: About Me

there is so much to write about, but writing about myself is something that causes my keyboard to stick. i am shy, but share a lot. i am not tall, but i see more of the world than others. i am not that old, but i understand how the world works, enough to care and respond accordingly. i work to pay my bills, a never-ending stream of bills, but i also chose to stay because i like my workplace. i went back to school and slog through grad school because i believe it's a life stage. all through chaos and a rough ride in life, there is one thing constant: i cooked and ate and slept my way through. i believe i have claimed only a wee bit of what my life has brought me, because i am always asleep. not that i care, but i guess it's a very peaceful way of responding to the unsavory part of existence. i am much more bearable after a nap, and people i know appreciate that very much.
