piece four

"all i wanted at the time was to fit in with the guys and tomboy. so i sacrificed barbies for knee pads and a goalie mask to play street hockey. i even learned the game of football between 5 people and i thought i was pro at catching those little, foamy footballs. i realized there was more than barbies, "house" and "school" and it was nice to go outside in the fresh air. then i entered the world of video games. Sega Genesis, to be more specific. And Mortal Kombat, to be even more specific. i always wanted to be like my brother.. i listened to the rap music he did, even to this day i wonder if i'm doing things for me, or because my brother's doing it. out of both of us though, i am definitely the trouble maker and the one whose probably caused the most family kerfuffle's, as most teenage girls do."
