I feel like saying true stories from my childhood. The day before kindergarten, I cut my hair short with safety scissors and without looking in a mirror. I had seven pair of the same rainbow tights because I had to wear those tights everyday and my mom had to tell my teacher that I had multiple pairs of the same tights and I wasn't wearing the exact same pair each day. Now that you can sorta, hopefully, imagine what I looked like on the first day of kindergarten, when I walked into the classroom. I wanted to be friends with everyone as a child. (I know how did I become so antisocial if I was so social as a child? I honestly don't know) I saw this one girl and walked up to her, bouncing and probably looking pretty high. I walked right up to her, stuck out my hand and said, "Hi, I'm Gina. Do you wanna be my bestest friend forever?" The girl looked up at me and said, "Fine, sure, whatever." And she shook my hand. Then I developed a crush on her and she for me, but here we are, still best friends. Here's another story:

In like June or July, right after kindergarten, my best friend's family adopted a little girl from Guatemala. Then they had a party to welcome the infant child and invited all their friends (including me). My mom told me to dress up quickly because we were already running late. Fact about me as a child, I was OBSESSED with Fancy Nancy ... I even had a costume of her dog. Back to the story, I 'dressed up' in that fancy dig costume that had a tutu, so you knew it was 'fancy'. Gods I was a delusional child, but now we all know where my PJO/HOO obsession came from. Anyway, I wore this costume and like a ton of my mom's necklaces and bracelets and dress up high heels. My mom, having a five year old, a seven year old, a three year old, and being pregnant with my little sister, had given up on fighting me about my outfits long before that. So, when my mom saw what I was wearing, she just told me to get in the car and I did. I was always the 'odd' one in my family, I guess. I mean both my brothers were wearing suits and my mom was wearing a fancy dress.
