Ten More Things About Me
Shut up, I'll do my Big Bang. Really, I will.
1. I have never been punished by my parents. Ever. Never been grounded (And didn't understand grounding for a while either), never been hit or spanked, never been sent to bed without food (When there was food to eat), never had my TV or computer or books taken away, nothing. It is understood though that should I ever miss class because I stayed up so late on the computer that I overslept then my computer will be taken away. I haven't yet though so it hasn't.
2. I grew up without any rules, really. When I was young enough to still want to go and play outside I had the rule of "be home by dark" but that was it. I didn't have to take a shower or brush my teeth or comb my hair or change my clothes if I didn't want to. I didn't curse for a long time only because I didn't want to. I had no bedtime and if I didn't want to go to school than me and Yussie stayed home and didn't go (This is part of why me and Yuss are missing huge gaps of schooling). I never had to clean my room or put away my things and pretty much got to do whatever I wanted.
3. Because of the lack of rules I had growing up I am still very... Stunted. I shower at night because I honestly will forget to shower all day. I set an alarm for 2200-2300 or so to remind me to shower, because sixteen years of only showering when you want to does not teach you to want to shower every day. I do, occasionally, forget to brush my hair in the morning. This doesn't happen real often though because my hair knots easily and I have to re-fix the bun I wear it in every morning so I really only forget that when I'm super tired or in a hurry. It's not unheard of for me to go two or three days in the same clothing simply because I forget to change (Because I can't set an alarm for that in the morning because all alarms in the morning make me think "wake up!").
4. Despite not being able to legally own a handgun in the state of Arizona for another month and a half or so (Holy crap! How is my birthday that soon?) I was the top marksman in my Security class four competitions in a row. Each competition was seventy-eighty people and each time I was number one in class right behind the instructors. I graduated right before the fifth competition or I know I would've had a fifth win.
5. I hate talking on the phone. Hate it. I mostly feel awkward and sit there silently because I can't really think of anything to say.
6. I have ADD and really cannot do only one thing at a time. I think that's part of why my Big Bang is fucking up so hard right now, because Mikhale's always tired or sleeping or not talking and no one else is ever updating LJ when I go to write. I usually surf my FList, read a couple of fics and talk to someone all at the same time. Because if I try to just read a single fic on its own with nothing else to do my brain will keep wandering and I will read the same three paragraphs nine fucking times and still have no idea what the hell was just said or done.
7. I photograph badly. I mean it, I really do. When I don't smile I look like I'm pissed off and when I do smile I look retarded because my entire top lip disappears and you can see the entire top row of my teeth and gums. In person it doesn't look so bad but on camera it looks like shit.
8. Despite having pretty low self-esteem I don't actually care about how I look much. I don't think I'm particularly pretty but I really and honestly don't care if I'm "pretty." I don't think that I'm smart or that I can draw or write well and I'm pretty convinced that people don't really like me but I could probably care only a little less if someone thinks I look "ugly."
9. I can handle just about any attack thrown at me. I grew up with a bi-polar self-medicating mother who liked to tell me I was worthless and never did anything and yell at me for not "helping out." Because of this I have low self-esteem but I can also laugh at random girls who try and "attack" me by calling me fat or ugly or a bitch or a cunt or something like that. And why is it that girls use words to attack appearance?
10. I love to read but have only read two and a half "real books" in the last five years or so. Good Omens by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman and Lonely Bones by whoever wrote it.

5. Same. Plus, you can't see the other person's face.
6. Let me know when you're writing. I'll spam you with something.
10. omg, I loved Lovely Bones. The same author wrote Lucky, a memoir that details how she was raped as a college freshman and what she went through, with school and the trial and everything else. Really hard to read, but man. It made me sob.
no subject
10. I think I've heard about that book. I'm gonna have to read it, I think.
no subject
10. It's worth the read. Scary as hell, but wow.
no subject
3. Same here. I usually remember to shower once my hair starts rivaling Snape's.
4. I'm not surprised.
7. YOu do realize I'm bringing a camera with me to WinCon, right?
9. *Cracks up* Remember when Jaime tried being all "I'm better than you"? I'll never forget the look on her face when she realized nothing she was saying was even making a dent in you.
no subject
7. Yes, and I will be hiding the whole friggen time.
9. Man. Jamie was retarded! Man she sucked hard.
BE ON MSN NOW.

6. You know, what? This makes me realize that I am very much the same way, if only maybe to a lesser degree. But seriously, I think it's mostly why I am always so last minute. When I decide to start being productive it's always too late at night, and I don't have the proper distractions to keep me working on the task at hand. It's pretty crazy, but I can't do anything if it's the only thing I am doing. I'm glad to know it's not just me, lol. And it ties with 10 too, I think. Which is why I haven't read many books either, and when I claim I like to read people don't believe me because of it. I do love reading, I just don't have the attention span for it most of the time.

6./10. They totally go hand in hand for me too, I just can't do one thing for that long.
no subject
5. right there with you. i used to be better at it, but the older i get the less i like it. it just feels weird and fake. i'd rather e-mail than talk on the phone.
6. tk has add. so did my ex husband. tk has a really hard time at school because of this (and other stuff). he loves to read but only likes comics (garfield, calvin & hobbes, x-men, etc) because they're easier for him to focus on. if you don't mind my asking, do you have to (or want to) take medication?
8. i feel the same way. i gave up on make-up a long time ago and i don't give a rat's ass about "style" or pretty shoes or whatever. my hair has been the same boring way since i was 16. and part me is like, "oh bummer, i'm fugly, dude," but the other part is, who cares? i've got more important stuff to do than care about how i look. like read or write fanfic! every morning when i walk out to the car i'm like, do i have on shoes? check. did i remember to put on pants? check. i win!
9. And why is it that girls use words to attack appearance?
that is a good question, my friend. cuz that's the easiest way to hurt most girls i guess.
also, congrats on getting a room for wincon. that's awesome! :-)

I've learned how to keep myself busy (For the most part) and a big part of it is background noise. Keeping a TV running or music on helps take up the "bored" parts of your brain with nothing to do.
8. Man, I don't wear make-up either. I used to, back when I was in full Goth mode but it was just too expensive to keep up and took too long to do on a daily basis.
9. Girls suck, yo.
And thank you!
