It may be a tiny bit too early in the AM for this much writing, but I have a lap full of warm kitty and enough coffee on the table before me to fuel a jet plane, so why not start this now?
This should carry me right into NaNo November.
1. Introduction and recent photo
I have never gone by a pseudonym on the internet. My real name is Heather. I'm 25, which continually blows my mind because I KEEP FORGETTING THIS despite my birthday being back in April. Then again I kept insisting it was 2012 until about March so clearly my judgement is a little, well, off.
I've been a nanny since 2011 (she turns THREE in December, guys.) which is the most joy-filled job ever. I'm currently corrupting her into loving autumn and I'm experiencing zero amounts of remorse in doing it.
The boy and I live together and things are good. He's currently furloughed which is incredibly less good, but he's also been happier than I've seen him since probably the first summer we were dating.
He needs a job he loves. So help me if he dives head first into another job 'he can do' I may hurt him.
I have a Siamese cat and he has more personality in his old body than ten pets put together.
This past spring I started taking courses in Communication Disorders and Deaf education because I plan to apply to grad school for next fall in Speech-Language Pathology. I've been learning a lot of anatomy and physiology and it stresses me out how much there is I need to memorize. This is why my little sister is applying to med school (holy crap she is going into medicine. she turned 21 make life stop!) and not me. But the rest of the material is all things I already love: child development and the English language.
I haven't been writing nearly as much as I would like this year but I still plan to do NaNoWriMo next month. All I know about it is that my main character is a cheeky bastard and she doesn't care that her awesomeness might overwhelm people. I get the sense I will need so much coffee this go around.
My current fandoms are Star Trek AOS and Pacific Rim. With a side-order of gushing over Peggy Carter's amazingness. I miss HP more than Merlin and I still dip my toes in MCU whenever I need really fantastic long fic.
TV wise I'm watching: Sleepy Hollow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Almost Human when it starts next month. Otherwise hockey and football dominate my screen.
Things I've learned this year? I suck at keeping a clean apartment but I still really want to own a house of my own. I've been looking at house porn. I can physically describe my somewhat achievable dream home.
I also may end up moving to Georgia or the Canadian border before this time next year. As you can see this puts a lot of long term planning on hold until Gregg gets a new job.
Legitimately this is the only photo on my phone with me in it so everyone will just have to wait until I get home for a proper one.
