Five contradictions about me:

1. I’m known as the “evil overlord” among my friends. I’m also the mom. (Wait, is that a contradiction?) Well in any case, I’m also kind of known for being “cute” and a sweetheart––alas.

2. I’m bold and blunt and daring, but I don’t like to offend, I’m extremely diplomatic (dreamed of working in international relations, in fact), and when it comes to speaking up about my needs I “need to grow a spine.”

3. I get annoyed when people expect me to fix their problems, but I love helping people. When people complain to me, it’s hard for me to be sympathetic without giving suggestions and ideas. I am empathetic; I just have to try and find an answer, too.

4. I love to read. I love to write. And yet, I have difficulty finishing my reading and my papers. (Surprise, surprise!)

5. I’m persistent, but I’m lazy.

I tag…YOU!

But also, I’ve been meaning to blog since DECEMBER. Yeesh. I need to get back into the habit!

My news, starting with winter break: I broke up with Scott, I worked at the nursing home throughout break (including New Calendar Christmas day!), I came back to school, I made better friends with Sara and Chris, I made new friends from IIT-the-landlord-school, I became utterly addicted to Doctor Who, I’ve been working waaay too much at the pool, I’ve been trying to do work-study sometimes and not getting there nearly as often as I mean to, I’ve gotten a third job babysitting two days a week, I’ve developed an obsession with cardigan sweaters, I’m having roommate issues in the sense that I’m too nonconfrontational and I spent so much time in Sara’s room because of minor awkwardness that it turned into major awkwardness, I got to be a guest cohost on a campus radio show, I’m playing Helena in our abridged Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I made the friendly campus coffeeshop man an effigy doll with pink yarn innards so he could stab it and scare away the customers he doesn’t like.

Whoo-ey.
