Why do you think people would enjoy reading and commenting on your posts? Though I generally tend to write more when things aren't going so well, I do try to mix things up -- for my benefit as much as my readers'. I try to use good grammar and I can spell! I'm interested in many different things and I think my posts reflect that. Lately, there have been more photos included as I try to document the world around me, things that catch my eye whether large and important or small and mundane. I also post my artwork from time to time, which might be interesting to some.
Tell us about your life and what you want to do with it: I feel as if I am finally feeling comfortable and successful in life. I just got my MFA last spring, I have a job I truly enjoy, I just bought my first house, and I am in a relationship with someone I love and who loves me... it sounds idyllic and barf-worthy, but that's just the surface stuff. There's lots of turmoil, too. I want to continue on this path and just keep learning as I go. My dream would be to not have to work at all, or to work at home under my own auspices, but I am not sure I am that ambitious. ;)
If you could swap lives with a person for a week, who would it be and why? I'm not sure how to answer this question. I don't think that is something I would want to do!
Make up your own question and answer it:Q: Why did you decide to settle in Niagara Falls, of all places? A: Real estate is dirt cheap there, so we got a great house for a bargain; also I have a soft spot for the underdog. I'm rooting for NF to come back to life again and thrive.
Post 1 or more pictures of yourself here.
Here's a funny photo of me when i was 18, heading off to prom:
