I think AS is god and love my powerbook and am addicted to DC.

The single gal went to catholic school and messed around with a girl or two.

Thanks for cheering me up today. 🙂

Thanks for cheering me up today.

I’m thinking.. perhaps I should start a “100 Things” about my friends page… hmmm

100: I am born and raised in FR. There is a thin line between my loyalty and disgust for the city.

99. i am portuguese, spanish, french, german, czechloslavakian and native american, but I only really identify with my portuguese heritage.

98. I loved college. In fact i love to learn in general. cum laude baby!

97. documentaries are essential to my wellbeing.

96. I love learning about other cultures, and particularly their religious beliefs.

95. i am intrigued by learning about the origins of different religions, the way they have changed throughout the years, and the secrets withheld from modern day society.

94. i love jazz and blues music.

93. I also love rap music, even when it is misogynistic and disgusting.

92. I would marry common.

91. Def Poetry Jam is Godsend. some poems give me chills, no matter how often i watch them.

90. I own all 13 “roots” tapes and think it is the responsibility for every Caucasian person to watch them all!

89. I am ashamed of my heritage when i watch roots.

88. i am tolerant of many differences in people, but i can not overlook racism.

87. I feel that it is necessary to say something whenever i hear someone make a racist comment.

86. i love people who are eclectic.

85. i am way attracted to men with dark features

84. I tend to be more attracted to people who have a dominant culture, aside from just being really white. lol sorry

83. I love men with confidence.

82. i am forever looking for people to teach me something and not just agree with everything i say.

81. i like to debate, and if it weren’t for my morals, i would be a great lawyer.

80. did i mention i almost always think im right?

79. my parents met when they were 19, were engaged after 4 months and are now on vacation celebrating 33 years of marriage.

78. my parents treat each other as equals, and make every important decision together. they also share all the chores. I want that.

77. when my dad sat me down at 15 to give me the sex talk…he told me “okay, don’t believe everything a guy tells you. There are a lot of guys out there who just want one thing, and when they tell you they love you for the first time, while they are attempting to take your pants off, dump them!” I love him for having the courage to have that awkward conversation with me.

76. i take my dad out to have drinks with me and my friends sometimes, because he is that cool.

75. but he is a teacher, so he loves to hear himself talk

74. my mother is also a teacher, but much less arrogant.

73. my mother taught me the meaning of being a strong female, but being compassionate at the same time.

72. i have 2 nephews that i would die a million times for

71. family is ultra important

70. i cried the first time my oldest nephew said “auntie.”

69. I have been working with kids since i was 17.

68. i love kids, but im not sure i want to have my own.

67. i may just spoil my nephews rotten forever and ever and maintain my freedom

66. when i was growing up, i became aware at a fairly young age that i was blessed financially and decided that it was only fair that i try to help others who weren’t.

65. so i became a social worker.

64. now i wonder if i am really helping people or not.

63. my job used to make me cry a lot.

62. i have only removed children from their parents once, and i cried for days about it.

61. i hate when people think that social workers are mean people when all we really want is to help people.

60. okay, so there are quite a few bitches that i work with, but lets face it, nobody becomes a social worker for the salary.

59. i have severe issues with commitment.

58. i was almost engaged at 17 and then decided i would resent the guy forever if i didn’t live my life and explore other possibilities, so i bailed.

57. he didn’t want me to go to college.

56. that was the best decision i ever made.

55. Since then i have had numerous relationships? none that have last over 2 1/2 months.

55. i get bored quickly.

54. my expectations are very high, probably because of my parents

53. and because i have seen too many people be miserable in their relationships because they overlook too many things

52. i have only made myself emotionally available for one man, and he broke my heart

51. twice.

50. now i hate being left that vulnerable.

49. so i often don’t become intimate with people i really have feelings for.

48. right now i am freaking out because me and my close friend “a” kissed last weekend.

47. we’ve been friends for 6 years.

46. i’ve had feelings for him for 2 years and wrote him a letter last year to tell him.

45. he didn’t want to initiate anything at that time. i was bummed.

44. but then now, a year later, he kisses me and tells me he “wanted to make sure i wasn’t one of your little phases.”

43. I love and hate that he knows me so well.

42. so we made a decision to try dating, and just take things slow.

41. but i have been bugging out since it happened.

40 does anyone know what it is like to have an anxiety attack for 4 days straight? im going to give myself an ulcer.

39. I have consumed a ridiculous amount of TUms over this whole ordeal.

38. the funny thing is, i am scared of every possible outcome.

37. i am scared that he will change his mind and we will go back to being just friends

36. and im even more scared that it will work and i will be in a “commitment.”

35. Hi! Have you noticed i overanalyze everything!

34, That is however what makes me an excellent chess player.

33. i love men that are musically talented, especially if they can freestyle.

32. did i mention that he freestyles?

31. did i mention that i do too?

30. i cant wait for football season to begin.

29. i love that my dad has had the patience to teach me the game over the past 4 years.

28. who am i kidding, it just gives him an opportunity to teach.

27. plus he has no sons, so it makes him happy that i enjoy the game.

26. i am one of the best friends that a person could ask for.

25. and i take extreme pride in that.

24. i can be demanding sometimes, but i never demand more that i give.

23. i think the key to life is balance.

22. I love weed.

21. but munchies make me gain weight.

20. one more hour and 36 minutes until i’m on vaca.

19. i live like a total bachelor.

18. i never grocery shop…..did i mention i live next door to my parents and eat their food all the time?

17. i like to give my friends reiki when they need it.

16. reiki is a form of hands on healing.

15. when someone hurts me, my immediate reaction is anger, but then i cry.

14. I can not stomach selfish people.

13. i have a close friend named “K” who makes me laugh until i’m on the verge of peeing all over myself.

12. i love useless information.

11. the only thing i remember from astronomy (which k and i took together and she did some of her best sleeping in it)is that the sun is 40 x’s bigger than the moon, but the moon is 40 x’s closer to earth than the sun, and that’s why they appear to be the same size, and a perfect eclipse is possible.

10. i went to catholic school for 8 years, and then to a crazy public high school, where a riot broke out in my first week.

9. i liked the crazy high school better.

8. I work really well with teenage punks, who everyone else wants to smack.

7. i messed around with a girl (or two) when i was in college, and i have no regrets.

6. i have found that we regret more in life that we don’t do, than what we do.

5. “courage is not the absence of fear, it is the presence of fear, with the willingness to move forward.”

4. i am a very honest person, and feel very guilty when i have to lie to someone.

3. i am very spiritual but do not attend mass regularly.

2. i want to travel to africa, portugal, tibet, brazil, puerto rico and a million other countries through out my lifetime.

1. if i won the lottery today…………..and never had to worry about the money, I would take in ridiculous amounts of teenage foster kids, go to college for my masters and eventually a doctorate in whatever i wanted, even if it would
be considered totally useless, and travel everywhere.
