Five, I'll drive.

5. CLOTHES
I. Like. Clothes. So shut up, ok? I have spend years and hundreds of my hard earned dolla dolla bills cultivating my personal style. I'm terrible art art, but for some reason I have a GOD GIVEN GIFT of putting an outfit together (I'm not really that conceited, I just have a blog dedicated to talking about myself and things that I like.) I don't know how to describe my style, sassy, theatrical, classic, cutting edge, chic, trendy, fab-u-lous. Ya know. A lot of people say, "Oh that's dumb, why do you spend so much time and money on clothes, oh the vanity!" And to these people. let's call them "haterz," I say, psh clothes are fun and I like them so go away. I like stores, such as Urban, Gap, H&M, the classics. But I am also one thrifty bitch. Thrift and Consignment stores are fun because you get to be a treasure hunter and find cool shit and people go "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?" And you get to say, "oh this? It's from a thrift store," and be a fancy snooty bitch.

Four, you're a whore

4. I have two moms. Yes, it's true. No I don't have a Dad, I never had a Dad. I always had two moms. Yes, they are lesbians, it's not a big deal. They decided to have kids so they obtained some sperm and 9 months later they had me and my twin brother. It's been kind of a trip. I love it when people ask me, "What's it like having two moms?" As if I have something to compare it to. It's honestly not as exciting as it seems, in fact you would probably be disappointed because it's pretty average. And no, I'm not a lesbian. I like boys. How do I know this? I just do, ok? I actually came out as straight, it was pretty uneventful. My parents are just like your parents, except neither of them has a penis. I don't really want to meet my father (oh that sounds SO weird) because I don't really see a reason, to me he is less of a parent and more of half of the reason I have a body (thanks daddy!) I'm grateful for his kind donation and let's leave it at that. Those are the FAQ's. That's the whole story y'all.

Three's a crowd y'all

3. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic. This is my blog so, my dear reader, you are about to get a PROPER diabetes education. Being diabetic basically means that your body has trouble using or producing insulin. Type one, or juvenile diabetes, happens when your immune system attacks the beta cells in your pancreas that are supposed to make insulin in your body. Insulin is a hormone in your body that helps your body process glucose. When your body can't process glucose, it enters your blood stream and makes you really sick. (I think that was a pretty good explanation, if I got anything wrong you can NICELY tell me and I will gladly fix it.) Because of this, I have to inject my self with insulin at mealtimes and one other time, I take two different kinds of insulin, Novalog (fast-acting for food consumption!) and Lantus (slow-acting for other stuff!) I feel like I don't really know how to talk to people about diabetes. I was diagnosed in March of my senior year of high school, I was really sick for months and didn't know why. They thought I had Type 2, which is a different kind of diabetes that some people think is slightly more manageable and in some cases can even be "cured."(I'm only using "'s because I don't know all the info about it, if it works for everyone and all of that.) But then I got some tests and the doctor gave me the news. It's a really upsetting and confusing diagnosis because there's not really anything you can do to prevent type 1, it just happens and you feel like a victim. There's a lot of information you have to learn quickly because diabetes  requires a lot of maitenince. It was very overwhelming. In a way I was lucky, I got to be diabetes free for 18 years, most people are diagnosed in childhood or sometimes even when they're infants. And they caught on pretty quickly, most people wake up in the hospital with really high blood glucose levels and get diagnosed that way. Anyway, I've only had it a little over a year and I just do not know how to talk about it or when to talk about it. I usually have to do some explaining when people see me sticking a needle in my body, which I've gotten pretty stealthy about but I get caught sometimes, or if someone sees me testing my sugar or something. I want to educate people about it but I think I just need some more time. I'm hoping to go on an insulin pump this summer, right now I carry insulin pens, but a pump will allow me a lot more freedom with eating and stuff, plus it might help me loose some weight because taking insulin can make it hard to loose weight. Also, I can still eat sugar, so shut it. 

Tea for Two

2. I'm 19, thought you might be interested in that factoid. How did I get here you might wonder? I waited.

1. I am an actor. I mean, I guess I'm an actress but I don't really see the point in having two different words for the same thing. I've wanted to be an actor since I was three. Everyone told me I would change my mind but I didn't. So fuck the haters. Besides, if you've wanted to do the same thing since you were three years old, that's pretty much conformation that's what you should do. Acting is my passion, the word passion is not even a little bit strong enough to describe my feelings. It burns like fire, I want to do it so badly. I HAVE to do it. It's why I breathe, it's why I get up in the morning, it's like AHHHH. Ya know.  Acting is just the best, sometimes after I do it for a bit I feel a little bit high which is pretty cool. I'm currently a theater major, just finished my first year of college and I feel like a much better actor than when I started. I'm a character actor, I like to create characters in obsessive detail. I like to lose myself in a role. I also really like comedy and making people laugh. Basically what I want to be is a Tina Fey/Meryl Streep hybrid. So yeah, that's a big part of me. I want to be in movies, I'm planning on moving west after college. We'll see if/how that works out. P.S If anyone with powerful connections stumbles across my humble blog and wants to send me off to fame an fortune, feel free to leave a comment!

Starting at the very beginning (yeah I went there)

Well hello!
You're reading my blog! That's great!
Not only are you reading my blog buuuutttt....
It's the very first post!
I swear, if I had a balloon I'd give it to you, but I have a terrible fear of things that gently float.
I made a blog because I thought it would help me to become a better writer. And because I have a lot of thoughts, and if I've learned anything from the internet, it's that anytime you have a thought, EVER, you have to share it as many places as possible with as many people as you can.
So
Here's ten things about me. It's gonna be in 10 blog posts.
(P.S about the weird spacing, deal with it.)

Love,
Beccalah
