okay, sorry it took a while to respond. I've been kinda tired lately, and it's finals week, so I had to study for a while. bah.Yes! Schaumburg. It's my other home. I miss it so much there. Kenosha is such a small town, and I really don't fit in at all, it seems. You know how every town has their own little spots and certain names for all the hang out places. I don't know, it seems it has it's own little personality, and I just don't know anything about it. I'm always asking people where places are and how to get there. It's frustrating sometimes. And the streets are numbered, not named, which was quite confusing at first. >.< Those cities are definitely familiar! That's so weird. What city did your dad grow up in? It was probably stupid to ask that question considering I don't know much about Wisconsin at all, but I want to know anyway! Oh, college. I just really don't think it's for me. It may be genetic, lol. My parents didn't go , my sister dropped out. The only person from my family who has gone to college and is going to graduate is my brother. He currently goes to Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. He's majoring in computer science, I believe. I went down to the campus once to visit him. It was really nice and I'm considering going there. I'm definitely going to apply. I just don't really know. I'm so stressed about this. I have no idea what I want to major in or anything. I feel like I don't fit into anything. I'm hesitant because my family doesn't really have a lot of money. I don't want to try going and then realize I don't like it. I figured I could wait a year or so to save up some money, maybe then I won't feel as rushed to go. hmph. I just don't enjoy thinking about this at all, it's upsetting. lol.I'm excited for you to read Twilight! I know a lot of people think it's just for girls, but I really think boys would enjoy it, too. I recommended it to my friend who has never heard of the series ,(where's he been? lol) and he absolutely loved it. When I told him the movie was coming out, he was really excited. lol. Out of the two series I mentioned, I think you should read the Cirque Du Freak series first, just because I think it's better. And I said so. The Last of the Very Great Whangdoodles was written by Julie Andrews, she's an actress if you didn't know. She was in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, and the more known Princess Diaries. It's about a group of children who meet a man who believes in this imaginary land with all these different kinds of animals and creatures. They have to save the Whangdoodles. It's such a kids book; It would be an extremely quick read if I were to read it now. Oh! I totally forgot to mention that I read Brave New World by ALdous Huxley for one of my classes. I have to say, that is probably one of my favorite books I've ever read for a class. I'm definitely going to have to pick up some of his others because I really enjoyed that one. I totally agree with you on the project thing. I had two weeks to work on that project and I waited until the last day. I worked for 8 hours straight. I think it's the best project I've ever done. I was proud with how it turned out. You're lucky with how minimal your asthma is. I have it so bad. It's seasonal. Every time the weather changes in the slightest, my lungs go crazy. I'm on a daily steroid to control it, and If I don't take it for a day, I have trouble breathing. Sometimes it's so bad that I can't walk up stairs without being out of breathe. Life would be much better if I didn't have it . Fall is my worst season, for some reason. Especially lately, though. I guess it's the hottest fall Wisconsin has ever had, so the weather will be like 40 degrees one day and then the next it'll be 70. Yeah, my asthma does not enjoy that.You know, I really couldn't tell you. I know my anxiety has been there all my life. I was actually watching some home videos the other day, and you could tell it was there. The way I talked to my parents and did things with my sister. I'm surprised my parents never said anything to me. Maybe they noticed but they were just waiting for me to do something about it. Depression runs in the family, but so does anxiety. So I guess it is a combination. I'm certainly not anxious because I'm depressed. I'm anxious because I don't like doing things by myself. If I haven't done something before, I either need someone to do it with me, or do it first. Some times it's little, ridiculous things, like going into a store by myself or asking a stranger what time it is. It varies, really, but it's to the point where it's ridiculous. So I'm on Lexapro, an antidepressant, and Xanax, for my anxiety. Did that help with your question? Since my anxiety is so bad, I can't (or won't) do a lot of things that are simple, things that I should be able to do, but I just won't because it's 'scary' or 'unfamiliar'. Anxiety is why I haven't had a job yet. I'm working on it though. Hopefully I'll be able to suck it up. I don't usually post my pictures on xanga too often. I do, however, put them on deviantArt when I get the chance. My website is http://maynduhh.deviantart.com/ if you'd like to check it out. It's nothing special. I use to have a lot more pictures on there, but that's a long story that you probably wouldn't want to hear. I could go on and on about my favorite movies. The list would probably be way too long for you to even imagine but I'll try to pick a few. Let's see here...when I'm faced with the question, 'What's your favorite movie?', I usually say 10 Things I Hate About You, but when it comes to my taste in movies, that just doesn't really make sense. It is one of my favorites, though. Some others I really enjoy are Garden State, Requiem For A Dream, A Knights Tale, Life As A House, The Fountain, The Jacket, Watching the Detectives, Into the Wild, and The Go Getter. I'll stop there; the list goes on and on. Then there's all the child movies I could watch over and over, like The Indian In the Cupboard, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, The Lion King, ect. I really do enjoy movies. I feel like at some level they're like quotes. Sometimes they express what I'm feeling so much better than I can. I'm always looking for a good movie to watch. It's hard to find friends who just enjoy coming over and watching a good movie, everyone I know 'needs' to go out and do things. That's probably why I haven't made many friends. lol. Music. Hm. Okay, I tried this before and failed. So let's try again. I just downloaded a bunch of Celine Dion. I'm giving you permission to laugh, now. One of my favorite artists is John Mayer. His music is magical. I'm really into the mellow stuff. I like things I could put on at any moment, no matter what the mood, and it would make me feel great. I have different artists for my different moods, too. I've got stuff ranging from Slipknot to Taylor Swift. I guess I enjoy some eminem every now and then, but that's about as far as my rap loving goes, lol. I really am open minded to music, so it's hard to say what I like. It's nice to hear you're glad I added you, lol. I only have one friend who sends me those pointless entried, Antisoccermom. I think that's the name. heh, well, yeah. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say about myself, but if you have questions I would gladly answer them. I feel like I haven't said enough to suffice; we'll see. Hopefully this comment helps you a bit more than my last one!
