RAndom stuff I wrote while I was in Portland (Part 3)

August 29, 2008 in Uncategorized | 1 comment

I am traveling from the East Coast to the West Coast. In the meanwhile. I will leave you with some random writing I did three months ago while I was in Portland.

Watching TLC at my aunt’s house…

I have learned one valuable thing from my incessant TV watching: I think I need to improve my dressing. I’ve been watching What not To Wear. I used to think they were rude, but now I love Clayton and Stacey! (I still think it’s a little rude.)

Also, it’s against my value system to spend a lot of money on clothes. I buy ALL my clothes at the thrift store. YES! It’s true! So, I am going to buy myself some nice clothes. Since I hate to shop, I’m going to buy my stuff on myshape.com. Hopefully I measured myself correctly. Watching the show and seeing that people who feel like me about clothes often have underlying insecurities made me think that maybe updating my look to a professional woman in her mid-thirties would be a good thing to do. (I have loads of underlying insecurities.) Who am I now? What do I want to project to the world? I am not going as far as wearing high heeled pointy toed shoes though. Oh, NO.

Alone, eating at my aunt’s house…

I learned (or actually remembered): I eat more in other people’s houses. I grew up eating at many different people’s houses, and I don’t know if I ate more when I was a kid during those times, but I noticed it when I was an exchange student and gained an alarming amount of weight. I don’t don’t know why I do this. I think it’s a mixture of anxiety and something else. If you have any insight on this, please let me know.

I watched a lot of TV in Portland. First I made fun of the TV shows my aunt watched. Then I got sucked in…

I am SO jealous of John and Kate plus Eight. I’m jealous of them as a couple. I’m jealous of them having kids. I want kids! but the truth is, if I was in that mix, what I would really want is to be one of those kids. I’d be Aaden. I’m jealous of the kids! I would love to be one of those kids. We all get the life we get and I swing back and forth between realizing I’m really lucky because I’m not in a war zone and I’m healthy, and then to aknowleding that I had a really crappy childhood and that still affects me. I really admire John and Kate. They are so practical and unpretentious. I would want John’s role. I am not as organized as Kate. I would rather bathe the kids than cook. WAY more.
