As a child,growing up my mother hardly ever put me in dresses or skirts or really,anything of the extreme 'feminine' nature most mothers do for their daughters. No,my mother almost always put me in pants and baggy shirts. Not because we were poor or less fortunate,but because my mother doesn't dress or act too feminine herself either. Growing up,I would go outside to play in the rain,or the mud or even the sand/dirt. I also never TRULY had a female figure in my life to even teach me the basics like make-up or hair,because as I've said above,my mother didn't truly care about those things herself. Actually now she would say that she tried getting makeup for herself,but I would always take it and use it without her permission so she gave up,lol. Kids,am I right?
Since I am older now (about to be 24 in a little less than 2 months),I look back and almost kind of wish I had my mother to TEACH me how to do my makeup or anything really feminine. I still feel like I am learning to do things like that,even though most women at my age would already have it down packed and have their own techniques. Are there any other females out there who had a similar childhood and it affected their adult lives????
Also,on top of the fact that I was a tomboy...I was the type of kid that if I didn't want a new video game for my Nintendo 64,or to play outside,I was really interested in reading. I was really interested in learning,but not in the form of studying for my homework. I never actually had to study for school,I passed any test or quiz without studying more than I passed them WHEN I studied. Off topic (sorry),but I remember around the age of 6 maybe,we had a book fair at school. I so desperately wanted money to get some books,which is weird for a kid right? My mother had a shoe box of money under her bed,that was actually being saved for ME....One day,before school,I had the BRIGHT idea to take about $20 from the shoe box in order to buy some books. I didn't tell a soul,I didn't get caught right away. I then continued on to school,went to the book fair,bought some books,but I didn't plan on how I was going to cover up the fact that I TOOK THE MONEY TO BUY THEM. So of course I had gotten caught,and from then on my mother was so mad she stopped saving for me.
I still tell her,at least I bought books. What kid does that? I guess that is why I became as big of a book reader as I am,or how,or when. I didn't complete High School,after I dropped out at the age of 16 (10th grade),I did what most teenagers WOULD NOT have done. Instead of going out with friends all the time,I stayed home and read books most of the time. Of course I then got a job not too long after. But in the time before that,I read books,countless books. Oddly enough though,as much of a book-worm as I am,I could not re-read a book. I just cannot do it....I hear a lot of people can....
Anyways,that concludes this blog. I apologize for any ranting or rambling on about a whole bunch of nothing. :*
