✏ Insight on Kenna Larson
Describe yourself in five words. Let’s start off with the positive, shall we? It’s been said that I am outgoing and witty. Which never hurts; especially I’ve also been said to be emotional and stubborn. It kind of evens things out. But if I had to chose one word to sum me up I would have to say free-spirited. Technically that’s two words. I cheated with a hyphen. Sue me, I’m an English teacher.
Describe your childhood. I have a very big family, and I lived in a not-so-great neighborhood surrounded by every single one of them. It was great always having someone to play with growing up, but they all regarded school as one big joke. I would have to hide the books my mother bought me with her tip money and read them under my covers. On special holidays she’d buy two copies of one book so we could read it at the same time. Our own little book club. I’ll always cherish those memories.
How long have you lived in your current neighborhood? I moved here almost one and a half years ago after splitting with my fiance. He was a great guy, but I just needed a change. I needed some excitement.
What are you known for around town? If you’re new to town, what do you want to be known for? I would like to think that I’m known for my stimulating conversations, but that’s probably not the case. Maybe I’m known for my sense of humor? This might sound weird, but I’m aware that some of my quirks are amusing and I don’t do anything to hide it. I guess I’m a little self-deprecating and I love to tease my friends right back. I think the greatest sign of friendship is two people who can always crack each other up by poking fun at one another.
What’s your biggest regret? My biggest regret is saying yes when my ex proposed. I was so young and my family expected me to say yes to get a better life. He was established and he could give great things, but there was no chemistry. I didn’t love him.
What’s your biggest dream/hope? I’m going to kick myself for saying this but hopefully to find the kind of love I used to read about late at night under the covers. That’s half of the reason I moved out here. I want a love affair that can rival the one’s belonging to the great fictional women I always looked up to.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Honestly, hopefully right where i am. I love my job and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. But maybe in five years I would start considering the possibility of a family.
What misconception about yourself would you like to clear up? That I’m dramatic. I have to disagree with that, but I’m sure my family and friends say it’s spot on. Maybe I’m just very honest and raw. My reactions are real. What you see is what you get.
Who do you rely on? My mother above everything. She’s worked so hard for me to be able to get where I am and I owe her everything. Also, my friends are my support system and I’d be nowhere without them.
Biggest guilty pleasure? Reality Television. But I’m a little shameless about it. Someone tells me they watch Survivor and I will stop what I’m doing and expect a 20 minute conversation about the show. I’m a TV junkie. People say that’s ironic because I’m a bookworm, but why can’t I have both?
Name a fact that everyone should know about you. That I love astrology. I’m going to ask you your zodiac sign and spend the rest of our relationship seeing if it’s accurate. I’m also a hopeless romantic as you can probably already tell, but I try to keep that on the down low. I have a reputation to uphold. Also I garden, do yoga, and make jewelry. Oh wait, you said one fact …
Kenna is a chatterbox and she’ll strike up a conversation with almost everyone. She’s always a little flustered at least once a day because she’s lost something. Her classroom is a complete mess, and she has to try extra hard not to lose her students paper. Her entire life she’s been a shoulder to cry on and that’s not going to change any time soon. She’s a free-spirit who’s mind goes a mile a minute. She needs adventure and that is something that’s hurt her in her previous relationships.
