jadedmusingsSo I figured since I'm not attempting NaNoWriMo this year, I'll do this November Meme thing instead.
Day 01 - Introduction
I'm a twenty-nine year-old single mother. Born and raised in South Carolina, I now dwell in the beautiful Appalachain Mountains of North Carolina about an hour or so outside of Asheville. I am a college drop-out who has dreams of going back and completing her degree. The only problem is, I'm still struggling to decide what sort of degree I want as well as finding a college. Right now I think I'd just like to go back to work.
I have a handsome six year-old son who is the best thing to ever happen to me. He has a developmental language delay and a mild fine motor skill delay, but neither of these have hindered his ability to excel in school. He loves to read and, when he doesn't realize I'm listening, he enjoys singing. He's also a Gamer Geek In Training and is very eager for Christmas to get here because he's been promised a Nintendo DS of his very own.
For the last couple of years I've been dating![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ninjaweazel AKA Sam. We met on IRC via the Returners FFRPG community nearly five years ago. How we went from being role-players to friends to lovers is a long story and, in some ways, controversial. It's a story full of heartache, uncertainty, and love. He's part of the reason I moved to North Carolina, the rest of the reason being that I simply needed to get the hell out of South Carolina. Our story is weird, but our relationship is incredibly strong and the healthiest I've ever been in. We make each other laugh and he gives me a strong shoulder to lean on when I need it, even if I'll never admit to it. In many ways I feel that this relationship is It for me. Even should we fail, I don't think I'll ever feel like this with anyone else and I'll be forever grateful for the time we've had together.
My son and I share our home with two cats and a dog. Prissy was first adopted by my family when I was about thirteen years old. She'd been found by the local lake with a fish hook in her upper lip and we adopted her through the vet's office that treated her. Before my father passed away two years ago, he was her human and now I'm her human. Yes, she is about sixteen years old and still plays like a kitten. In some ways she's ageless. The other cat, Jack, was adopted via a cat rescue group back in January. My son picked him out and I learned he'd been adopted once before and brought back, possibly because he is a very active kitty who, unlike Prissy, loves going outdoors. As for Sasha, a Chow-mix, I found her on the side of the road on a very cold night around March 1, 2009. She weighed six pounds, was soaked ot the bone, and easily fit into the palm of my hand. I later found out she was only about six weeks old and to this day I have never figured out where she might have come from. I only know that she would have likely died the night I found her had I not brought her home. Now, at almost two years old, she's a fifty-pound bundle of hyperactivity whose kryptonite is a good belly rub.
I'm an intensely spiritual person, though my path and my faith are my own. Should you ever like to know more about me beyond the fact that I identify as a polytheistic pagan, well, you have to get to know me. I am someone who believes religion and faith (or lack thereof) are private matters between an individual and hir gods. You leave me alone to practice in peace and I'll do the same for you.
Other things about me: I am a pro-choice feminist, very far left-leaning liberal, a fat woman (and I mean that as a descriptor and not a perjorative; I'm not ashamed of my fat), I'm sarcastic, silly, and a wee bit crazy.
