Some Tidbits of Me

I kinda wanted to show off a little about me and what I love. I'm going to go away from the super depressive stuff today and think on the positive side rather than the negative.

When dealing with depression I often find it hard to do things, but knowing that someone or something relies on me really helps me get out of bed in the morning.

Personally I absolutely adore animals, big small, furry, scaly, I love them all. I am a constant volunteer at a local animal rescue here in the city, the rescue is called Amazing Grace. I tend to photograph many of the four legged friends that walk through the doors of the rescue. With doing so
helps the animals get adopted much faster and find their paws into a loving home.

Here is a picture I took not too long ago of a wonderful dog named Zephyr. He is one of my favorites at the rescue and my favorite pooch to snap pictures of.

His background is kinda rough but you wouldn't have guessed it by that adorable furry face of his!

 I love having the ability to spend so much quality time with the animals and volunteers that work at the rescue every day.
My senior year of high school I ran my own little fundraiser called "Paintings for Pets" I sold many paintings and raised $200 for the rescue. I had the honor of being interviewed and was on the front page of the paper about me helping the rescue by selling my paintings.

Some of my favorite things to paint are animals. 100% of any proceeds I have made from my paintings have been donated to the Amazing Grace Animal Rescue.

These three cats are some of my favorites, from left to right there is Valentine (deceased), Stella (Adopted), and Zipper.

Another thing about me is my general all out geeky/nerdy ness. I love adding all the nerdy to my house. I currently just finished decorating my bathroom in Star Wars.

. I love to cosplay and have been learning all I can on how to perfect my cosplaying. I have recently been able to bring my sister into the geeky world as well. We recently went to Almacon this past summer as Lady Loki (Me) and Poison Ivy (Sister).

Something New

Welcome One and Welcome All.

Step right through these doors into a world of.... okay in reality there are no doors you're walking into nor is there a world I am showing you. What I will be showing you is random stuff throughout the year of me.

In all honesty I have 0 experience with blogs. So if my fuck ups in blogging amuse you be sure to follow!

Today marks the opening of my blog. In reality it's an exciting event (at least for me). One that I hope will prove to be rewarding in a sense (bring on the moola!).

 I am opening the blog to give me a place to relieve my stress and show off my creative sides.

I wanna show off some paintings and crafts and some pinterests fails. But I also want this blog to get serious. I suffer with severe depression and anxiety and this blog will be a way to help me get through all that. After all, writing is one of the best medicines. Maybe I might even be able to help a few readers out there deal with their anxiety and depression as well so win win!
I'm not really sure how this all works. I guess the best way for me to do it is to start the blog and learn as I go. After all that is what i do best.

A little about myself....
I am a current college student headed into dental, I will have my associates in science in a few years (YAY!). I have a guinea pig named Meadow (pictured below) she is an adorable Peruvian/texel mix (although the texel doesn't show).

 Isn't she adorable?!

Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions on how this all works.

Until midnight

xoxo
