Here I am again
It's hard to believe I'm doing this again, but it's even harder to believe this is the last season of LJIdol. I've participated for the past five seasons, met a lot of stellar writers, made some friends, and, basically, enjoyed myself. Many of you already know me, but, for those who don't, I'll do my best to give you a bit of an idea of who I am.
I'm Shannon, 33 from Michigan. I can hear people repeating it. "Michigan?" Last season, I lived on Long Island. Before that, I was in Texas, but, in the summer of 2012, I moved back to Michigan where I was born and raised.
I share my home with my partner of almost a year, two dogs, and, of course, the Winter Solstice Cat. One must never forget the feline. You know the horrible winter we're having? It's all due to the wrath of this very aptly named cat. Just ask those who know her. Her power knows no bounds.
I'm a voracious reader, a High Priestess of the Feminist Dianic tradition, an audiobook reviewer, and a sometimes writer. I have a Master's degree in clinical social work with an emphasis on mental health. I'm a strong advocate for those who struggle with chronic mental health issues. I know some of what they struggle with, since I've battled similar demons most of my life.
So, that's a bit about me. I look forward to the start of the season.
