Born A Girl2007--0-3-T25: 1:3:-08:00My parents met in August of 1989. They fell for each other, hard, but there were complications. They were both just teens. My mother was a senior in high school, and my dad had just graduated and enlisted in the U.S. Army. My parents had a rendezvous embrace before my dad had a chance to go to basic training, and almost 9 months later, I was born! Despite the fact that my mother was never able to finish high school, she has never regretted her decision to become a teenage mother. My parents were wed on January 18th, 1990.
The year was 1990: rap had just begun to spring into action, synth pop and hair bands were at their worst and grunge started a revolutionary new chapter in the world of popular culture. I had no idea that I would even care about music at all, but fate does what it wants with us. After living two years with just me to take care of, my parents had another child, the best sister in the world, Kelli Rai. In 1994, my parents packed up their stuff and headed towards Kentucky, the state where my dad was stationed. We lived there happily for about a year or so until my father was transfered to Texas. We packed up and moved again.
While in Texas, I met people that have changed the course of my life. Just to name a few: Brittany Gile, Joshua Smith, Jessica Allison, Nancy Allison, Miss Esqueda. I even got a new sibling out of the move: my awesome little brother, Jim! The nights were hot, and the spirit of my youth roamed freely. Sadly, we were stationed to somewhere unthinkable: Germany. I was sad at first, but my family found out that the Allison household, our closest family friends, would be stationed not far from where we were for the 3 years we were supposed to be set there.
Germany was the place where I really grew. Being exposed to such a wonderfully off-beat culture than the one that I had been used to up until then was such a shock. I like to think that it was a shock for the best, though. Some of the people that I'll always remember from there are Jake Purdy, Shabron Dorsey, Marina Ledesma and the dear town of Schweinfurt! I've had the best of memories there that I wouldn't dare trade for anything in the world! The good times have never stopped rolling while I was there. It was honestly like magic.
So, we lived out our days in Germany and when they all evaporated up, we moved back to the United States and chose Alamosa, Colorado as our hometown. We've lived here for the last 6 years or so, and I'm a bit tired of seeing the same old place, day after day. So, I will be moving to Chicago, Illinois in the fall to go to college at DePaul University.
If you are ever in Chicago when I am there, hit me up and I'll totally set up dinner plans for us or something! It'll be a ton of fun!! You know you want to have dinner with a total stranger. I could be a that stranger! I'm not too creepy, but I am neurotic a little bit.
Lastly, I love to smile. Happiness is the only thing on my mind every single day. Normal men think of sex every seven seconds, but I'm the odd one out that can't get optimism out of his head every seven seconds. Don't believe me? Give me a chance to prove it to you. : )buzznet:user:id:422943http://www.buzznet.com/Copyright (c) 2005, Buzznet, Inc.ounceofwentzMadison SippleKristynI Can Draw!The AdvertisementsThe Perfect DayComic-Con 2008[the] Blackboard DecalsMy CausesPersonal LifeCooking With JohnMy FriendsRandomCamera WhoringFan StuffPrivateSee You Later, Elevatorbuzznet:user:entry:id:432220512008--0-9-T04: 1:4:-08:002008--0-9-T04: 1:4:-08:002008--0-9-T04: 1:4:-08:00ounceofwentz My eyes are still itchy, it's raining like hell and I've bought the wrong underwear the other day, so I'm stuck in briefs for the next week. -__-

Hey, shut up! Hey, shut up! (yeah)
So, I'm in my dorm room right now, and I'm adjusting (slowly, but surely) to college life. I think that they are trying way too hard to make this feel like high school, and it's annoying. Also, I have seen so much illegal drinking and drug abuse that I pretty much don't really know how to feel about it all at the moment.
I'm at peace with myself and that is all that matters to me at the current moment. I'm breathing, and I have a bag of candy corn at my side; what the hell can go wrong!? :D
Love and miss my Buzz-peeps. If you know my cell phone number, hit me up. If you don't, you probably should. Erm...
I'm gonna go now. I got to take a shower and brush my chompers.

There is a slump period it says that the average Virgo is going through during this period of time, but by the time the full moon comes around, luck, intensity, creativity and determination will be at it's highest.
Believe what you want about astrology, but I like to think that a good majority of it is true. I'm also a nut for my zodiac sign and tarot card readings.
I'm gonna be 18 soon. When asked at random, I still blurt out "15". It's so weird to think that time went by so quickly, but then again, it really isn't. Time is going by just for me, but for everyone. If you think about it, it moves exactly at the pace that it should, and everything happens the way it should.
Perhaps, I've gotten myself far too wrapped up in my magnetism studies or the belief that I can use astrology to my advantage.
Enjoy your days. And, if you can believe it, all the signs that I make up who I am (even the day September 21), all say that I have optimism.
Maybe I should worry less about what I read and worry more about what I do?
No more rambling from me for a little bit.

It's sort of like magnetism. If you can look into someone's pupil and see sparks, keep close to them. Determination often shows within the first 5 minutes of meeting someone. You get a special feeling when you are around them and think, "There is only one way for you, and it's up!"
I keep trying to find sparks in my eyes, but it's easier to ignore the sparks and get things done. So much easier.
