About me - as of October 24, 2005
Well, what to say about me? I’m a 35 year old recent widow [ugh. I hate that word.] and mother of 3 of the most beautiful babies you’ll ever see. Really, I’m not prejudice, everyone says so! *g* I’m often heard saying that I’m far to young to have a teenager, but truth is, I love the fact that my kids are older now. And not just because I get to sleep in whenever I stay up all night. Like I’ve done tonight, because I’m working on this for you. Sheesh. You really should appreciate me. Really.
All kidding aside, I’m usually a fairly open person - here behind the safety of my screen. In person I’m a wallflower, and very shy. It’s somewhat a disconcerting mix, really. I don’t do well in places with tons of people, although I have been to gaydays in Disneyland - *and* my best friend loves to force me out of my comfort zone. One thing I never shy from, however, is protecting my kids.
I graduated with a BS in Graphic Design in 2004 at the grand old age of 34 years old. It’s a beautiful piece of paper, and I’m very proud of it, and my 3.9 final gpa. Damn physics class stole my 4.0. I do website graphics primarily, though I have dabbled in other areas. I can’t draw by hand worth shit, but I love to manipulate and photoshop for hours on end.
All of my kids are very creative as well - and I *love* that. I live for the day they take my job from me, and support me in the manner in which I want to become accustomed. Hee.
I’m fat. Not just “big boned” but fat. Eventually I’ll decide to do something about it. Until then, well, I deal.
Does anyone really every read these things??
I started my first incarnation of this online journal back in…. 2000 or so. It was on open diary, and i don’t remember the exact date. No blogversery celebrations for me! This has been the longest I’ve ever kept any form of diary, however. It’s seen many, many different versions, from open diary to graymatter, to moveable type sometime in 2003, and now here. I’ve gone sometimes more then a month without a post, but all in all, i’ve been pretty consistant. I’ve every post on disk somewhere too. Kind of frightening, that.
I’ve always communicated best through written word - though not with flowery 5 dollar words, or anything profound. I’m just me - and quite frankly, you either like me, or you hate me. THere’s rarely any in between and I really don’t care either way as I’m very close with my family. And I have my kids, and my best friend. I don’t turn away other friends, but well, take me as I am. If i change, when I change, it’ll always and forever be on my own damn terms.
I don’t pull punches, either.
At least, not hidden here behind the safety of my screen. Hee.
