Us in Fragments of Life

One thing that’s made it a bit hard to tell my story is not knowing where to begin since there’s so much to tell, but then I remind myself that the best thing to do is just write about whatever comes to mind and not worry if I’m going in any particular order or not.

That being said, I think I’ll finish describing the others and myself. I’ve already described Michelle and Angela so I guess now I can move on to Jamie. She’s Angela’s wife and she’s the least bright of the four of us but definitely the best cook. It’s basically her only skill but she does it exceptionally well. She’s kind of on the flaky side and between average and pretty. Definitely not someone I’d ever seek a relationship with if I were single because she’s not my type on the inside or the outside but she’s a fine roommate. She’s almost like a sister to me.

She’s a couple inches taller than me so that would make her just over 5 ft. She’s slightly plump and has auburn hair to the middle of her back and gray eyes.

We all have different color hair and eyes. I’m a green-eyed blonde. The only difference is that my hair is straight as a pencil. The others have wavy to curly hair.

Okay, so now you know we come in all shapes, sizes and colors and from all over the country. Well, Angela’s from Germany. Michelle is from New Jersey and Jamie is the only Cali native. She grew up in the Bay Area. I’m from the southwestern desert and now we’re all going to finish the 20 to 30 years we have left in San Diego.

I don’t think much of my life before I met the others because ever since meeting them I realized how mundane and unimportant it was in many ways. It wasn’t bad but I didn’t realize just how stagnant it was until we all met. I’m more than just grateful that we met but almost relieved when I think about it because the older I get and the more I learn about life in general, the more I realize I could have been dealt a very different hand in life. One that could have been much, much worse and for that, I am eternally grateful. I have never had to worry about love or money in the last 30 years and that’s a great thing even though my life is far from perfect. I have some health conditions that get pretty annoying at times.

To me, there are pretty much three aspects of my life with the others. Michelle’s apartment, then the house we lived in from 1988 to recently, and then the house we’re in now. I’ll write about those places in another entry.
