October 21, 1976

Part 2: The Family

How would you describe your family?
A team I am on because they had to let me. We talk once every other month or so. I am the black sheep. After I met my birth parents I became jealous of their closeness with their own kids, but it’s too late for any of that.

Are your parents married?
Yes.

Siblings or an only child?
One older brother, one younger sister from the family I grew up with, and 5 others I have just been getting to know by blood.

Which parent do you get along with best?
My dad. He’s a  big dork and much easier on me.

What do you fight about?
My mother’s kind of a jerk and very stubborn. She talks too much smack about me and what I am doing. For a while it was that I would never be anyone, now it’s that my education is too expensive.

Two.

Yes.–things are finally coming together.

Do you live life to the fullest?
Always. It’s not hard

Do you have any piercings besides your ears?
Not anymore but that’s with 8 retired.

Describe your hair:
Chin length bob which is brown and blonde with bangs across my brow.

Whatever I feel like. But always tinted moisturizer and a tiny bit of blush and sometimes tinted lips. I am a paranoid girl when it comes to aging and I have beat the odds. Not one wrinkle anywhere at 31.

Jeans and knit shirts and MBT sneakers. That will change once Spring/Summer hits. They I turn uber cute.

Part 6: The Past

Were you a strange child?
I was ugly and looked like a boy and liked playing with them better than girls. And I read a lot.

spin around in circles until I was so dizzy that I fell. And I did make a minor career out of lying as a kid. I don’t do that anymore, even at my peril.

Do you have the same friends?
They aren’t close anymore, but that’s because a bunch are knocked up.

Being adopted sucks. Surgeries suck, but you get over them. There was more damage to me done with the former than the latter.

Yes, but sometimes it was due to the question above. Logistically with every surgery but I don’t look at things like that.

Yes, I was an ugly teenager with bad self esteem who thought it would never end. Then I had surgery and learned that depression for me was a form of laziness. Now I feel better and am doing things.
