About Me


Hi! My name's Julie. What's yours?
Let's see. I finally decided it was time to change this "about me" stuffs. Well, to start you off, I'm 19, turning 20 in a few months, with a lot of dreams. My friends describe me, well differently :-D. I can be mean, off-the-wall, crazy, weird, shy, different depending on the people I meet (well, I say I'm shy but others disagree). Let's just say, I like to balance the yin and yang.
Partying and drinking are minute parts of my social scene. I rock red in the room (alliteration! lol). I love dipping snow-shaped cucumbers in salt and vinegar and putting honey mustard, fries, and sweet and sour sauce on my burgers. Black tea with milk and tapioca = addiction. I climb poles and fences, legally. I laugh when something is wrong to block the initial negative feelings (I laugh too much, especially with my ex-roommate). My socks say, "I have issues".
I'm a Manhattan fiend, wanting to explore every crevice in the borough. I have had a bum (literally!) for a stalker, but I love to help out the poor (Midnight Run and DDR Tsunami drive, a go-go, Pull Tab Drive on the side). People criticize me for not being fluent in Tagalog, but my Filipino teacher doesn't seem to think so. If you push the wrong buttons, Julie gets annoyed. Repetition is not a part of my vocabulary, but I do make up my own words many atimes, culminating in what would be its own language.
Your parents' initial reaction of me is, "Wow! Whatta nice girl!", in whatever language they may desire to employ with the aforementioned statement; hence, we can be friends 'til forever. You're going to be calling me 10 years from now to get your bones checked out, but you hit me up now to play a volleyball scrimmage or to kick around some. :-D
I'd love to write more but Fster limits my capabilites. I'll leave you with something my music teacher always said, "SMILE WITH YOUR EYES"!

Friends: Thanks

It's funny how we take our friends for granted sometimes.  The more that we know or come to know about them, there is often a separation between like and dislike.  At times, we are disappoin...
