I spend too much money on things that I don't need. I hate to clean and I will never be one of those suzy homemaker types and still be me. I do like to cook but don't very often because of the aftermath (the whole aversion to cleaning thing) I am quite the good cook when I try (so I have been told.) I am a teacher. But I still feel like I am playing teacher and can't believe someone put me in a position in which I mold a part of their futures. Despite what we thought when we were in school, teachers do have lives outside of school! I dress up and wear low cut shirts and red lipstick when I am not at work. I get cranky when I am tired. I get cranky when I am hungry. If I am tired and hungry someone better feed me and get me coffee or get out of my way. My class learned that I need coffee to function within the first month of school. I love shoes. But hate what they do to my poor blistered feet. I have at least 2 pairs of shoes with me at work any given day. I try to be a good person but fall short. I want to be a better person but don't take criticism well. I am a good friend but a terrible listener. I am great with faces but terrible with names. I waste enormous amounts of time watching TV and even more time on reading. I am emotional. I cry. A lot. But I laugh more. I am lazy. I procrastinate. I thrive under stress. I get overwhelmed, cry and then do what I need to do. Usually without much help. I love to act like an idiot and have fun with my class but few adults ever see that side of me. And that is too bad because I am fun! I care what people think but I don't give a damn. I am neurotic. I love to take photographs, especially of kids. I am lucky more than talented when it comes to the camera. I like to have my picture taken but only on my terms. I am bossy. And sarcastic. And loud. But I am sincere and try my best to be honest. I can lie on the spot. So well that it scares me. Shopping fixes a bad day. What I am wearing affects my mood. I want to be spoiled. But I am not a spoiled brat. I don't take dissapointment well. But I am working on that. I love my mom. I sound like her, look like her, and shop like her.I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. I am judgemental and I gossip. But I can keep a secret if you need me to. I love to people watch. I am a flake but I'll be there when it matters. I hate to be kept waiting. Your time is not more important than mine. I am a hypocrite. I hate when people are late, but I may be late myself. I just recently started workin out. I am proud of my newer, slimmer, stronger body but that doesnt make me arrogant or shallow. I worked for it. I love In&Out. I notice calories but eat em anyways. Thats what the treadmill is for. I am a clutz. I trip over dust.But I can run or hike in 4 inch heels. I love to get dressed up but I am the most comfortable in old jeans and a tank top. I wear high heels when I sit around the house. Sometimes when I cook I wear them. On bad days, cute shoes make me feel better. I'll do anything for a friend. I just want to be appreciated. I hate to feel like I am taken for granted. When I get bored I change my hair. I may be a brunette, blonde and redhead all in one year. I have a twin sister. We look nothing alike. More and more each day I see that the things that my family does that annoy me the most, I do too. I love people but crowds annoy me. Except at Christmas. I am a little bit different everyday but I am exactly the same. Some people think that I live an average life and see it as a bad thing. Whatever. I am not average. I am me. Who ever that is.
