  • I hold grudges for long periods of time... :p

  • I like to plan things, and kinda be in control of things

Now I just sound bratty, but continuing:

  • Typically all my friends are close friends, so I dont have many friends who I don't talk to a lot
  • People who are arrogant and self-centered piss me off so much
  • I do really embarassing things a lot (not on purpose, it just happens)
  • I'm kind of a different person once you really meet me/get to know me
  • Love Christmas, and summer vacation omg :)

  • Mom- thank you for putting up with me and being patient. I know we pissed the hell out of each other a lot of times, but thank you for not giving up on me despite your nature. I know I don't say it enough, but I am eternally indebted to you for raising me in such a way that I can face fears, and be strong when its so hard to be.
  • Veronica- for being weird with me and at some times, being the one person I can trust completely, listening to me rant about random stuff
  • Maggie Z- for dealing with me and my pain the ass attitude. I know how hard it must be to still be my friend sometimes, but you still put up with me and keep giving me countless chances and favors
  • Rachel- for being the sweetest person ever; thank you for having such a good heart and being so kind.
