I hate starting bios, I never really know how to start them o_O;. Ok, now that that's over with lol, here are the basics.

I live in a big awesome house with 7 other people including, but not limited to: my boyfriend-(Zapper), my pet rabbit-(Buttercup [Butters]), my pet cat-(Ziti [ZiKi]) my mom-(Mom), my brother-(Kirbmaster), my cousin-(Aki), one of the "original" roommates-(HS [it's just easier to abbreviate his name, trust me ^.~]), my own personal bodyguard, aka, Aki's boyfriend-(Kettch the Mighty), and his trusty assistant pet cat-(Data [Cheeks] the Big), and the other guy-(Whatever [yes, that's really his name]).

All of that is important as my journal will revolve around my life which mostly revolves around all of them *points up* and, of course, the rest of my family, RK family, and friends and all of the drama that comes with it all. My journal will also include examples, pictures, and stuff from the many and various forms of art that I do such as (but not limited to): drawing, painting, photography, poetry, videography, playing the piano, celtic whistle, and harmonica, cooking, doing computer graphics, modifying my house, and gardening.

I am a survivor of severe abuse since childhood of just about every kind. No pity. No shame. No silence. Even though it could have left me bitter, I have chosen instead to let it make me strong. I'm very open to talking about my past, but at the same time I'm not loud about it. The abusers won't win and I am a victim no more.

I was born with and suffer from a chronic, degenerative, debilitating genetic defect called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It limits me in some ways, yet frees me in others. We have a love-hate relationship.

I'm a vegetarian who leans towards vegan in my own personal cooking. The thought of slaughtering an animal that lived a life (if it can even be called a "life") of nothing but abuse and pain in a meat factory greatly disturbs me. If Animal Planet's shows about dog and cat and "pet" abuse really bother me, why wouldn't meat factory abuse really bother me?

I was forced (^.~) into having a myspace (pshh who wasn't/doesn't?) and I also have my own personal website that has a lot of my artsy stuff on it. Check them out if you're into that sort of stuff.
