Well, what can I say about myself?

I’m a 31-year old (as of November 2004) Filipina in Minnesota, married to a hippie with really nice parents. I have this website because I want my own little space on the Web and I’m not really looking to commercialize this or make it very public. The purpose of this website is mainly to amuse myself.

I have a few pictures I took of myself under “Me” then “Pics”; thank goodness for that swiveling LCD on my Optio 33L.  I will add more pictures, not taken by me, on another page below that...sometime...when I feel like doing it.

Useful things to know about me:  I don’t like winter, snow or extremely cold temperatures. I don’t like people who are too lazy to walk a few steps outside their front door to pick up their paper, and also those who don’t bother looking around on their porch before calling in to say they got missed.  I don’t like the type of people who make up the A-group in high school...shallow, self-centered, back-stabbing, spineless sluts. I don’t care how good their grades are, if they are one of those who can’t think of anything besides shopping, getting better things than what their friend/s just got, badmouthing friends who just bought something they can’t have, looking good, being cool, hanging out with the “right” people, going to all the parties, having a party, following each and every stupid trend...I don’t need them around me.

I don’t like pretending to like people, so if someone annoys me, it’s going to be very obvious just by looking at me.  I don’t like blowing up but I’ve been known to have quite a temper and I can hold my own if the need arises. I don’t like people who think they know everything when they keep acting more and more stupid everyday. I don’t like too much foul language. A few curses here and there is acceptable but if that’s all that’s in the person’s vocabulary, I don’t need to hear anything from him/her.  I don’t like ungrateful and demanding people, but it seems that a lot of kids are growing up that way...so much for giving them what you can, huh. I don’t like yelling...I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to do it...but sometimes it just has to be done.

I don’t like self-righteous people.  I don’t claim to be on the right side of things all the time. I try not to judge people by what they believe in or what they practise. I expect the same from everyone around me. Of course a lot of people disappoint me that way.  I also don’t like people who automatically assume they’re being persecuted because of their race when they’re just being constructively criticized.  Yes, so your ancestors were brought over to be slaves, but that was waaaaaaaaaay back when and you’re living a much better life that what they had.  I think some of my ancestors suffered too but you don’t see me pointing that out every chance I get and using that to get something I want but don’t really deserve, now do you?  I just want people to realize what’s here and now, and that there are a lot of things in this world that need a bit more understanding. Just because it’s the way you were raised doesn’t mean that it’s how everyone should be.  Let people be how they are...they were born to be something else, live with it.

I can’t stand rap or heavy metal...and the kind of jazz where they seem to be just banging on the piano with no direction. I don’t consider any of that music.  Everyone’s free to like or dislike what they want, so I don’t want to get any crap about my preferences. I promise not to beat the crap out of those who don’t like classical music.

I don’t conform a lot of times.  I am not one ot be part of a crowd. I don’t need a whole lot of friends around me. I believe it’s the quality, not the quantity.  If I have a handful that I know I can depend on anytime, then I have enough.  I don’t need a whole bunch of people who have to think alike all the time and do the same things and like the same fashion. I never was one to be dependent on my peers for approval.  I have been known not to keep in touch for the longest time, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care. It just means I’m not an emotionally dependent person.

People have described me as aloof and indifferent. Perhaps I am.  I only know that the way I am has so far shielded me from a lot of creeps out there. Back in college, a bunch of people did admit that they found me intimidating for some reason. I think that’s a good thing. I think that people treat you the way they think you want to be treated. If they think you look like an easy target, prepare to be victimized.

I like to think myself as being sensitive to other people’s needs...but I am in no position to tell whether or not I am. I like to think that I’m observant and that my guts can be depended on to tell me whether I should like a person or not. I haven’t been awfully wrong except a few times with past boyfriends.  Like most other people, it’s the thing that’s right in front of my face that I can’t see very clearly.

I speak my mind a lot of times.  Or if I don’t, my face just gets all sour, LOL. I am very transparent, I never was one to act like I am not bothered when I am. I’ve had people wonder why I don’t like them or why I don’t even try.  A lot of times I don’t really know why I dislike people the first time I meet them, but in time I do find out. And there’d been times when I told them exactly what I thought was wrong with them.

I look tame...I’m not. I’m not a total bitch, I don’t snap at people that easily. I have to be provoked for that to happen.

I don’t drive, I don’t look forward to learning. I think it’s an awfully big responsibility to own and drive a car. I abhor the thought of being responsible for the safety of other people on the road, people I don’t even know. I have gone way past that stage of life where the thought of driving gave me a thrill.  You can blame my dad for that.

I’m small...I’m one inch shy of 5 feet.  But I have a lot of knives. What my height has to do with my knives, I don’t know, but it sounded good.

If I think of anything else I want people to know about me, I’ll add it sometime...but don’t count on it.  I’ll probably be focusing on something else tomorrow.
