One of the hardest things for me to do is explain myself and who I really am, since I'm still trying to figure this out. But I'll tell you what I've learned throughout my 13 years. Well I blow out the candles on St.Patrick's Day. And I always get these "NO WAY!" comments when I say that because I have red hair and I'm really Irish looking. 8th grade is just one big adjustment for me with my little group cut down to about half the size of what it once was. People still ask me why I don't hang out with the same people I hung out with last year. I just sorta shrug even though I feel like screaming "SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!" But that's really just the kind of person that I am. The girl across the room doing her work quietly without talking, the girl who says her prayers EVERY night before I go to bed, the girl who would NEVER settle for just any old guy, or the one who wouldn't ever say anything bad about someone with bad intentions. I'm not afraid to stand up for myself, or that I'm shy, but if there's one thing I hate more then anything and try to avoid more then anything it's drama. (Even though I haven't been in a full-blown fight since the 3rd grade) As much stuff that people can assume about me, there's just as many things that people could never guess about me. Like the fact that I hate being lonely, I have pretty bad trust issues that I'm just starting to get over, and I'm a selfconcious person with confidence...not cockey...confident. I know what you're thinking: "Wow, contradictive much??" But not really. You can be worried about the H-U-G-E zit o your chin while your talking to a guy but still think "Omygosh! He SOOOO likes me!" Getting it now? When I'm with my friends, I'm a HUGE spaz, very inmature, incredibley talkative, and maybe even a little judgemental. The friends I have now will be the friends I have 20 years from now (Anne R, Jess B, Haley D, Olivia L, Morgan D, Isabelle R) Even though he won't read this just wanna say that like my best friend is quite sick. He's kind of like my doctor becuse out of all my wonderful friends he gives me the best advice and is most definitley the #1 person to make me laugh on the days where I would just break down and cry if my locker won't open. I haven't had many boyfriends. I've been with 2 guys (who I'd really rather not even think about) but that might be because pretty much every guy that is important to me is just a great fried...and that is all I could EVER imagine them being. I'm going to shutup now because it isnt like anybody is going to even read this but if you did then good for you!!! xoxoxoxoMeghan Patricia
