They Call Me Lizzie

My full name is Alisha Kathryn Workman, and I was born in Fort Worth, Texas on February 4th, 1991. I am a Catholic, but disagree with a bunch of the teachings, so when I'm not around my parents, I say I believe in a higher power and that's that. Politics drive me crazy, so don't try to talk to me about anything political. I really couldn't care less. Anyway, I lived in Texas for about three months before moving to Omaha, Nebraska where I lived for three years. After Omaha, we moved to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, stayed for three years, then moved to the middle of nowhere, Great Falls, Montana. Following the pattern, we stayed there for three years and then moved to hell-on-earth, Newport News, Virginia. Why do I call it hell-on-earth? Because I spent two years at a horribly racist school (I couldn't sit at a certain section of the lunch table because I was white and would get made-fun-of all period), and one year at a Catholic school that had a really fucked up cirriculum and teachers who told their students "I give up on you. Go sit down." Finally, things got brighter when we moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. We stayed there for, not three, but six years! I was lucky and only attended one school, instead of two or three as I did previously, for high school. Yay for being an Air Force Brat!...

My dad is a retired Air Force major. He attended the Air Force Academy in Colorado and has been stationed here in the US (obviously) and in Greenland and Doha, Qatar. His most exciting job was in Doha, as the head of security for the Doha Asian Games, their version of the Olympics. My mom was originally a kindergarten teacher, but one day decided she wanted to work with the elderly and is now an Occupational Thearapist at a Skilled Nursing Facility in North Carolina. She is the mommiest mom you will ever meet, and if you do meet her, come with an empty stomach because she's also extremely Italain and has to feed everyone all the time. I have an older brother, Ryan, who is a senior at the Air Force Academy. Ryan is a super athlete, having been a top player in football, baseball, hockey, soccer. basketball, and cross country/track. He was born on leap year, so is technically only 5 years old. Also, he had his private pilot's license before his driver's license and hopes to fly the A-10 warthog fighter jet.

Now back to me...where to begin. I don't really like talking about myself like this...I used to be an athlete, trying volleyball, cross country, ice skating, and lacrosse. Girls' lacrosse is probably the dumbest sport ever, because there is zero physical contact and there are so many rules against everything...I was kicked out of a game because I made an "angry, vicious sound" when checking a girl's stick. I'm sorry I released breath when properly checking someone. The sport is lame. I used acting to get out of sports and when I got to middle school, I finally had opportunities to do so. I did my first play when I was 3 (Sneezy in Snow White), but I never lived anywhere where there were any opportunities to explore theatre until middle school. I made up for my lack of theatre in high school when I did a total of 15 shows all four years. I love theatre more than anything. Performing gives me such an awesome rush that I can't get anywhere else. Acting is all I'm good at. I literally can't do anything else....which sucks because this is the worst career to not have a back up plan for.

I think that's all you need to know for now and I'm pretty sure that took up way more than 200 words, so there you go. :)
