needy

i needed attention as a child.
what things did you do as a child to get attention?

elementary:
  • i fell down on purpose on a video tape (watched over thanksgiving, pretty funny, can't wait to get my hands on it)
  • i wore a 'retainer' aka a paperclip. i wanted braces.
  • i wanted a cast. i wanted to break my hand. i ran into walls. hard.
  • i pretended i was famous at rest areas. it didn't work.
  • my friend left her glasses at my house...i decided i needed glasses. so. i wore them. and refused to return t hem to her. then i did.

college:
i fell down to get a laugh.

some things never change.

I used to bump my head against the bus window because it made the other children laugh.

I cussed a lot in high school, especially during speech meets, because it elicited laughter. I also (to this day) show off bruises. Hm. (Elementary) When my older sister was picking on me, I would call my mom at work.
