Let's analyze me for a moment...
Yes, I'm selfish and it's all about me. It is my blog after all. I started blogging mostly for therapeutic reasons, so we're going to take a trip back to that, and because you follow me or stumbled upon me you get to come along for the ride.
I'm a young female college student. I grew up in a family with a mother and a father, an older sister, a younger sister, and two younger brothers. I grew up dirt biking, camping, shooting guns, skiing/snowboarding, skiing/wake boarding, playing Zelda games and Supersmash Brothers, and playing MMORPGs. I took Tae Kwon Do, learned German, played on a boys soccer team, learned to weld, and fell in love with math and physics. When I got to college I joined the Army ROTC, competed in the Ranger Challenge Competition, and dabbled in Brazilian Ju Jitsu. I'm a tad violent, and I wrestle with my younger brothers. I am aggressive, competitive, confident, and protective. If someone threatens my loved ones, I feel threatened and I fight back.
Normally you would expect this lifestyle and these behaviors from a girl who grew up with at least one older brother if not 3 or 4. Well...I had none. I'm a bit mixed up aren't I? But why? What could cause a young girl with no brothers at all to tell her mother that she is finished with ballet, tap, gymnastics, and baton? What would possess her to beg her mom to enroll her in Tae Kwon Do and soccer?
Cyberspace, I want answers! Why do you think I'm this bizarre person?

I think it's just the awesomely divine nature Heavenly Father gave you.

I'm totally on the same page here, Whit.
No older brothers. And an undeniable love for the rough and tough.
Honestly, does it matter? I wouldn't have you any other way. You're prefect just the way you are, you still dance, you still do girly things (moreso than I can say for myself :P). I'm the same way, but then again, I have 4 older brothers... But I'm pretty sure I'd have been the same way too.
