Brandi's Story
Strangely I normally have to have a gag to shut me up and I'm finding it very hard to talk today. Oh well... hope this explains things some?
I always wanted to be a super spy cool ninja totally smokin' rocker babe when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a brilliant and inspired but sadly going nowhere idea. As it turns out, they were right as I've got the grace of a drunk ox, can barely speak english let alone another language and yeah, I got lost in the funny looking looks department.
Describe your favorite way to relax or how do you blow off steam???? Hmmm... those are difficult. I blow off steam by ranting and raving and waving my arms in the air and if the situation is bad enough throw things, (Ok, I only think about throwing things now that I'm supposed to be grown up). And I still sing at the top of my lungs, or write to relax.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have lots and lots and lots of Dunkin Donuts coffee, my clothes on, and lots of music or audiobooks to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
Do I have a hero? Of course I do. Like most people I know I have several. One of them is my grandfather, he was just an amazing man who was always laughing and singing and stubbornly dealing with my stubbornness and still managed to love me. Another would be Ghandi. I would love to be able to peacefully resist in the face of adversity and unfairness, but alas, I never will because I'm an action type of person. Foxx Mulder, I want to be able to believe, that deeply, that passionately, and relentlessly. Joan Jett, don't ask, I've just always wanted to be her.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Shannon Zahornacky, because I miss the walking, talking, and comfort of having someone who mostly got me. And because she showed me the beginnings of what loyalty, friendship and family means.
My obsessions???? Oh no. Umm. The Dark/Were/Dream Hunter books, KEANU REEVES!, John Taylor (yes still), my friends and family, Historical books (even the cheesey romances) I love the look into a different life and the total appreciation for toilets after I'm done.... hmmm... not really obsessed with anything else, I think.
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel all of it and add on a den/office/spare room. My dream home would be very big, lots of rooms with a huge yard.
Having a kid is not only a life changing event, but a soul revealing one too I think. I always said I'd make a horrible parent, and in some ways I was, and still am. But I learned alot about myself through this journey. I do have patience, not all the time, but when it's really i...Expand for more
mportant I do. I can love and give more than I ever imagined I even had inside me. And that, my daughter's giggle still makes my whole day better.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 80% of it to charity, then spend the rest on travel, Katherine's college education and getting her set up afterward and someplace just for me.
My current age is 35. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be boring and going grey. I was so completely wrong as I finally remembered what my natural hair color is 'cause I finally grew it out.
My best friend would tell you I'm smart, funny, filled with hidden depths and quite shy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as a loud, obnoxious wretch.
Talk style it says, hmmm... I never had a style unless it was considered thrift store eccentric chic.... and now, well, now I actually buy colors that go together versus the ones that clash the loudest. I'm still a jeans, t-shirt and tennie's or boots girl (can't live without the steel toes) most of the time. But when I clean up I do make sure that even if I'm not knock 'em dead gorgeous, I'm still something very nice to see.
I share my home with 2 roommates, 4 cats, and 2 dogs, which I find annoying, loud, messy, entertaining, stressful and fun.
If I got one do-over, what would I do differently? Hmmm... there are so many silly things I would do over. Not things that would change my life but little embarrassing moments I could've lived without. Like believing Mike and calling Al after we drunkly made out one night (yep, that was akward), or how about not kissing David when I had the chance in high school (man, that was dumb), or maybe it was in not taking the chance and going to eat with Rob. Things that wouldn't really have changed much, but at the same time I've always wondered about.
In 10 years, I hope to be living in Ireland. I'm going to get there by hook or by crook, or by writing something good and getting money enough to move there and write all the time.
My oldest friend. Well, I would say it's Shannon, but she's not talking to me currently. We met in gym class in 7th grade. We clicked because neither of us could stand some of the people who thought they were better than us, because we were both outsiders, and because ... hmmm it was just a heart and soul thing... get your mind out of the gutter, not like THAT.
My first job was at Denny's, where I got paid almost nothing for almost no hours to be a hostess on the bar rush. What I remember most about it is drunk cowboys love to buy you food and flirt and walking out is sometimes the sweetest thing ever.
