So, yesterday, I was so consumed by my moral dilemma, that I felt the need to come home and start a blog. In doing so, I completely skipped over the standard introductory entry. Here we go!
I'm 26 years old, born and raised in Rochester, NY. I'm currently studying to become a Medical Assistant, and get to start my internship next month, which will hopefully lead to a whole new career. And more money.
I've spent the last 3 years supporting adults with developmental disabilities, which, while very rewarding, also wore me down and affected my mental and physical health. I love all the people I supported to death, but the politics and management in the agency took a huge toll on my health, and I developed anxiety, a relapse in depression and stress. All of which lead me to jump back into school, and actually complete a program.
I love to knit. I learned how from my grandma, who showed me how about five or six years ago. I haven't stopped since. I run a little business called Knit Terrors, where I knit horror related goods (dolls and such). It's very time consuming, but I love it, and I've met a lot of great people because of it.
I have a great boyfriend, Chad, that I met at one of my first horror conventions. It's my first long distance relationship (he lives in Maryland), which kind of sucks, but he's absolutely worth making every effort to make it work. We do a pretty good job so far.
I have an adorable year old Holland Lop bunny named Charlie. He's the cutest thing ever, he's very smart and makes me laugh daily. He also likes to drive me crazy and makes as much noise as possible...especially when I'm sleeping.
I have a few really close friends that I don't know what I'd do without. They mean the world to me, and I truly feel like I would be lost without them. We have so much fun doing absolutely nothing, and tend to laugh ridiculously hard at the stupidest things.
I am obsessed with, and collect nun figurines, owls and nail polish. I never leave the house without makeup. My purse, ipod and phone are always with me. I love taking photos, but I usually hate being in them. Mostly because I hate fake smiles. If it's a genuinely happy moment, I feel that it definitely comes through, as opposed to putting on a happy face because someone wants you to. I love Halloween, and think that it's the greatest day of the year besides my birthday. I love music, and most of the time I have a song running through my head. I love movies, especially from the 70's, but I will watch anything no matter how cheesy or stupid. Most of the tv shows I love either aren't on anymore, or are British. I love winter only because it means I get to wear scarves and gloves. I'm quite shy when I meet new people, and have a generally quiet personality until you really get to know me.
This year has been exceptionally great for me and I have such high hopes for the future. I'm at a point where everything and anything feels possible.
I guess that's me in a nutshell.
