1. i want to be a rock star so bad it hurts sometimes 2. if my husband dosent tell me he loves me 10x a day, i forget its true 3. when i'm parenting my son, i'm also parenting my inner child. 4. on that same note, i'm jealous of him alot. 5. my husband is the only man i've ever trusted in my life. ever. 6. if someone isnt at the same level as i am mentally.. i have no patience for them. i will try and make them as healthy as i am. i cant deal with someone more messed up than i am. 7. i waste about 3 1/2 hours out of 8 every day at work. 8. i have to be right about everything. 9. when i write things, and i ask for someones opinion 9 times out of 10, i already know its good. i just need to hear it. 10. i love to act like a snob. the snobbier the words, the funnier it is to me. but i dont believe half the things i say 11. i want to go to school so i can council youth sex offenders. 12. i get uber jealous when my hub watches porn 13. i kind of want a girlfriend. but i consider myself straight. 14. there are 2 versions of me if you know me. the most loving person you've ever met in your life, or the most horrible evil mean person. 15. i HATE suprises if i know ones comming. 16. the unknown terrifies me. 17. revenge is my favorite taste. till after its over and i feel bad. 18. i'm tiny. 5'3'' 125 lbs. i look so little. no one knows whats comming when i get into a physical fight 19. i graduated my senior year 6 months early and 7 months pregnant. still got to walk with my class 20. i've never ever put anything up my nose. drugs are baaaad 21. i've died twice. 22. i wish i could get a tummy tuck 23. even though i turn 21 in a week, i feel like i'm turning 35 24. i dont ever drink soda 25. i'm obsessed with stars. i have 6 tattooed on me so far.
"And forget this wasted year, these wasted years
Devoted friends, they disappear And I'm sorry about the phone call and needing you Some decisions you don't make I guess it's just like breathing and not wanting to There are some things you can't fake I guess that it's typical To cling to memories you'll never get back again And to sort through old photographs Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know" -Happy Birthday to Me I tried to pass for nothing but my dreams gave me away Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? Sometimes I find its easy to be myself. Sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else. So much to say so much to say so much to say.. |

25 sounds like a lot of things to think of but I'll give it a whirl.
1. I haven't been diagnosed with BPD, nor have I talked to anyone professionally about it, but am almost dead sure I have it. 2. I have 2 siamese cats. 3. I live with my boyfriend. 4. I'm divorced (surprise) 5. I am going to be 27 this month but because I look younger, people always guess I'm 21 or 22. 6. I am a licensed cosmetologist, but no longer working as one. 7. I'm going for my BS in engineering at a university. 8. I'm not really a blonde hehe 9. I want to have babies sooner than I will. 10. I think football is boring, and it actually makes me angry to watch it. 11. My mother died when I was 8. 12. My house burned down when I was 18. 13. I am an animal lover times a hundred, I've had everything from puppies to parrots, snakes and hermit crabs. 14. I like to watch hockey, but never alone. 15. I have a black shag carpet in my living room. 16. My Halloween decorations stay up all year. 17. I am a terrible housekeeper, unless I'm in a fit of rage in which case I can't stop cleaning. It's a good sign when this place is messy. 
18. I love horror movies. 19. I think people who like bad music are stupid and lazy and shallow. 20. I grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Fargo a few years ago. It's embarrassing when people ask me why because I have no answer. 21. I think I am a wonderful cook. 22. I like to give people the impression that I'm a very healthy person. 23. I'm allergic to newsprint. 24. I was didn't believe in purple, until recently because it didn't seem like a real color. And now I love purple, probably for the exact same reason. 25. I want to be cremated when I die. That wasn't so bad...

