CHEATING
Get your facts straight...if I was cheating I would have made it to round 4. Since I got up at seven I probably could have cheated but I didn’t. Too bad someone never made it out of eleventh hours entrant or the better late than never...because they obviously weren’t. I didn’t come from nowhere idiot I was at the top of the third page for a LONG time. Guess what MTV contacted me to be on this site...which meant I have an extra month to rally up support. PLUS YOU THINK EVERYONE IS CHEATING. Get a life.
HERES YOUR ANSWERS PART 1
How do you handle conflicts?
I am generally a very nice and mild mannered person so I rarely come into conflicts. I have a habit of letting things role off my back. It takes a lot to get me mad but I do have a breaking point and if you cross it you will definitely know. I will let my feelings of animosity build up until I will basically start yelling, crying, and shaking because I am so mad. I have never been in a fist fight before although I was close once.
Do you feel that approach is effective? Why or why not?
I don’t feel like my approach is effective most of the time. Because I don’t say anything until the line is crossed then I explode and whoever I get mad at is surprised that there was even a problem. A good thing about this is that since I am rarely angry when I am it REALLY gets the point across and the conflict usually ends.
What is the biggest problem you face?
My problem may not seem major to some people because it is a very common problem with people my age. It is caused by my determination, money issues, and hardheadedness. I believe the biggest problem I face is juggling my schedule and trying to maintain good grades. My family is strictly middle class which seems like it is the worst place to be financially. If you are lower class you can get money from the government to help out and if your family has money then there is less financial strain. The only thing I can get is loans. This means that I have to work my ass off to get money for college. I work 16hours at Wal-Mart on the weekend and I am a student worker at the American Sign Language and Interpreter Education Department at Eastern Kentucky University at least 25 hours a week. Plus I have had AT LEAST 15 credits pretty much every semester since I started college. I know this is a very common problem for many people but it is the biggest problem I face at the moment. So I guess I can consider myself lucky compared to some people.
Describe your childhood and home.
I have very little bad to say about my childhood. I was blessed with a great family that loved and cared for me deeply. When I was a child I spent summers with my grandparents on my father’s side so I wouldn’t have to wake up early in the morning when my parents went to work. I loved spending time there because me and my granddaddy were close. We used to watch wrestling and he had this saying “you want your wiping now or later” (of course kidding) and I would always say later but if I said now he would grab me and tickle me. My parents got divorced when I was in grade school and I didn’t take it well. But now I know it was defiantly for the best.
HERES YOUR ANSWERS PART 2
Describe a major issue or event that has affected your family.
One event that has greatly affected my family is my sister’s divorce. Right before the Christmas of 2004 my sister and my young nephew got kicked out by her husband. Her and her husband tried to work it out until April when my sister found out about the other woman. By that time she was pregnant with twins. It was a major issue with our family because he had ruined her financially. She had to move back in with me and my mom. (I was going to Community College in Western KY at the time.) Of course she didn’t like this at all but I believe it was a blessing. I was able to stay home with my nephews for the first years of their life. This is why I care so deeply for them. There father turned out to be a sperm donor just like his father had been to him. This was to my great surprise because me and him had been very close until his father came back into his life. This was also very wonderful for my sister because she now is with someone who she is completely happy with.
Describe yourself as a competitor
I have never been into competitive sports or any competitions like that. I was in the marching band for four years. (yes I am a band geek) We were a tight knit group and worked hard to be the best we could. Which was generally pretty well. Sorry I have a story to tell: My sophomore year I wanted a belly button ring soooo bad and my mom refused to let me get one. I made her a deal that if the band got in the top 10 at state she would sign for me to get one. She had no faith and guess what!!! We got exactly 10th in the state and I got my belly ring. Back on track: When we were at competitions and our name was called to receive an award it was like static was in the air and euphoria set over me. Marching band started my competitive spirit and now any time someone challenges me in something (that is not sports related) I will work my damndest to beat them. I love the feeling of accomplishment.
Why do you want to be on the RW? Why do you think others will vote for you?
