I have dreams of Orca whales and Owls.. In Books.
the BASICS
Name: Tabitha
Age: 26
Gender: female
Likes/Talents/Hobbies: Likes: Chocolate, warm snuggly beds, my family, days off, a hot bath and a good book, music of all kinds, dancing with my daughter. Talents: Singing to my daughter, producing breastmilk, spellcraft, wasting time on flash games. Hobbies: Digital scrapbooking, facebook, role playing games, very amateur photography of my daughter.
Dislikes/Pet Peeves: Dislikes: Bratty people, people who have children but treat them like garbage, people who yell at cashiers and other people in the service industry, cold feet, waking up, having to go to work. Pet Peeves: Wet pants or other slightly damp clothing, when clothes I just bought turn out to be poorly made, answering the phone but its a telemarketer.
the FAVORITES (and please try to explain why)
Color(s): Black, because I find it calming and it goes with everything. Dark green, because it makes my auburn hair shine nicely.
Movie(s): Hmmmm... I don't really know. I like fun movies, such as most comic book based films of the last five years, and I like serious movies, such as Girl, Interrupted. I also like poorly dubbed kung fu movies.
Music: Right at the moment, I'm really digging Abney Park, because I'm hardcore into steampunk in all its glory. I also loooove Regina Spektor, and I really get nostalgic when I listen to music from my young adulthood and teen years, such as Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, and Good Charlotte.
Book(s): I LOVE I Was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block. I think every teen should read it at some point, as well as her Weetzie Bat books. They really put some things in perspective for me, and they highlighted some rather serious issues that are hard to deal with by one's self. For fun, I love the Harry Potter series, and I love most of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.
Food: General Tso's Chicken with White Rice, and chocolate. If chocolate counts, lol.
Animal: Cats of all kind, they're just gorgeous creatures and I admire their spunk and spirit. I also love Ravens and Crows, because they represent some important things in my spirituality, and I listen to their wisdom.
Season: Fall. I hate being cold, but I hate being hot. I love the smells and colors of fall, not to mention the harvests.
Quote/Saying: "Stories are like genies...They can carry us into and though our sorrows. Sometimes they burn, sometimes they dance, sometimes they weep, sometimes they sing. Like genies, everyone has one. Like genies, sometimes we forget that we do.
Our stories can set us free...When we set them free." ~ Francesca Lia Block
the PERSONALITY
What are some of your positive traits? Compassion, self awareness, temperance, patience, silliness.
What are some of your negative traits? Anxiety, forgetfulness, laziness, being a pushover.
How do you view love and relationships? Love is important, but it's not the most important thing. Humans are social creatures, and we need to forge relationships of some kind. Most of us have trouble accepting that we can be alone, but it's not until we realize that we are beautiful and special just as we are, alone, that we can find the perfect someone who will be there.
What are your some of your goals and dreams? To one day live in Ireland, to make a better life for my daughter than what I had, to be a good mom, to finally figure out what I really do want in this life.

the HEROINE
Describe your personal style: Mommy. I work at a boutique, so I have to kind of dress nicely, but most of my clothes are black and disposable.
Describe (briefly!) your ideal romantic partner (or if you’d prefer to be alone, explain why): Sweet, passionate, powerful, hilarious, clever, outgoing, friendly, slightly wicked.
How do you overcome obstacles and hardships? Slow and steady. Keep going on. Love and stay patient.
Where would you most like to live? (this may include houses, locations, climates, etc.) Galway, Ireland. I don't care what kind of place.
What kind of heroine do you think you would be? No idea... Hopefully a bold one, who still has time for her family while going on awesome adventures.
Which heroine do you think you’re least like? I'm honestly not even sure what the choices are.
Is there anything else you’d like us to know and take into consideration? I like pie?
