A bit about me - I'm from Kansas and now live in North Carolina. Here for J's job (wonderful husband of 7 years). We are here for a little while longer, but not sure how much longer. I like it. Actually, the main thing I like about being in North Carolina is the fact that I'm on the east coast. I feel like my childhood was robbed from me and that I should have grown up on the east coast somewhere. I don't know why. I just love it.
My hobby is too expensive to do on a regular basis. I love to travel. I think that's why I enjoy being here- it's so easy to travel here. I'm 10 hours away from Disney World, 1.5 hours away from the nearest beach, 5 hours from DC (my favorite city, by the way), and about 10 hours away from NY. I really enjoy learning about history, so this is a wonderful area to be in. I plan on going on a Civil War battle grounds tour soon that covers all of the battle grounds in the area. I can't tell you how excited I am.
I've only been out of the country once, and that was to Ireland. If I was wise, I would save money to go over to the UK, Germany, Italy, etc... instead of spending it on local travel. I just really like to explore the country and area I live in, though.
I also like fashion. I don't necessarily reflect the fashion I like, but I have a strong appreciation for it. I think of fashion as an art form.
I like the idea of being fit. I honestly am not fit and want to work on that. I want to be fit for two reasons-one is reasonable and the other is vain. The first is that I only have this one body and it's already messed up all on its own (scoliosis and infertility), so I don't want to add unneeded stress on it. The second is that, as I said before, I like fashion. I don't like my body type (apple), and I feel that in order to wear the fashion that I like I have to be in shape. Yay.... So why am I not in better shape? I like potato chips...and ice cream...and cake...and fried foods....and movie popcorn.....and sleeping. I'll document how I do.
Speaking of movie popcorn- I love TV and the movies. I do consider myself to be part of two fandoms. The first is Supernatural. Now, with this one, I'm about 85% in. I have gone to two conventions because a friend LOVES Supernatural. I agreed to go to the first once because I thought it would be a fun girls weekend. Um, it was. I have many stories from that weekend in Dallas. This is really what got me into Supernatural. I liked it before, but was really into it after the convention. I haven't seen every episode twice and know everything, but I'll happily be part of the fandom. The other fandom that I'm 100% in is Marvel. I won't get into it now, but I love Marvel movies. I know, I'm lame because I'm not so into the comic books, but I see it as a different art form with different stories.
I love my friends. I came from a small family, and I consider my friends to be part of my family. Especially in J's line of work that takes us away from family, I think it's important to make new family. John and I hope to have kids eventually (I'll get into that later) and I want to make sure the kid(s) have a strong support system wherever we are. I think this is why it hurts so much if someone misuses my trust or is two-faced.
Finally, a post about me wouldn't be complete without saying that I have 2 kitties. They're adorable and really easy going. They're cool. That's all.
