Occupation
i love my job. I work with Service Dogs. I care for them, feed them, clean up after them, medicate them, bathe, whatever they need. i'm starting to learn to train them, too. best job i've ever had, and i'm going to keep it for a long long time. Thanks, Jess.
Kids
I don't want them. not out of my body, or anyone elses. i wouldn't be a good mom, and i would probably pass on some horrible genes, too. it's not that i hate kids, but they fit nowhere in my life. dogs do.
Siblings
I have two little sisters. Mandy is 23, and Tia is 11. both super smart, pretty, and fun. none of us have the same dad.
Pets
Aries, aka Boppy is my 6 yr old Siberian Husky, and one of the loves of my life. i would do anything for that dog, and she wants nothing to do with me. Corey Feldman is my 8 yr old grey Tabby cat. mean little shit. super spunky and healthy and strong and will live 40 yrs. I want lots of dogs and guinea pigs, but that will never happen cuz the dogs i like eat guineas. But Corey is the last cat i will ever have.
Partner
Casey is so awesome. we've been together 7 years. we also dated when i was 18 and he was 20, but 20 yr old boys are awful, and he was no exception. now that he's a grown up, he's great. I would marry him in a second.
List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life
1. work. my boss broke her leg so i am at work at all sorts of weird hours all the time. i miss sleep.
2. my mental stability. it's getting bad again. lots of anxiety and depression. i'm seeing a therapist regularly again, tho. so embarassing.
3. i don't have a lot going on really.
4. i bought a car.
5. dyed my hair neon yellow. looks more green.
Parents
My mom is 49 and lives in White Bear Lake with her longtime Bruce. She won't marry him until he quits smoking. Bruce is good. he's been kinda like a dad. Mom.....oh mom. i don't no where to begin, and if i do, how do i stop? She's had addiction problems in the past. been clean for 10 years so i am proud of her for that. but it's taken a toll on her. She's not always "all there". and it;s really frustrating. we have a complex relationship.
My dad died in December 1980. not really sure how, cuz nobody can seem to give me a straight answer, but i have my guesses. it was kept from me for a long time, so there is a lot of anger there. i was 8 months old when he died. I would have loved to have known him.
Some of your closest friends are
i havent been seeing any of my friends lately. actually, when i read Kristinas version of this, i cried. I miss her so much. i hate that i have a weird schedule, and hate even more that my brain is keeping me from being around people. especially her. I think about you all the time.
Casey is my best friend, but i have some other great ones, too, if i ever get out of this rut again, and they can forgive me. Danjohnson, joe and jess, jim, and pogo, anna and ryan, ian, terry and susan and many more. i'm sorry.
Extra
i'm a punk rocker. love dogs and animals a ton. addicted to reality tv, and plan to be a non smoker at age 30.