This is going to sound so cliché: I come from a small town where everyone knows everyone and I have never allowed myself to let go and just not care. I was very uptight in high school and only went to like two parties. Now that I am in college I have loosened up but I have still have not totally let myself go free. I would love to get away from college for a while and just not think about it at all. I think the point of Season 20 is to find people with ambition and since I have ambition I hope people will vote for me. I am very fun to be around and I am smiling 65% of the time, I am sleeping the other 35%...although I have been told by some that I smile even when I am asleep.
Do you drink alcohol? If yes, how do you generally behave when intoxicated?
I do drink alcohol on a semi-regular basis but RARELY ever get drunk. I love a corona here and there and my favorite mixed drink is an amaretto sour. When I get drunk I don’t act crazy I actually get really mellow and don’t talk a lot. Of course that is because typically I am at a restaurant and not a party. Apparently I also loose track of time: Me, my sister, and her boyfriend were at Hananokis one day and I told her I would keep up with her drink for drink. That was a mistake because she has a higher tolerance than me. After some drinks I called it off because I had a major buzz. I went to the bathroom for what I thought was just a minute but when I came out they were done and leaving. My sis said she was about to come and get me cause it had been 10-15 minutes. Ooops.

MY FAMILY...MY ROCK ...MY LIFE
Sorry about the length….my family is very important to me…
I believe that my family has had an enormous impact on who I am today. When I was in grade school my parents got divorced. I remember being really upset but now I look back and I am sooooo grateful. My parents are both absolutely wonderful people and I could not ask for better parents but if you get them together both of them show their worst sides. It is also great because even though they were divorced we all still lived in the same small town.
My father owns his own business and is a very hard worker. He has always made sure that me and my sister have had everything we wanted (everything that we wanted that was logical) He is very loving and caring and my boyfriend often laughs because my father and I have a race to see who can say “I love you more” last when we get off the phone. He is the type of father who bought me a washer and dryer so I would not have to use a public laundry services because”they are too dangerous.” He also has everything I could possibly need in the trunk of my car in case of trouble. But sometimes I get frustrated with him because he has a habit of repeating himself ten times because he wants to make sure you remember whatever he is saying.
My mom has always been the one that has disciplined me and my sister because me and my sister lived with her. She works in payroll and has an amazing work ethic. It’s funny to look back now at all the fights we had when I was growing up because as I have gotten older I have realized how right my mom was during many of them. I look to her for guidance now and out of everyone in my life I hate disappointing her the most. She never tells us what to do but if we ask her advice she will point us in the right direction and let us do our own thing. I have a great respect for her.
My sister used to hate me. I mean literally hate me. I have a memory of us playing. She was holding me and swinging me around and she just let go. She admits she did it on purpose because she felt guilty when I was lying on my back crying. She thought she had broken my back or something. She is older than me and my only sibling and things have changed between us. We are extremely close and we feel comfortable telling each other anything. She is one of the few people I know that if I tell her something it stays between us.
She has three hansom boys and they are without a doubt the most important people to me. Now that I have moved away to college it is soooo hard to be away from them. My heart literally hurts when I can’t see them laugh and play. Ethan is four and some of the things he says sometimes are hilarious. He cries over every little thing sometimes but others he is as sweet as can be. He likes me to tell him that I don’t want any hugs and kisses that way he can run over and give them to me while I pretend like I want him to stop.
Wyatt and hunter are about 19 months old. Wyatt is the sweet one of the three (most of the time) and tries to talk continuously. No one can understand what he says but he just keeps on. We call him Jabberwocky. Hunter is selfish and has to get his way at all times. If he doesn’t or if someone says no to him he lowers his head, pokes out his lip, and looks at you through the corner of his eye to make sure your feeling sorry for him. A good example of Wyatt’s and Hunter’s differences is that one day my mom was eating cereal, Hunter came over to eat with her but when Wyatt came Hunter went and laid in the floor and cried cause he didn’t want to share. Wyatt didn’t understand what was wrong so he went and rubbed his brother’s belly to make him feel better.
