June 3, 2010 | life or something like it,me me me

I’m the girl whose bangs are too long and nail polish is chipped 75% of the time. I’m the girl who starts stripping the second she walks in the door – pants and bra off, leggings and vneck tee on. I’m more comfortable in a pair of old Nike Dunks than I am in heels, but I never fail to flat iron my hair even if I’m just staying in. I’m the least photogenic person ever and always end up making silly faces.

I know people and have acquaintances and friends, but keep my circle of close friends small. And I’m fiercely protective of them. Fair weather friends aren’t my scene and I don’t put up with bullshit.

I can run my mouth with the best of them and I am very opinionated, but I’ve learned to keep it in check. Most of the time… And I’ll be the first to admit that I’m kind of a snob. I know what I like, I know what’s good and I might be judging you for thinking otherwise. But I’ll be damned if I’m not one of the nicest and most real people you’ll ever meet.

I’m the girl who picks wine based on the prettiness of the names and labels. Most of my gadgets (MacBook, iPod, iPhone) are pink, but chances are you’ll rarely ever see me wearing the color. I love handmade and crafty things, but can’t do it myself for the life of me. I can quote Mean Girls almost word for word and do so on regular (and probably annoying) basis. I have stacks of books all over the place and can spend days holed up reading and be perfectly happy. I geek out over music and probably have the oddest collection you ever did see.

I believe pinky promises are still serious business, and that strawberry milkshakes are one of the best inventions ever. I could eat mac and cheese every day of the week, and think carbs are the WORST invention ever. I’m a sentimental kind of gal and can think of reasons to hold on to pretty much anything.

I wish more than anything I could pull off a half sleeve tattoo, but I just don’t think I’d look right. So I plan on getting several other tattoos and finding me a cute, tattooed boy instead. It’s a fair trade.

I’m the girl who gets nervous talking to new people and never know what to say for fear of sounding like an idiot. I constantly worry I’m bothering people so if I’m quiet, that’s probably why. But when I finally feel comfortable, I’d love nothing more than to sit down over drinks and talk forever.

In the past year and a half, I found myself and realized what I’m truly capable of. I’ve learned when to fight for something and when to let go. I’ve learned that sometimes when you think shit just can’t get any worse, it does. You just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep on.

Don’t let it make you hard. Let it make you stronger.

I have.

ohh I love this post!!! We have a lot of things in common too. When people first meet me I tend to be really quiet but once I get to know them and feel more comfortable you can’t get me to shut up! I might have to do something like this one day on my blog…
