An Interview

I decided for this interview I’d interview my mother, I woman who I figured would know be pretty well. However, I ended up getting incredibly short answers. When I asked her what the most interesting thing about me was, she replied with something about how smart I am. My point is that my mother gave rather shallow answers. Shallow or not, I still managed to learn a little bit about myself. For example, my mother said my most prominent personality trait was my sense of direction, and then went on to say that my hamartia is tunnel vision. I guess it’s always been that way, I know what I want and I’m going to get it. It’s not always good, not always bad, but I have to work on it being a good thing more than a bad thing. My mother also said I don’t have any harmful personality traits, and I think she gets the whole balance thing. All things in moderation, I guess. All the skills my mother listed were mental skills, which works with her saying that I needed to gain skills that include working with my hands. That being said, they day I learn a trade will probably be the day pigs fly. Why? It’s just not me. I do think she’s right though, because there are plenty of jobs that you need to be smart and handy. You can’t examine a crime scene without being able to very carefully pick it apart, and I don’t want a doctor with terrible coordination.

When I asked what my greatest weakness was, my mother didn’t miss a beat before saying that it was my inability to put myself out there. She’s not wrong, generally, social situations terrify me. Which is a really big weakness, career wise, because networking is a thing, and its a thing that really scares me. All in all, I’m not sure my mother taught me anything about myself, she just reminded me of a lot of things, like how good I am at eyeliner (that’s not a joke, thats a thing she said).

The five most important people in my life are Grace Helbig, my Dad, my friend Sarah, my Mum, and my step - grandmother,


Grace Helbig, although I don't actually know her, my life sometimes feels like a stream of her content. She has this sort of awkward, nervous air to her that I totally get. At one point I even picked up her awkward flat hand, hand gesture. She calls her self 'the older sister of the internet' and she has become exactly that. Shes just influences so many parts of my life, I guess.

My Father is a weird on, because the traits he's given me aren't exactly the best ones, he's stubborn, argumentative, and opinionated, just like me. He's says black, I argue white, it's infuriating at the best of times. Plus, many of his political views are like anti-inspirational. It still feels like he should be on this list though.

Sarah is a year younger than me and we hardly ever see each other, but she's cool. She's full of life, incredibly social, and the kind of person who knows what she wants, She's going to be a writer, and although her writing right now is probably down right average for her grade level, she doesn't stop. She's relentless with her writing, it's her all her free time. She's also the social butterfly I've never been, god that girl has a lot of friends. There's something about her that make me want to be on her level.

My mother graduated university working part time at TD. Recently, she met her new branch manager, who was born the same year she started working there. Her job isn't going anywhere, she knows it. Her economics degree is sitting in the basement, collecting dust, and she never uses economics. My mum is the reason you have to be motivated to go where you want, or else you don't go anywhere, Bless her.

My step grandmother worked in the back for 30 years, and retired at 58. Now, shes an artist, goes down to Florida in the winter, and started part time work at my grandfather job, because she was bored. I guess she had the drive my mum didn't. She this strange, great, kind of feminist, where she goes out, has a killer career, and comes home a is like Debbie domestic. Its pretty cool. She gets on my nerves but her life has been full, and awesome.

So there's the 5 most important people in my life, I guess.

Me

Hi, I am Julie.
This is my all about me,
written in haiku

Favorite band is
The Nineteen Seventy-Five
but just by a hair.
.
Bastille, The Kooks, Lorde,
Marina and the Diamonds,
Vampire Weekend.

Once I read this book,
We Were Liars, E. Lockhart,
Maybe I loved it.

Megan Dunne kills it,
except her haiku's are lame,
mine are much better,

Freaks And Geeks; the best
Darn, over in one season,
Forced to re-watch it.

Have you ever seen,
That one movie, True Romance.
Guns, love, and cocaine.

Also, love clothing
A form of self expression,
I relish in it.

A feminist kid,
because inequality,
sucks for everyone,

Own record player
and love hunting for vinyls
kinda pretentious

I don't know what else,
How much is to much to share?
Thank you, for reading.

Learning Styles

I'm pretty middle of the road with all of this. The one I scored the most with is Interpersonal which is hilarious and backwards because I'm incredibly introverted, I just like being in charge. So the questions that asked if I like being a leader totally skewed the answers. I like doing the work myself or my way. However, my second highest score, Musical, I guess is closer, as the easiest way for me to focus is to be listening to music. Also 8% Naturalistic, because bugs.
