gwendolyngreyYou know, there actually is an upside to having little money of one's own. People lately have been giving me a lot of things...shoes, clothes, etc. I think if I was ever really poor and on my own, I wouldn't be the type of person to be above taking charity. I'm really happy when people give me their old things...it's just so hard making myself shell out cash for clothes and whatnot. Which is really silly actually, because I have no compunctions about spending lots on fabric or books...prioritizing I suppose. Costumes>Clothes. Books>Food.
And I have decided that being poor builds character and I will try very hard not to complain about it from now on. Although if some unknown relative dies and leaves me money (which isn't likely) I would be very happy indeed.
It's very strange how so many people think I'm much smaller than I really am. My prof was astonished to discover I was 5'4", he thought I was about four inches shorter than that. And people guess I'm a size zero or two or something when I'm really a six. It's....weird. I know I'm not tall or large, but honestly, I'm not THAT tiny!!!
