing, browse the internet for cars, watch South Park and drink milkshakes. I clean when I'm bored but it's never very productive unless it comes to my car, which I love dearly despite our occasional differences. I love nice cars, big trucks, leather seats, and awesome sound. But, for being such a fan of cars, I know nothing about what's under the hood and I'll admit that.
I have very little respect for those who:
-Feel the need to put others down to make themselves feel better
-Have little respect for themselves/abuse their bodies
-Say one thing and do another
-Lie
-Will do anything to get attention
-Have a different face for every person they associate with

My Interests



MUSIC is my passion, too bad I can't play anything. I like action movies/movies in general, driving fast, the sound of VTEC, eating junk food, jumping on trampolines, staying up late, going to shows, writing, working, spending money on shoes, riding quads, playing pool, snowboarding, etc.

I LOVE my brothers!

I'd like to meet:

Awesome people

Music:

Aside from the obvious "emo", punk, screamo, and rock... I LOVE 90's dance music (yeah that's right) and some oldies... like the kind in jukeboxes at Burgerville... I don't much care for country or rap unless I'm in a sarcastic mood

Movies:

Donnie Darko, 10 things I Hate About You, Cruel Intentions, Billy Madison, Gladiator, The Butterfly Effect, Dodgeball, Starsky & Hutch, The Matrix, S.W.A.T., Signs, Unbreakable, SE7EN, The Ring, American Beauty, Bone Collector, Cast Away, 28 Days Later, Napoleon Dynamite, X-Men, Fantasia, The Fifth Element, The Haunting, Twister, Indiana Jones, Joy Ride, Romeo Must Die, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original), Final Destination (1&2), Happy Gilmore, Troy, Crash, Kill Bill (1&2), Just Friends, Wedding Crashers, etc... (I LOVE MOVIES... yeah)

Television:

The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, CSI, Smallville, and all that good stuff... you know. Not that I ever watch TV anymore but the occasional show is a nice break.

Books:

Anything that can hold my attention

Heroes:

My mom... :-D Yeah, my mom.

Give me your opinion!

So I did my taxes the other night and have over $500 coming to me... I'm overly frugal/cautious with my money already but I'm tempted to just blow a couple hundred of it on something fun.  I was ...

But those bridges are BEGGING to be burned

I'm done with McMenamins as of last Saturday.  Not a minute too soon.  No, it didn't end up being the dream job I'd made it seem in my head.  It blew hardcore.  I bussed more ...

Boredom/laundry night

Getting things figured out... kinda

So I put in my 2 weeks at McMenamin's today.  I know I'll miss a lot of the people there but as of today even, I don't really care.  There's nothing saying I can't stop by some other day and...

"Shutup you talk too much"

But it doesn't even begin to cover everything that's going on inside my head.  Nor does this. I miss my friends.  I'm forgetting who they are anymore. I miss my family more than they could k...
