I figured I would take this moment to introduce myself
and give a little background information....
I'm a 26 year old woman.
I currently live outside Reno....
(though if the past is any indication, that could change at any moment)
I've always been an aspiring writer
Though I cannot claim to be a practicing aspiring writer...
Call it terminal writers block.
Or lack of motivation.
Or a physical inability to put words to paper due to an innate fear or failure and rejection.
Or maybe my muse(s) simply took a nap.

I was born in Florida.
I was raised during my childhood in a suburb of Chicago until I was 10.
I was uprooted to the Middle of NoWhere, Michigan
where I lived until shortly after my 16th birthday.
I then lived in Florida, again, until I was 21....
Since I turned 21 I've lived in the following places..

Killeen, Texas
Phoenix, Arizona
Surprise, Arizona
Glendale, Arizona
Reno, Nevada
Sun Valley, Nevada
(and currently) Cold Springs, Nevada

I've been employed in numerous industries...
I worked for a restaurant in a theme park for 5 years
wherein I (inanely) attempted to promote myself professionally, in my ever limited capacity and well beyond my unfortunately under-educated grasp (but I enjoyed every moment and allowed the experience to set a professional precedence in my
life that has yet to be reached by any other company)
I've sold cars and eventually specialized in secondary credit...
I've done merchandising work for a large home improvement retailer..
I worked for a well known credit card company...
I've bar-tended at a bar that could be your local watering-hole
(if you lived in a place who's claim to fame is the largest trailer park in the country..
or the highest concentration of convicted felon, that is)...
And I've been unemployed for the past nine months.

I've been involved in numerous relationships..
Each unique..
All of which failed for a multitude of reasons.
I have a strained relationship with each of my parents..
Both for different reasons.
I have a few friendships which I hold dear to my heart
Also for various reasons...

I drink.
I smoke.
I have admittedly done myriad drugs at various points of my life
All for different reasons...
Or no reason at all.

I am an avid believer in the power of love
and have lived my life in the pursuit of it.
I have made some questionable choices in my short life
with some problematic results...

However.. I choose to live my life sans regret...
I will never deny a lesson learned
But I refuse to feel remorse for decisions
that I have willingly made.

I find humor in the world around me...
I'm politically inclined...
and often inspired by the perseverance of the under- dog...
I'm creatively neurotic
And enjoy exploring outlets for it...

I simply hope to impart my own view of the various aspects of this world...
It may sometimes be veiled in sarcasm...
Or alarmingly emotional.
Sometimes whimsical,
and often absurd....


After all, I am unique...
Just like everybody else.
