More memery - getting to know you (or me)
LOCATION:
Brisbane, Australia
OCCUPATION:
Admin officer for the Queensland Police Service
PARTNER:
None. I wouldn't mind one, but I'm kinda getting to the realisation that I don't really know how I'd live with one. I was thinking the other day I could handle being like an Army wife, where they're there for a bit and then away for like 9 months. That could work, lol.
KID(S):
None, thankfully. I've never really liked kids, they make me uncomfortable. They're small and noisy and smelly and energy suckers (no joke, spend time around kids and they suck the energy right out of you, because they have no concept of the fact that they shouldn't). And they can't talk properly. :P
BROTHERS/SISTERS:
I have one full brother, Phillip, who lives up in Mackay with his girlfriend and family.
I have one half sister who was born before I was and adopted out by my mother, so I have no idea about her.
I have a raft of step-siblings from when my dad married again after my parents got divorced, but I never liked them and never kept up with them.
I have one (or maybe two? not sure) half-siblings from the same deal, and again never met them or kept up with them.
PETS:
None :( I live in an apartment, not allowed to have pets.
PARENTS:
My mum lives up in Townsville. She's a nurse, has been all her life. Generally speaking she's okay though she doesn't deal well with emotional issues (so I have learned over the years not to call her when I'm upset) and she spent an awful lot of time when we were growing up searching for the right religion. These days she's settled on her own brand of spirituality/New Age-ism.
My dad lives up in Maryborough but I don't have much to do with him. He wasn't the nicest person, in fact was abusive when we were growing up, and though I hear he's mellowed out in his old age I don't really have any desire to be closer.
WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS?
Karen
John from D&D
Some people I chat with online (
soul_trapped_horror , silentstephi from LJ, John from the Deus Ex forums)
I don't have a lot of friends, and generally speaking I don't like people. I'm a bit of a loner and have social anxiety, so don't make friends easily and if I do tend to lose them when they make plans to go out and I cancel because I can't go out in public.
HOBBIES
Gaming - video games and pen and paper. I play all sorts of RPGs - D&D, Mage: the Ascension, Star Wars D20. I'm also a DM. My favourite pen and paper ever is Vampire: the Masquerade. I've been playing it since the mid 90's. My oldest character ever is a bad-ass Sabbat bishop Toreador anti-tribu with Tzscime leanings (Vissicitude FTW!). Oh, and she's worked her way up to 5th generation. Booyah!
Writing (though I'd love for that to be my job, not a hobby. But then again I need to be much more disciplined at it). I used to be a fairly prolific writer, though fanfic only. Then I got a couple of big knocks to my confidence thanks to people's comments and criticism and just plain stopped. Then I looked back and realised I hadn't written anything for 6 months and freaked a bit.
Occasionally I do a bit of needlecraft and sewing - I can embroider, and have done mega cross stitches in the past. I made a plushie Hanar for a D&D friend's new baby and I keep meaning to make another one for myself but putting it off.
LIST 3 - 5 OF THE BIGGEST THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE
1. Work. This is the number one biggest thing in my life, only because it's 24/7 shift work, not because I love it. If I'm not working, I'm sleeping.
2. NaNoWriMo. Seriously the more I think about why I'm doing it, the more I think I'm fucked in the head. Having said that though, I need to write.
3. SKYRIM!!!!! (also another reason I think I'm fucked in the head for doing NaNoWriMo this month)
4. Ummm... I'm going up to Townsville to visit my mum in a few weeks. That's kinda big!
Oh look, done just in time to go get ready for work. >.>
*edited to fix the div error which fucked things up, a bit. grr.
