A Paper and a Heart

This was originally a paper for my Psychology class but I thought that I would share it with everyone. In the paper we had to describe people, events, and circumstances that have shaped us to become who we are. The part that I have included here is about Universal and how much it has impacted my life. Enjoy.

"Living in Los Angeles almost everyone has "The Story". "The Story" is when they met Bradley Cooper or saw Tom Cruise driving down Wilshire Blvd. My story is how I grew up in a world famous theme park. Since 2003 Universal Studios Hollywood has been my second home. Growing up my former best friend's dad was a driver for the studios. My friend and I would get picked up from school and then taken to Universal and told to stay in the park until he called us with a meeting spot. Now you could imagine, two pre-teen girls running around a theme park, it was incredible. After a while people started to recognize the two of us, asking if we were the same girls that were just there a day ago. We would respond yes and then giggle but the truth is, after a few months those people, these actors, became our friends and then they became our family. I am the friendly, outgoing, not shy person that I am because of Universal Studios. Being in such a friendly atmosphere introduced me to a world of mature, friendly adults and young adults who were and are my mentors and my guidance to "the real world". Some of the people I have met during my adventures at Universal are people whom I now consider my family. They have been with me through happy and sad times. They have helped me through deaths and watched me graduate High School. Universal taught me about a sense of family and trust and love within people who originally, I might have never even talked to or had nothing in common with. Universal will always hold a very special dear place in my heart for all that it has done for me. Not to mention all the hot guys it had introduced me to. In all seriousness though, my best friend whom I mentioned earlier in the paper, I met her at Universal and now we have a friendship, a connection, a love, a bond that no person or event could ever break. I would like to say thank you to Universal Studios."


That was just one section of the paper I wrote.

Don't Let Me Fall

I've been thinking about my mom a lot lately. Probably has something to do with this big birthday I have coming up. I wonder if I ever will get over her death. I mean when you think about it, it's not like I knew her, how could I be so devastated? I have come to the realization that it's not her I miss, how could I ? I miss he thought of her. People talk about her around me and I just sit there thinking, I don't really want to hear this. I guess I inherited that from my father. He never talks about her. I think I like it that way though, I don't want to live any more of a Lifetime movie then I already am.


On to the good stuff. Boys. Ever wish we could simply go back to first grade when boys had cooties and we did not worry about relationships or sex or love? The only love we were concerned with was that of Mr.Cuddles (the teddy bear). Then you grow up and love becomes so much more complicated. It is no longer unconditional, cooties are real and deadly, and you learn to the fullest where babies really do come from. I have one guy that wants nothing but sex, another who wants a full blown relationship, a man who confesses his love for me but is engaged to another and a young man who just doesn't know what he wants. Welcome to my life. I think I might boycott men for a while. I don't mean just give them up but shut my self off from relationships or even the thought of one. It is simply unnecessary at this point in my life.

I know this one was a little random. Needed to say some of that stuff though. I hope that everyone is having a safe and happy holidays. 2010 really has been quite an interesting year. Lots of stuff has happened and not happened. Some for the better and some for the worse...but that's life. Almost my birthday. TOTALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. You have no idea. It's going to be INCREDIBLE. Hope you all are doing fantastic!
