Who Is Chic?

Some Info:

On October 17, 1974 in a small town just west of Columbia, MO, a child was
born. She came into this world ahead of her two brothers. The journey was
rough and tumble from then to now.. but she is a survivor. Forever striving to
fulfill her dream of writing a novel, getting married, and raising her
own family.

As a child growing up in a small town, she knew her purpose. Life was pretty
straight line. She would get up each morning, go to school,
come home. Repeat until the weekend.
Come the weekend, she would go to the skating rink,
the movies, or to a friend's house.
Life was simple... and enjoyed.

Skip ahead a few years to high school.
No longer were things so simple.
She wasn't "cool" like the other kids.
She was an outsider. Not one that was bullied, so much as one
who was ignored. The quiet one in the back of the class.
She never said a word.. just read quietly or did her homework.
Come dances, no one asked her to go.
Come the weekend, no one invited her to the party.
She had her friends.. and good friends they were.
Each one an outcast like her.
Some of them strived to be accepted.
She didn't care. If They didn't want her in their crowd,
she didn't want them either.
To prom, she went alone. Both years.
At graduation, her friends and family were all who were there.
She was happy.

After high school.. something changed in her.
No longer was she the quiet, shy girl who graduated.
She was Free. Free in a most peculiar way.
No longer were there guidelines. No longer were there schedules.
It was Great!
She had a job, an easy one. One that paid for what she needed.
So, she found her New friends...
and her first boyfriend. That didn't last long, though.

So, she found another group.
She got in with the party crowd.
And love her they did. They were like family. Gathering each night to hack.
Going out to some country road to party.
Such fun... But like all fun, it had to end.
Five years, she partied. Five years she lived.

Then she met Him.
The one least likely, the missing piece in her life.
They made the best couple. Everyone knew they would last forever.
She loved him more than words could express.
But after five more years.. it all crumbled...
He started treating her like shit.
Always told people "I am Not going to marry Her." Like she was so bad.
The only words to escape his lips in her direction were "Bring me a beer. Shut Up. You're stupid."
and the occassional mumbled "I love you."
So, she left him.

For the last year, she's hanging in there.
Kicking it with her friends.
Playing on her Xbox.
Going to concerts.
Going dancing.
Chillin'
Single and HATING it.
And that's the honest truth..
or Most of it anyways.
