Ah, nothing like a meme to mimic an attempt to post
1. First Name: Tori
2. Age: 31
3. Location: Northern California
4. Occupation: Teacher, coach for all-star cheer, writer
5. Partner?: Not at the moment
6. Kids: None at the moment, and I still think I want them, but 35 is my cut-off
7. Brothers/Sisters: Three sisters, all younger, best girls ever
8. Pets: Two cats that live with my parents
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
01. Money. For real. Need it to pay off debt and save up.
02. School. Major issues going on there, for which I am severely stressing daily. And I'm starting summer school next week, while simultaneously ending the regular school year.
03. Me not having much of a life. Really need to do something about that.
04. Cheer. My protegee is still cheering, but I'm not the coach of the team she chose to be on, which is a team that can't qualify for Worlds, and so it's big in my life, but it sucks because I can't be part of the coaching staff for her team.
10. Parents? Love them to death. They are fantastic, funny, supportive, understanding. They raised the four of us right, and I seriously want my dad to write a book. About anything. He just knows stuff. Common sense, book smart, life smart. He used to say he was perfect when I was younger, but as I'm older, I actually am believing it more and more. My mom cooks up a storm, always great, loves us and will do anything for us.
11. Who are some of your closest friends?
Ben: Best friend since high school. We just reconnected after not keeping in touch for five years, which I'm immensely glad for, because his presence is desperately needed.
Pepper: Met her online, she's the best friend I never had. My sisters had friends that did the same things they did, had the same interests, etc. I never had that, but I do now, and boy, it is awesome.
Laura: Been best friends since we were three. Funny, sweet, a blast to be around, makes me get up and do things (work out, dinner, etc.)
