10 Questions Normal People Should Stop Asking Me

1)    How does it feel to be eighteen?

a.       Like I’m a sixteen-year-old in the body of a fourteen-year-old.

Nothing has changed ...

2)      What kind of music do you listen do?

a.       Broadway and Disney.  Songs typically used for slow dances.

3)      What kind of movies do you watch?

a.       Cheap N' Cheezy Rom Coms that fill the void of real romance in my life.  And Disney.  Always Disney.

s4)      What do you want for your birthday?

a.       A tiara and princess gown.

My Dream Wedding Gown

5)      Oh, you went to a party this weekend?  What did you do?

a.       In-depth conversations about our nerdy tendencies including but not limited to: video games, anime, overcoming social awkwardness.

6)      Where are you going to college?

a.       The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City.

7)      Oh, and what are you studying?

a.       Musical Theater (was that not obvious from the name of the college?)

8)      So what’s your dream, then?

a.       ... Broadway (was that not obvious from my chosen college and major?)

9)        Isn’t living in New York expensive?

a.       Is your two-story four-bedroom three-bathroom home with a double-wide garage to fit both of your cars expensive? I’m paying the same amount to live in a box with no car.  It’s just a different kind of lifestyle.

10)  You’re going to New York City alone?  Aren’t you scared?

a.       I’m going because I’ll be alone.  I need a little separation from my family (not that I don’t love them.)   I’ll make lots of friends and never go out alone at night.  Plus, New York’s crime rate is similar to that of Disneyland.  So no, I’m not scared. 

By this point in the conversation, the average normal person is wondering what planet I have descended from.  Oh well ...

Love,

Little Me
