The Handshake

Hello, if you're here, you probably have nothing better to do. I don't blame you.

My name is Valerie. There's nothing really special about me. I think the only difference between myself and the rest of my age group is the fact that I realize I hold almost no originality. You see, just because I listen to The Beatles, Elvis, Aerosmith, Weezer and so on I don't believe I am "original" and "unique." In fact, there actually is nothing unique about me. I say "like" all the time and seem to believe my life won't be a string of incompletes. I do strive to be at least a little different, but I think after trying for so long... I just don't anymore.

I have a dry sense of humor. Really dry. In fact it's quite sad when I make a comment that I know anyone like me would laugh at, but that my peers just don't understand. I'm not claiming to be misunderstood. I mean, people like me. I don't sit in the corner of the classroom with a hood over my head. I'm actually just really quiet and I honestly don't pay attention at all in class. Yet, I always manage to do well with every test I wing. I don't know... Haha. Whatever. Anyways, I'm not a really picky person. I like good music, good food, and good clothes. Everything inbetween is just there. I'd like to say I don't judge and I don't steryotype and that I'm even not a little shallow but both you and I know that isn't true. I find myself attracted to the guy with the cute face and the good grades with the good future plans. I know, it's high school and in 2 years I'll be in New York with a whole new group of jocks, but I can't help it.

Just know, I have insomnia. So the majority of my posts will be late at night. I can't sleep due to disorganized thoughts. My life is crazy. Good and bad. Just know I love my family regardless of any future posts I may write.
