Good news! I'm going to school! YAY! I took my placement test and as predicted, I aced the English part of the test and also as predicted, I bombed the math. I'm so bad at math I have to retake PRE-algebra. Shit! I remember learning that in freakin' MIDDLE SCHOOL. I learned it and I forgot it so a lot a good it did me (for the kiddos that are probably NOT reading this, math is needed in the outside world. Otherwise you end up being a school bus driver like me and having to pay to relearn everything you should have already known by graduation). Anyway, I'm pretty excited to start school. Who knows, maybe I'll find more time to write. After all, I do write best when I'm supposed to be doing something else. That is how three of those stories down there got started.

As for other events in my life; on the bad side, I've been officially diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, which basically means I need to take "Happy Pills" (God, sounds like something out of 'Brave New World', no?) and pay someone to listen to me talk. Hopefully things will get better. On the good side, I've finally gotten a job that I can honestly say I love as a school bus driver. I love kids and now I have a lot of them. Unfortunately, I do not get 8 hours 5 days a week (and I'm lucky the days I do) but the pay is good and again, I love kids.

I also recently taken a fascination toward 2012. I don't think anything will happen out of the ordinary, but I do find all the theories flying around like crazy are very interesting and now friends and family say I have an unhealthy obsession with it. Personally, I don't see what they're talking about. Nobody mentiones my obsession over the TV show Supernatural and that's a WAY bigger obsession.

General Info:

I’m a vertically challenged almost albino girl with dark hair and dark circles under my dark eyes. Probably from lack of sleep which I consider a total waste of time that could be spent reading. I usually dress in tried and true jeans and tee-shirt combination. Add my BDU jacket and that is what I look like.

Real Name: Why do I put this here if I'm not going to tell you? Good question...

Age: currently 22. If you notice when this changes, that is about when my birthday is. And remind me to stay far away from you, Stalker!

Gender: Am I too manly to be a girl or too girly to be a boy? That is the question.

As far as favorites go; I love Terry Goodkind’s books and will read anything of his that’s set in front of me. I like some of Steven King’s novels but much prefer his essays and recommendations (Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams). I think Dr. Seuss was a genius and have his whole collection. I don’t watch TV (the one exception is Supernatural which I have to watch as it first broadcasts. It is my holy religion, so bite me) because nothing keeps me interested long enough to keep me watching more than a season. Favorites of anime include Cowboy Bebop, Yami no Matsuei and Fruits Basket in no particular order. My current favorite movie is Blood Diamond.

Music: Currently listening to classic rock almost non-stop. Blame Dean. I used to not care for it... but then again, I was never really exposed to it until Dean... Oh AC/DC, Kansas, Queen, Survivor... (the list goes on and on and on) how I love thee!

Food: I like to eat. However, my taste buds seem to be changing (I used to hate carrots, now I can't get enough. Welcome back eyesight), so I don’t know what I like and don’t like. I can however say I still hate quiche and blue cheese.

Sports: I like to swim and do it a lot.

Hobbies: I play the piano, read, write (obviously), watch movies, critique movies, make movies, get on youtube, think of interesting things to do to people I do not like and talk about myself (hey, I know a lot about that subject, can you really blame me?). Did I mention I like movies?
