I find that, sometimes, when I try to do something nice for someone else, I don't always get the reaction that I would expect. Or like, for that matter. I don't do nice things for others so that it makes me feel good. I do nice things for others because it's the right thing to do and because I just plain want to. So when I get a reaction that isn't reflective of what I've done for them, I get frustrated. Does that make me a bad person?
It's draining to have people in your life who don't appreciate you. It's difficult to be friends with people who are flaky, who you can't count on. You'd be silly to count on them, because they only know how to disappoint you and let you down. It is quite possibly my biggest pet peeve. I mean, it's potentially a deal breaker with me. I think this quote sums it up better than I ever could: "Never make someone a priority who only makes you an option." I try to live my life with people around me who want to be around me, and who put forth the effort to be there with and for me. No one wants to be in a one-sided friendship.
Ok, onto 30 interesting things about me:

6) I was fired from my job at Hallmark when I was a junior in high school.
7) Alaska and Oregon are the only 2 states I've never been to.
8) I used to dress up with my 2 younger sisters as a birds. We would wear these flowy jean skirts around our necks and then flap our arms to make it look like wings.
