Okay, so I'm gonna go off on a little tangent here but before I do that, I want to make sure that nobody misundertands what I'm about to say. I am not hating on any aspect of myself, I am being honest about who I am and how I am. So nobody go off on me about anything like that mkay? :) Continuing...
I have come to the realization that I am probably the most average person on the planet. Like really. I am not really bad or really good at one thing. I am average height and an average weight for that height, I am not terribly unattractive but I'm not gorgeous either. Again, I'm not hating on myself or my appearance, but I'm really not the prettiest or ugliest girl in the world. There are plenty of women out there who are waaay more attractive than I will ever be. And I'm okay with that haha
Then there's the smarts, I am pretty intelligent in both school type things and also in real world smarts, but I'm still kinda air headed about a lot of things. Not stupid, but not the best by any standards. That goes for all my other Navy stuff too, I was never the best at boot camp, A School, ECS and I'm guessing it'll be that way here in Virginia and Bahrain too. But I'm not bad at what I do, I pay attention, learn and can effectively use all the knowledge that I am given.
Compared to my family, it doesn't seem like I could really be related to them. My mom is the...well mom. She does all the housewifey and mom type things perfectly and also balances being in charge of the gymnastics program where she works. She's also musically gifted. My dad is the one who knows everything, he researches and finds out what needs to be known. He's also really freaking good at what he does as a technical manager at his job. He's my go to guy, my rock. My little brother is incredibly intelliegent and a whiz on everything technical. He can literally look at a piece of sound or lighting equipment or a computer and within like 30 minutes, know it inside and out and how to make it work effectively. He's the one that the whole family goes to for technical support and advice. He's going to work for Disney one day and go far in the world. As long as he can fix his attitude of course. My sister is the arts one. She is a ballerina (and an amazing one at that), she loves to draw and write and paint and go anything involving fashion. She is definitely the girly girl and the pretty one in the family. If you put the two of us next to each other, you would never know that we are related, the diference is that big.
Then we have me. I'm short but fairly skinny, I have curly hair that looks like a poof because it's too short right now. I have a goofy smile, but it's genuine at least. I'm the tomboy of the family, I like sports (especially football), guns and don't mind getting my hands dirty. I can keep up with the boys, take it and dish it right back out. I love being in the military, and picked the toughest job that I could in one of the toughest areas of the world. I cuss, I yell and I don't act like a lady and somehow that's attractive to guys. Yea I don't get that one, but that's not the point haha. I'm the one that everyone expected to be one thing and I decided to prove them all wrong.
I love the way that I am, and I love my family, but sometimes it's weird to see how amazing they are and how completely average I am. Oh well. Just some random observations from a bored little sailor. Hopefully next time I post, it'll be a little more interesting.
Love from your favorite MA,
Victoria