It's so much fun to read about all of you! Here goes for me:
1)Like most of us I am a walking contradiction. I think it's funny sometimes how some of my long-standing friends still hasn't figured this out yet. For example; I don't jog. Ever. Except for sometimes. lol I have my mind pretty well made up about something and then it's like a switch goes of and I just change it. 2)I hate filter coffee but I LOVE instant coffee. Real coffee is too bitter, and even in instant coffee I still need sugar and milk! 3)I am a pretty good swimmer and when I train in the pool people always ask me if I'm training for the olympics or something. 4)Part of the reason I wanted to marry my husband is because I thought it would make me fit in. 5)When I'm with my husband I never seem to fit in because we're so totally different. Sad, huh? Oh well at least I love him too so it's not just that but I still think it's sad how long it took me to figure it out. 6)Okay I know this is mean and probably not what anyone on here ever wants to hear but I kind of see my friends as disposable. Most people don't know because I truly work hard on my friendships and make sure that I make a big deal about their birthdays and things that are important to them( I am always the first to throw a party or suprise party, remember a special date etc.). Anyway to try and prevent this whole disposing thing I write down lists of people I mean to have in my life forever. Even more sad I have to write down lists of things I want to do with my life and what I like etc. too because otherwise I forget that as well! 7)My mother is my best friend and I am hers. 8)When I was in grade school I was in "gifted" classes but I've always been forgetful and it only gets worse with age. I lose my keys(to the point that I have to replace them, ALL the time etc.) 9) Remember a time when you thought boys were "yucky"? I never had one. LOVED them as long as I can remember. 10)Went to an all girls school for four years. Loved it and hated it(missed the boys, of course!) 11)Did homeschooling for 2 years(15-17). LOVED it! Strangely enough did not feel isolated at all during this time eventhough we moved to a different province from before right before we started. I made lifelong friends and went to 2 different proms with my friends as a date at that time. Just really enjoyed the fact that I got to meet people on my terms. Ie. when I was having a bad day I didn't have to leave the house. 12)I never went to my own prom because I didn't feel that I'd be welcome at anyone's table. Probably won't go to any reunions either for similar reason. 13)I think I'm a bit of a nudist at heart(although I guess not exactly in public), but I have HUGE issues with strip-clubs. Contra-what again? 14)I get paranoid and think I'm pregnant and take pregnancy tests all the time eventhough I have an IUD. 15)I get homesick a lot and then I utube stuff from my home country for hours. 16)You know how you sometimes say bad things to people because they deserve it but still feel bad about it after? I don't. It really makes me feel good to level things out. I hate it when people think that they're better than other people and I hate it when people think that they are not as good as other people. I build up the weak(I really take it personally when I see someone else being bullied) and I break down the strong and I never feel bad about it, in fact I obsess over how to do things different when I don't stand up to people. Ie. When I was 5 a teacher unfairly spanked me and if I saw her today I would still give her a piece of my mind and I'd really be upset after if she didn't cry(because I cried back then and I think it's only fair if she did too). For example I am still kind of shaking because I read a news article earlier about a guy getting a 12 month community service sentence and a fine for hitting someone that was taunting him by saying all these things to him. Friggin fair is fair. If you are mean on purpose you deserve a punch in the face, end of story! 17)Weird thing about my bullying obsession is that I was never really bullied myself (well I guess not by peers anyway). 18) I am the oldest of four kids. 19)Eversince I was little people complimented me on my voice all the time. 20)I hate it when people are constantly trying to help or correct me or other people. Huge pet-peeve. 21) My friends have told me that I'm a "single-hater". I don't understand when a womans' life doesn't revolve around a man or men. I don't like the idea of "girl's- or boy's night out". 22)My approach to gender differences is slightly archaic and I am sexist. I really do believe that men are better than women. A few of my friends are quite feminist too, can you immagine the tension sometimes? 23)I love the rain and I don't own an umbrella(and haven't for as long as I can remember). I have absolutely no issues with getting wet regardless of where I am heading. My hair is usually wet when I leave the house anyway(I was and wear). 24) I love telling stories and hearing other people's stories but beyond that don't really know how to have a normal conversation(I can talk about people but not things) eventhough I do have a really hard time shutting up. 25) I fall asleep in movies all the time because they bore me. Okay as usual I've said way tooo much... But when youre blinded by your pain

I'm sorry to hear you're a "single-hater." #21
Doesn't make me feel very good. I didn't join this forum to find out that I'm looked down on or even hated. Sorry to know that you think a woman only has worth if she has a man. |

Midnight soul I am going to reply to you privately. If anyone else feels offended please remember that "hatred" is usually only fear... if you need
me to explain this I will.
Really didn't mean to offend anyone but if it helps people are generally offended by my company and that is why most of my existense is spent semi-recluse. But when youre blinded by your pain
