Who I am...

My name is Samantha Jo Berry. My daddy named me and I love it. However, apparently, an Austrailian rock climber has it too and I get a lot of Facebook requests from random people. I'd like to meet her one day. My mom and dad are amazing...they're still as much in love today as they were the day they got married, and I think that is pretty darn special. I'm the middle child of 3 girls and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm the only one blessed enough to have a big sister and a little sister. The best of both worlds. I love my Lord and Savior so much that sometimes it physically hurts. Mostly it hurts because I still don't understand how He can love me so much despite all of my flaws.
My favorite bands (currently) are The Cab, Paramore, and of course THE Taylor Swift (also know as T. Swift to me....because I think I'm cool enough to call her that). Music is pretty darn amazing and I've never met someone who didn't fully agree. I'm not musically inclined, though, and I find that pretty unfortunate. I would really love to learn to play the piano because I tried guitar and it hurt my fingers. Pansy? Yes.
I grew up on 80 acres of land and I despise living in the city. It's loud and smelly and I miss the stars and listening to the coyotes howl at night. I used to have my very own goat ranch and I know you're really jealous of that. I'm a freckle-face which is ok until they multiply in the summer. Not cool. I'm pale...naturally and irreversibly. I've heard all the jokes: Casper, Snow White, fluorescent, ghostly...but my grandmommy used to tell me I was lily white and covered with angel kisses. So beat that.
I'm one of "those Twilight people". Besides the Bible, I have never read such a beautiful example of pure love. That was kind of a sissy thing to say. I'm really not usually like that. Only recently have I become a romantic and I kind of like it. I'm not going to say I'm different from most girls because all girls say that, thus making us all the same in our habit of "being different". It is irritating and hard to keep up with. So, I am just me and yes that does include girl-like tendencies. I am easily irritated, and I have decided this is because of my Irish-blood. I have been known to have rage blackouts and speak without thinking. This is a problem for me. I'm not someone you want to argue with because I don't play fair. However, I do not enjoy arguing. Confrontation bothers me immensely. Thus, I am sweet to people I cannot stand in order to avoid any drama. I may not like you but I sure as heck want you to like me.
I love getting good grades and I am easily upset when I don't get an A. I really don't see this as a flaw. I am a horrible driver. I've already destroyed 2 vehicles...whoops. I enjoy mail...real mail. I love it when people come up with random nicknames for me and I enjoy giving people random nicknames. I love the way it smells right before it storms. It smells like a mixture of rain and excitement and I love it. I am a summer girl. I love everything about it. The heat, the trips, sno cones, late nights...it's all amazing.
If you act stupid, you will irritate me and I will walk away and pretend like I do not know you. There is no excuse for intentional stupidity. FYI...this does not impress a guy and if it does then that is not a guy that you want. Mmmmk? I also hate baby talk. Unless you are talking to an actual infant or toddler, do not coo or giggle. This is not necessary and only makes you look foolish. As you can see, I am quick to judge. Sorry about that, but the above still stands.
I was in FFA in high school and I love it and I still "believe in the future of agriculture". I am a healthy person. I rarely get sick and I have to be close to death to go to the doctor. However, I have had some really odd ailments and injuries. I have had shingles and I broke an ankle by falling through a trampoline and a foot by slipping on a magazine. The shingles are because I stress out really easily. I used to get panic attacks often but have since learned to control them.
Oh! By the way, I am a Red Raider! Wreck 'Em Tech! I am very proud to be here in Lubbock though I did hate it at first.
I am an 80-year-old woman trapped inside a 20-year-old body. I enjoy going to bed early, waking up early, coffee in the morning but not after 8 p.m., gardens, reading long and substantial books, playing cards, talking about "the good ol' days", sending letters for no particular reason, old-timey music, comfortable shoes, rocking babies to sleep, cooking for lots of people, cleaning for company, and talking with complete strangers. I am going to rock being old, because, honestly, I already do. Old people love me. I think it's because I am "one of them"!
I am disgusted with the education system, the welfare system, the judicial system...oh wait most all systems. Less government...more power to the people! That's what I say. I am NOT participating in this recession. You have fun saving your money for no apparent reason only to have Obama snatch it away. I am going to stimulate the economy and have fun doing it. With that being said, I am praying for Obama. I really do hope he becomes exactly what this country needs. I think he has the potential to be an amazing president and I, personally, love the fact that he is a minority. I think it's time this country unites as Americans and not as black, white, yellow, purple, whatever. We are on the verge of another civil war and that's not something we can survive. Off the soapbox now.
I have some really awesome friends and family. I am very blessed. I have an innate fear of being forgotten and/or abandoned. It has kept me awake at night before and still continues to do so from time to time.
I hate guacamole. Don't put it on my plate....I will send it back. My favorite foods are grapes, sandwiches, and cereal. I'm just that simple. My favorite color is green and I really can't explain why.
I believe that everyone has the power to change the world. I believe that my cousin is already changing it. He doesn't believe that but one day he will. I believe that Taylor Swift has the loudest voice of our generation right now and that she could change negative attitudes if people would just give her a chance. I'm older than her and I already look up to her and I so does my little sister. I'm glad she hasn't succumbed to the horrible things of this world. I'm proud of you without ever having met you, T. Swift.
Well this is me in a nutshell...I'm pretty random. I don't know what I want and I sure as heck wouldn't know how to get it if I did.
