On a Silly Girl
Here are some things you may not know about me. They are in the form of bragging or confession. I will let you decide which is which and judge me accordingly.
1. I know most of the words to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack.
2. I got married when I was 20.
3. I have a tattoo. It's small. It's on my back. It's a strawberry.
4. In high school I took a voluntary national math test (what a nerd), and got the highest score in the school with 101. My dear husband (the school smarty-pants) got 99.
5. My husband was my high school sweetheart.
6. I am a terrible housekeeper.
7. I still don't really know what I want to be when I grow up.
8. I drank all the milk.
9. When I was a kid, I was afraid of E.T. I sort of still am.
10. I can't whistle.

What I'd like to know is this: Why is being a "good housekeeper" so goll-danged important? I resent that being held over my head all these years ... it makes me belligerent. Maggie ... please take that off your list ... it's really not important. Really ... it's not. I promise. If you can learn that earlier than I did you will be much better off. Housekeeping is an oppressive scourge laid upon our backs by Pharoah. I just don't know who Pharoah is yet. When I do, I'll seek him out and moidoirize 'im.
It's okay, I don't really mind being a terrible housekeeper, once I realized it. It was worse trying to be a good housekeeper and failing. My house doesn't have bugs, so I'm okay. My goal is now that if a clean freak comes to my house, I don't need her to be satisfied, but if she's not grossed out, I'm okay.
Gross, okay I may have to amend "terrible" to read "kind of bad" or "not great, but better than some".
You were afraid of e.t.? Hm.
Well, wait a minute -- you must have been about five when that movie came out. So, that's okay.
I am very afraid of ET, I am 24 years old. I'll admit it. Thing is freaky!
