Jessica: A Different Kind of Being.

Here is something I wrote in Grade 11.  It was a "project" we had to write in english class.  It is probably the only assignment I've kept over all these years (typed on a typewriter I might add).  I just love to read what was going through my head when I was 16...and honestly some things have not changed!  Enjoy...

I am Jessica.

I am sixteen years old.

I have blue eyes.
They match my blond hair or sometimes dirty blond.

I stand tall.
Five feet, six and a half inches to be exact.
Just like my father so people tell me.
I personally like to think I'm my own person.

I love pasta and sauce.
I wonder sometimes why I'm not Italien.

One of the many mysteries in life.

I like school but hate lunchtime.
I wish I didn't go to L.H.S.
One more year won't kill me.

I like dance music better than rap.
I prefer rock over country.
But I give all music a chance.

I prefer to work than to sit around and do nothing.

Sometimes.

I know what's going on in the world.
I read newspapers and watch the news.
The whole system stinks.

I love math but hate physics.
I love animals but birds just don't seem to appeal to me.

I'm always right and everyone else is wrong.
So I like to think.

I hate people who worry about what othe people say or think.
Who cares?

I hate people who put themselves down.
And people who tell me I'm wrong.

I'm NEVER wrong.  (HA HA is all I can say!)

(There are 2 sentences here I "whited" out so I guess I wasn't proud of what I wrote or just didn't want anyone else to see that thought!)

I'm usually in a bad mood.
People say I have an attitude.

I'm a sagittarius I'm suppose to.

There's too much sexism in this world.
No one seems to be doing anything about it.

Women are equal.

I love music and movies.
I've watched Die Hard at least fifty times.

Bruce Willis rules.  (I still think that HA HA!)

The one thing more important then my stereo and music is my cat.
He's fifteen years old.
He's my best friend. (I led a sheltered life)

I babysit a lot.
It sucks.

I wanted to be a vet but that was just a phase.
I want to be involved with the law.

Somebody has to try and make a difference.

I have a dream but don't we all.

I hate History.
I don't understand why we have to learn about it.
I don't care.

I believe in the death penalty.
It may be a sick belief but it's true.
More dealth pnalties.  Less crime.
It could happen.

I don't like politics so I don't know the difference between the liberals and the conservatives and all the other parties. (This is still true)
They only mess up the world more.

I love to be by myself.
It gives me time to think on my own.
People may think I'm a loner but I like being lonely.

I love staying up late but hate getting up in the morning. (Oh how true it is)
That explains why I'm always late for school.

I worry too much and cry too much.

We all have our faults

I don't believe in suicide.
It's the cowardly way out.
People say that's being cruel.
I'm sorry that's the way I feel.

I'm definitely not in love and don't plan on being any time in the near future.
I can wait.
Won't my parents be happy.

I'm overly concerned about the system.
It needs help.

So do I.

My name is Jessica and this is 1994.
