About Me
Posted on May 26, 2007 - Filed Under General |
I was born in 1982 in Southeast Missouri. I grew up here, with the exception of a few summers in northern Illinois. I was home-schooled due to religious reasons, and raised in a rather strict Fundamental Christian family. I was involved in the Evangelical Christian lifestyle for most of my life, until I moved away from home, and was encouraged to take a good look at my beliefs. You can read more about my journey away from the religious lifestyle here.
I am happily married to a wonderful guy. He has helped me through a lot of self-induced craziness, stayed by my side through my bouts of unfaithfulness, and been instrumental in helping me become an open-minded person. I love you, baby.
He and I made the decision to not have children early on in our relationship, a decision that was probably the wisest we have ever made.
I've been working at a local ISP since 2002, which is something I have both loved and hated. I am currently the technical support manager, as well as working with online bookstores and forums owned by the company. It can be stressful and frustrating at times, but it pays the bills and leaves me with plenty of vacation time to help with the inevitable burn out.
I am currently attending a community college, in order to complete the basic courses and credits needed to move on to a larger school for my degree. My career goal is to work in Funeral Service, preferably as an embalmer. My degree will be in Mortuary Science, which has been a fascinating field for me for quite some time now. I've always been interested in all things morbid, from serial killers to the process of decomposition. It sounds like a strange thing to be interested in, but it's one of the only things that has been able to hold my interest for a long period of time. Well, that, and blogging. :)
I love to blog and surf the web, probably a little too much. I find an odd pleasure at seeing my words on the screen, and knowing that I am part of a subculture of sorts. Don't get me wrong, there are many other things that I love to do, like watching good movies or losing myself in a good book.
I don't have many friends, but on occasion I do like to go out. I love alcohol, especially good wine. I love to try new foods and beverages; I will try anything once!
I like attention, but I also have a lot of social anxiety, so you won't find me starting conversations or making small talk with people I don't know unless I am drunk off my ass.
Well, that's me! If you want to know anything else, please feel free to ask!
