I used to...

I used to be a nerd and band geek.
I used to be a cheerleader.
I used to be skinny.
I used to paddle for Kaiheo/Windward Kai/Kai Oni Canoe Clubs.
I used to play 'ukulele, write songs, and sing in public. (in a band! we played at "bedroq", and in front of hundreds at Puget Sound lu'au. imagine that!)
I used to think that other girls didn't make good friends.
I used to be shy, then I was outgoing, and now I'm back to shy--sort of.
I used to hook up with other people's boyfriends, just because I could.
I used to think I was the $#!+...then I realized it was only in my mind, and I was actually just a nerd and band geek.
I used to screw people over out of selfishness, then I got a taste of my own medicine.
I used to put up with a lot of CRAP from people that were supposed to love me.
I used to GIVE a lot of crap to people that I was supposed to love.
I used to believe that marrying my high school sweetheart would somehow make the relationship worth more--then I learned that length of time and quality of time were totally different.
I used to dance hula and tahitian.
I used to want blonde hair and light-colored eyes. (I still want the light eyes, but now I have contacts for that.)

  1. I totally wanted to cry when I read this....My friend encouraged me to start a blog but I have NOOOO idea what the heck I'm doing! My other friend said I have accidentally set up like 3 blogs...My blog is mostly about makeup and stuff cuz I've become obsessed with finding the perfect skincare line. But I think I've become inspired to make a list like yours.

  2. I think it's funny that you have 3 accidental blogs. Very "you"...so, how goes the search for perfect skincare?

  3. Right now pretty shitty. My skin is breaking out like mad because of this Vegas heat and dust everywhere. Doesn't help that I'm running a lot now and wiping my face with dirty hands. CRAP!
