I have to write a personal statement for my law school app. Wtf am I supposed to say? I can write the shit out of an essay, but a whole 2 pages dedicated to bragging about myself? Not my cup of tea..
Spaghetti, garlic bread, and a yet to be decided upon dessert.

Manchester United Flag.
For it being only a couple of weeks, I’m a pretty damn good girlfriend. :) lol
Boredom, wanted to see if I could commit to it, but mostly boredom.
And the whole committing thing.. yeah, failed. Skipped a few days.. oh well :)
Wallet
Keys, complete with Batman and Robin lanyard
Cell phone
Gum
Disposable Camera
Pen
Random receipts/paper to write on
Phone Charger
That’s the usual :)
Attention. Haha.
I’m only half serious there. I crave attention, it’s true, but I crave it through laughter rather then just any type. I LOVE to make people laugh, and if given the chance I LOVE to have people listen to me tell my stories and make them laugh. My dream profession is to be a stand up comedian, and I think this is the closest I’ll ever get, so I crave it and when I get it I enjoy every second of it :)
And also pancakes.
This one is hard for me, actually. I recently moved 3 hours away from everything and everyone I knew so I’m starting to find out who my real friends are and who aren’t. I’m also starting to see whose bullshit I can put up with and whose I can’t.
Also, I’ve found it’s hard for me to keep friends for a long time. I had my high school friends, then my Otay friends, then my Plaza friends, and now I’m onto my Best Buy friends.. I only keep like one or two when I move onto the “new” group. Aly and Lorna from high school. Gen and Richie from Otay. Risha from Plaza. I mean, I could call up to kick it with anyone I knew during those times and I’m sure they’d be down, but I only make effort to keep in constant contact with a few.
I love my friends, they helped make me what I am today, but I don’t think I’m the best friend keeper. I don’t know if it’s because I get bored, or if I just haven’t found genuine friends, or even if I judge too harshly and can’t keep friends.. I dunno. Like I said though, I love them and I’m glad I have them in my life.
Mom and Dad,
There’s not much I’d like to say you together, but separately I could say a lot..
Mom: Thank you. You have your issues, we all know this, but that’s what makes you, you. It’s too much fun in our household to be considered a family, I swear. We laugh together more than any other family I have met and it’s because of you. You tell it to us like it is when we need to hear it, and you tell us what we need to hear when were not ready for the truth, and you always know which to tell. You’re weird, but I think I’m supposed to think that, you’re my mom! But I love it, and I love you.
Dad: Too much to say.. Yes, I love you, your my dad, but I don’t respect you much. I get a lot of my habits from you, thank you for those, but there’s some things you’ve done I’m not too sure about.. I don’t understand your morals, or if you have any. I get that you love us, but I feel like you’ve never tried to learn how to show it better. I don’t forgive you for what you did to my mom and siblings, but your complete silence on the whole issue makes me think you didn’t care how we felt.. There’s too much that will never get said between you and us. They say time heals all wounds, and it helps, I agree, but it only takes but a second to remember what I saw and heard.
A lot of stuff, and yet nothing really..
I’m different because the way I seem on the outside is the complete opposite as to how I actually am. I have a calm, cool, collected sense about me, but deep down I’m really just in an emotional panic all the time. I’m different because I may seem cold and sarcastic, but I will do the thankless, nameless jobs to make sure people are happy, especially those I care about. I’m different because my life experiences have made me grow up a lot sooner than those around me.
And while all this is true, I don’t think I’m unique. I’m sure there are other people out there just like that.
When they say everyone is special, they’re really saying no one is..
