Randoms Because I Can

Remember that one time I posted on all of my car troubles and how I needed to just get over myself and relax and know that everything is going be OK? Yeah that was nice. And then I woke up the next morning to a nice big parking ticket on my windshield.

I actually did laugh. You honestly cannot make this stuff up.

I feel like I need to tell you a little more about me. Before you think I'm a psychotic profane driven lush with no long term goals for herself. And because it's late/early and my ability to advise and sound wise beyond my years is just not up to par. So my dears, a list of things you should know before I reveal any more of my ridiculous life to you.

• I don't want to work at a sports bar forever. I'm actually graduating this coming spring, and I hope to end up in the publishing/editing/copy writing field...we'll see where this year leads me.
• I originally moved to New York as an au pair for an amazing Greek American family. If I ever refer to my two boys, I am not speaking of my main boyfriends, but rather the two boys I nannied for for a year. I am still absolutely in love with them. 
• I was not forced to leave Iowa - it was a peaceful departure. Though I willingly moved half the country away, my parents, two brothers (one older and one younger), and baby seester are still there, and still the biggest piece of my heart.
• I hate the color brown.
• I cannot function without having coffee in the morning. Every morning. No options.
• As blunt and obnoxious as I've let myself appear to be on through my posts, I actually strongly dislike confrontation. It makes me uncomfortable and anxious, and I'd rather avoid it all together. Except that I can't. And it would be a waste of a skill if I did, because I'm somehow incredibly gifted in the area.
• I don't eat meat off of bones. No T-bone steaks or wing nights for me. Gaross.
• Speaking of gaross, if I ever misspell something on here to the point of you questioning my grammar skills, I assure you it is on purpose. There is a squiggly red line thanks to spell check, and I like to ignore it when I feel I need to express myself beyond Webster's rules.
• Thanks to frequent all nighters throughout the semester and working in bars, I have quite an abnormal sleep schedule. Which is why I'm writing this at four in the morning.

And that is all for now. You really don't need to know some of this stuff, but you may start to wonder after my 17th shopping trip why none of the pieces I've purchased have been the putrid color of brown, or how on earth an English major could make such obvious spelling errors. And now I've broken the expectation that every post is going to be full of my insight, intelligent and thought provoking. I believe I mentioned it in my last post...I am only human.
