Me

Readers,

This is a diary of the life and times of Trina.

Personally, I think I am very funny. Nay, Hilarious! The problem is that I tend to be the only one who thinks that. I always say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I am trying to make new friends, trying to learn not to be such a social fuck-up.

In 2004, the summer after I graduated High School, I married Josh. Josh is the most amazing, wonderful, kind, intelligent person I have ever met. He is also a huge nerd. For all you single women out there who are looking for husband material, I highly suggest going to, let's say, a Star Trek convention. Or a Star Wars costume contest. What I am trying to tell you is that nerds make the greatest husbands. Sure, they may laugh like convulsing hyenas, and talk about computer games for hours and hours... and hours and hours and hours... but they make up for it in a million other ways.

So, back to my bio.

I married the summer after highschool, and found that I was pregnant six months later. I saw no reason to attend school because I was going to write award winning fantasy/science fiction novels and live off the royalties forever. So now I am a 23 year-old freshman. I still think college is overrated and will not hesitate to quit if something better comes along. Or if I win the lottery.

Aidan was born on November 17th, 2005. It took me a long time to balance being a mother and still being myself. And, let me tell you, being a mother is not the beautiful fantasy world that so many women make it out to be. Babies cry. Babies poop. Babies demand. Did I mention that babies cry? It didn't take long for me to fall in love with that crying little wrinkled up thing, though. And now I have an adorable little two-year-old.

And who I am? To sum it all up in a few words: I'm insane. I'll elaborate for you, because I have nothing better to do. I'm awkward and strange when I meet people. I say every little thought that pops into my head. (That wouldn't be so bad if I had normal thoughts.) I live in a fantasy world most of the time. I strongly dislike scotch tape. I always want everyone to like me, but I usually end up getting on everyone's nerves. I tell jokes and no one laughs but me. I will randomly break into hysterical laughter over something that I remember from yesterday. I am very lax about neatness and sometimes even personal hygiene(I'm sorry, but showering every day is just excessive.) I stand in the middle on most issues. I don't believe in global warming, the temperature of the earth has always been sporadic. I think that all of my health problems are caused by my thyroid. I tell random people about my thyroid problem because I don't want them to think I'm fat just because I'm lazy. I could go on, but when I get tired my brain gets all fuzzy and its hard to think... probably has something to do with my thyroid as well...

Sorry for that boring little bio, I had to get that out of the way though. I'll start posting soon.

Much love!

Trina

Trina, I love you. I also love the fact that we are reconnecting this way. Does Josh still do the snort laugh? If not then he has officially lost his nerd status.

I think you're funny. and I only shower every three days. and I wash my hair and shave even less. the other day at work I hadn't showered in 3 days and I was getting tons of compliments (if they only knew what baby wipes and baby powder could do 5 seconds after rolling out of bed throwing on some clothes brushing some mascara on and combing my hands through my hair...) So there. We can be weirdos together. EMBRACE IT!!! X to the O

Baby wipes are miraculous, aren't they? Josh still snorts occasionally, but the greatest part about Josh's laugh is that it is so high pitched. He sounds like a girl, lol.

I'm glad we are reconnecting as well. You are one of the most interesting and memorable people I can remember!!

Trina, I have thyroid advise if you need any. I always say a garage sale saved my life. I found a book about hypothyroidism at a garage sale. I read the whole thing. I was taking my meds wrong. you are supposed to take them in the morning on an empty tummy and wait an hour to eat. Something my stupid dr. didn't tell me. Also your numbers may not be low enough. I have to stay around 2. To have any sanity. I also have to take depression meds even though I don't feel depressed. But man it sure did help my cravings and tiredness. I don't know all your fact but I do know that if your thyroid is not functioning properly you feel like you are a crazy person. So I hope this helps. I wish I still had the book I would give it to you but I gave it to another friend and she doesn't know what she did with it.
Thanks for the praise on the GGC blog. You are a sweetheart. Tell Josh hi for me. Buh bye!

I just ordered a book called "Living with Hypothyroidism" I can't wait to read it. Did you know that you aren't supposed to take vitamins with iron within 5 hours of thyroid medicine? The iron cancels out the thyroid hormone! Crazy! I can't wait to feel like a normal human again...

You don't believe in global warming? seriously? even if you don't believe that global warming is caused by human actions, the fact is that the temperature is rising. it's scientifically proven.

Trina said...

I believe the temperature of the earth is ever changing. Perhaps it is getting hotter now, but who's to say it's going to stick with that trend? Science can't predict the future. I suppose saying that I don't think people are contributing to global warming would be a better statement, though.
