Food and Traditions

Every night when its close to supper time someone in the house will cook dinner. We always have some type of meat usually beef of come kind and a starch. Personally I think that we need to start putting more vegetables into our dinner meals. We don’t usually eat together for many reasons; our family on a normal basis has ten people and during get-togethers it can be more than twenty, our table is to small along with the house to always have extra tables, and not everyone eats at the same time because of their work and school schedules. I suppose one could say that our suppers are quite plane and boring.

Community

Libraries are communities because so many people go to them. people go to libraries to read books, do homework, study, play computer games, do research, or just socialize with some friends in a quiet place. This community is always there for those that want to join it or just come to see what its like. There really isn’t any thing that causes tension in libraries as a hole but in small parts. Not having a computer to do research or do homework could upset some one to the point that they inadvertently take it out on others. The only other think that I can think of that could cause a problem is not having the books needed or wanted.

Personally I fit in to this group in many ways; I like to read books, study, play computer games, do research, and hang out with my friends in a quiet understanding place. The ways that I fit into this community are the reasons that I want to be a part of it .

what's in my purse

There are many things that can be learned about me from the things in my purse. My CPR card, first aid card, and blood donor card show that I care about the well being of those around me. From these it can be assumed that I’m in or am working towards the medical field or that my current or previous job required these items.
My drivers license shows that I can drive with out having any problems. The bus pass that I have tells people that yes I can drive but I would rather take the but. Some one might think that I prefer the but because I can save money on gas, car insurance, and car payments but this isn’t so. Now if they went with it helps keep the environment clean and makes the roads less congested then they would be right.
Chap stick is to keep my lips moist and healthy while the hand sanitizer is to keep my hands clean and healthy. The handkerchief is to help stop bleeding or to cover a cough or sneeze with. The medical care tells people that I like to stay healthy as well. All together some one might think that I’m a health freak, my discount card for vitamin world might also lead to this conclusion. This fact is only partly true because I’m not that bad I just don’t like getting sick.
There isn’t much that to say about my inhalers. The only reason why there isn’t much to say is because there is only two things that can be assumed about them. Some one could come to the conclusion that they are in my purse because I forgot to give it back to the person that I was holding it for. The second assumption that could come to mind is that I have asthma which would only be partly true. I do have asthma but its not normal asthma that every one refers to, its actually sports induced so I can’t play sports or run very much.
An earpiece for my phone, paper, and pen are important things that are in my wallet. When I have to drive and answer my phone I put my piece in so that I won’t break the law and I can still have my hands free. The pen is helpful when you need try write something down or sign a paper that you were given. The paper helps if your hands are already full of writing, you need to give some one some information, or some thing to mess with while you’re waiting. Many people would just think that I’m a talkative person or that I like to be prepared which is partly true I do like to be prepared but I’m not talkative.
The card organizer that I keep in my purse keeps things in order which is important to me but it also holds most of my cards. My debit card is there so that I can make purchases when I have some money if I ever do, its hard to buy things when you don’t have a job. The membership cards for Hot Topic, Borders, and Costco are good things to keep so that I can get a discount when ever I can, which helps when you don’t have much money. The contact cards for Big 5 and CafĂ© Neo are in there so I don’t lose them and always have them on hand. Most people would think that I have the membership cards because I’m a money pincher which isn’t totally fair under my circumstances, where as having the contact cards they might think that I’m forgetful or that I’m an airhead which isn’t true either I just don’t like having to worry about getting the number or name wrong.
There are only three things that I keep truly loose in my purse and those are, metal nail file, mints, keys, and gum. I don’t like being locked out of my place of residence. The mints are so that I can keep my breath acceptable to those around me when I have to be in close quarters to them and the gum is so that I can keep from grinding my teeth. While the nail file is so that I can keep my nails in order so that others don’t get hurt by my carelessness. Whom ever would end up having to look through the purse might think that I don’t brush my teeth or that I have very bad breath on a regular basis. They may also think that I’m preppy or a neat freak for having a nail file in my purse, its actually from an instructor that I had at my trade school.
From the information that they could get or even assume about me would only so a small side of who I am. They would only get to see the responsible, careful, and serious person. They wouldn’t get to see the fun, energetic, friendly, and carefree person that I can be when I’m around my friends or by myself. They would miss the caring and protective side that I have when I know that some one has upset my friends or family, in a sense they would miss all but a small fraction of who I truly am and can be.