Real World Road Rules Challenge
I am sure that many of you watch Real World/Road Rules Challenge and the Gauntlet. It strikes me funny that this website is exactly like that. Alliances Alliances Alliances. When you get people together with an ultimate goal they will join together to meet that goal. I have alliances of my own so I am not saying anything bad about them. But the interesting part will be when alliances are challenged in the end. Everyone will be working against each other to get that one last spot.
Me a Jackass?
Okay, so someone left a comment under my introducing video saying “This is the lamest casting video ever. why the hell would you involve kids in your attempt to get on the real world. think about it you jackass.” Did I miss something or was this round not supposed to be about family? Whatever I am just pissed and blowing off some steam.
HOMICIDE
I am taking a course this summer called Homicide which I thought would be really interesting because that’s what I want to do with my life...but it turned out to be less than interesting. I think it will get better when we get past all the basic definitions and get to the gory stuff. Anyway I have to write a paper on a homicide that occurred near my home and it is supposed to be about five pages long. This sucks since summer classes only last one month and I only have two weeks left to write the paper.
One very good thing has to happen in order for me to write this paper. I have to drive the four hours back home to investigate the homicide that I have picked.
The reason this is good is because I don’t have the opportunity to go home often so if I go onto the next round I will be able introduce you to the three most important guys in my life. Hopefully I will be posting a video about them next Saturday or Sunday. I believe it will let you know a lot about who I am and how important family is to me.
Best/Worst Traits
Short version:
Good Traits: Determined…..Organized…..Open Minded…..Silly and Fun
Bad Traits: Spoiled…..Hide my emotions…..Indecisive….Resentful
Extensive version:
Like everyone I have traits that I do and do not like about myself. But whether they are good or bad they define who I am. My good traits include determination, organization, open-mindedness, and my silly personality. I have been lucky to always have a great deal of support from my family in everything I have done. This has led me to believe anything is possible and has given me determination in everything I do. When I set a goal for myself I put everything I have into accomplishing that goal.
I have always felt that things go much easier if they are planned so I have the trait of organization. Every trip I go on, every paper I write, and all of my upcoming tasks are planned ahead. I have an ongoing list of things that I need to get done, which some people find strange. It gives structure to my life and leaves less room for surprises.
I am also very open minded which I see as a definite good trait. I believe that everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want with whomever they want without the societal pressures placed on us today. I believe in self expression and independence. Everyone is created equal and should be treated that way. No matter what your race or sexual preference is you should have the freedom to express your feelings without any repercussions.
I would hate to give you the impression that I am uptight because I am not at all. My looks and actions when you first meet me are deceiving. All the traits above come in a very silly and fun overall package. I love laughing and making others laugh. I like going out and spending time with friends and I am not afraid of what anyone thinks of me. I love smiling and have been told on numerous occasions that I never stop.
Some of my bad traits include being spoiled, hiding my emotions, being indecisive, and being resentful to those who have things given to them. I am not spoiled in the way of material possessions but I love getting my way and being rubbed or scratched. If I want something and I don’t want to get it I try and get others to get it for me. Also if I ask someone for something I don’t want to wait. I want it right then.
Another bad trait is the fact that I am highly emotional yet I hide my emotions. I am the listener and will not let myself open up to people around me about serious issues. I won’t even disucss my feelings or stress with my family or friends. They have to pressure me into discussing my feelings. I let my emotions build up until they explode and the crocodile tears fall.
I am very indecisive. One of the hardest things in life for me is making decisions. I always try to look to others to make my decisions for me. Usually I know what I want the person to decide for me but I pout if they choose the wrong route. In the end I usually do whatever I want. I even flip coins to avoid making decisions and go against the flip if I don’t like it.
Though I know it is not a good trait I am resentful to those who have things given to them. I have grown up in a middle class home in a small town and I have always worked hard for everything I received. I bought my own car, pay my insurance, pay for my cell phone, and anything else I need. Don’t get me wrong, my parents help me with everything they can and are wonderful people. I know that when someone is born they don’t choose where they fall on the social ladder but I still have a bit of jealously toward their financial situation.
These basic traits as well as many others make up who I am and how I interact with others in society. There is much more that makes up someone’s personality that can not be expressed by traits. Environment, beliefs, morals, and life goals are also very important aspects to focus on.
