I am not a normal little irvine kid. I dislike unconsiderate shoppers, people sitting alone at lunch, riding my bike in HUGE open streets (it just freaks me out), talking about my true feelings to people in "real life", everybody not caring about the environment and the thing I hate the most is TEXTMESSAGING. Yes. I know I am weird.
