Some things never change; one plus one equals two, my love of vodka, the Pirates will have a losing season, and lastly the fact that I still think as if I were 12-years-old.
After my 11-minute run yesterday (ugh, don’t even ask), I decided to do some abs, which by the way are sore. As I was on the floor, I noticed this box underneath my bed. Until last night, I did not realize it was there. Curious, I pulled out the box to find old memorabilia. Among the memorabilia was my HS diploma, URI media guides, along with some other importance pieces, but most importantly I found a paper I wrote in middle school. It wasn’t as much a paper, but more of a questionnaire. Who knew the details of this project, but the questionnaire asked for name, nicknames, hometown, and hobbies-you know the drill, simple stuff. As I kept reading my answers, the more complicated stuff; it became clear to me that at 28-years-old, I have not changed since the age of 12. Should I be concerned? Probably.
For some reason, I am not concerned at all. Surprisingly, the Supe at 12-years-old was a smart cookie, and even back then, quirky. Here are a few excerpts.
The Supe, c. 1995.
I just can’t resist: playing with my cats and my bird.
Still true.
My idea of a perfect day: going to the beach in Florida with my friends.
Still true.
Nobody knows: I would have two brothers and a sister but they died when they were born.
Not sure how this wouldn’t be true.
A Favorite Childhood Memory: crying and getting scared by Captain Hook at Disney World.
What child thinks of this as a favorite memory? Me, apparently.
Favorite Food: potato skins, salad, candy.
Still true.
My goal in life is to: go to college with a full gymnastics scholarship and then get a good job.
Well, half of that is true. The other half is a work in progress, also a discussion for another blog post. Actually the entire answer is another blog post.
If I could spend 10 minutes with anyone it would be: my grandfather who I never met.
Still very true.
The quality I most admire in people: being themselves and not trying to be like anyone else.
If you know me in any way, shape or form, I think this pretty much sums me up in a nutshell.
The thing I’m better at than anyone else: not getting embarrassed easily and being very stubborn.
Once again, really? Am I still 12?
My philosophy in life is: just go with the flow, whatever happens happens.
This is the best one, also probably a great discussion for another blog post.
Like I said, this probably should concern me, but it doesn’t. It doesn’t because this is me, it always has been me, and probably will always be me. Some things never change, like the Supe.
