***I WON'T ACCEPT A FRIEND REQUEST IF WE DON'T TALK***





[ver 2.0: 062408]

there's been so much going on, so i thought it was a good time for a brief update on this portion of my page. if you know me, or even if you don't, most people refer to me by my last name: rubia. which is pretty hilarious because it translates into blonde in spanish, which means its my birthright and I'm entitled to be perpetually ditzy. I spent a larger portion of this decade working for the public defender's office, and I had a wonderful opportunity to meet and help a large amount of people ranging from minor cases to very serious cases. It was truly a gift to be a part of a couple cases that redefined my views on justice and forever altered my life.[<3 DV] June of this year, with a heavy heart and a hard decision I recently left that office to work at a toxicology Laboratory, mainly keeping my family in mind. As dysfunctional as my family (blood or otherwise) may be - I love them all very much. I am dedicated, dependable and always available for whatever is needed and I find comfort in the fact that it is always reciprocated. The older I get the more I can relate to what Kanye said: people in your life are seasons and anything that happens is for a reason. K-Sin has been one of the ultimate motivators in my life. She's helped me drastically with my self image, but the long and short of it is that she is a huge asset to my life and I love her for it!!! Erin, Quetta and Kati keep a smile on my face and remind me that life is fun and funny as hell simultaneously. I count my blessings everyday for all the crazies that creates my world - without them, there really is no me. I have loved, lost and been through more than you can imagine in my short time on this planet but I don't regret anything I've done and I'm well aware that I'm not a perfect angel (I also don't pretend to be). I acknowledge that I've hurt some people who have been really good to me, and I've been hurt undeservedly as well. But everything does happen for a reason and sometimes things don't make sense, but in the long run they will. I don't dwell, I move forward. I learn from my mistakes and keep it pushing, always trying to be the best person I can possibly be. I live a relatively quiet life and I hate drama more than anything. Some people like clinging to their anger and holding grudges, but life is way too short to be angry all the time. I forgive and call it good because it is what it is. People are infamous for being quick to judge but slow at looking at their own issues. I know who I am and I am my own person. I know what I do to myself and how my actions affect the people around me and I've come to terms with that. I'm getting too old for the trivial nonsense and control, and I hope other people outgrow that soon because High School was a decade ago...this is the present. Moving on, I have a few fixations in this life and they are (including, but not limited to): my rainbow assortment of chuck taylors, M.A.C. Cosmetics, sportscenter, Video Games (wii, 360, ds, psp, etc.), rain, NFL Football, music, spooning (yay team blackapino!), my CrackBerry, vs p!nk, movies, snowboarding, l.a.m.b., blogging about randomness that matters to no one but myself, starbucks iced quad shots of espresso with white chocolate and caramel sauce (thanks Erin!) and tattoos. My most recent was not pandas dancing down my arm but I love it all the same. I love the west, I'll be here as long as I can, hopefully surrounded by all of my favorite people. A while back someone asked me what three things I wanted to do before I died and all I could come up with was to live, laugh and love. Because at the end of the day it's not what you did, it's how well you did it. Thank you for making it this far in my rambles, I appreciate you taking the time out for little old me and the two minutes of your life you'll never get back. (:

my personal outlook: Life's way too short to be unhappy all the time: I'll pokerface it and play the cards I'm dealt regardless of whether its a losing hand or not.
