| Introduction | Hmmm... I am 40-something, and still searching for my place in this world. Being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis has made that search even more difficult and confusing. I was always a very active and independent person. I never liked to ask anyone for help. I enjoyed accomplishing things on my own. Now I HAVE to ask people for help. This disease is very humiliating and disabling. I am trying to find a way to deal with all of this and continue with my life. I seldom have good days anymore. Each day has it's struggles, whether they be physical or emotional. I have been isolating myself from family and friends for different reasons. I feel like I am not the person I used to be and I don't want them to see how I've gone downhill. I don't want to burden them with my issues or discuss my health problems with them. I mean come on, how boring is that? Sometimes the pain is so bad that I don't feel like doing anything, or even talking with anyone. I have the need to let things out and this avenue gives me the chance to do so. |
| Interests | Photography, cooking, reading, learning something new every day, politics, festivals, wine... |
| Favorite Movies | Sci-fi, fantasy, dark comedies, historical dramas, quirky cult moves |
| Favorite Music | I enjoy many types of music. I used to be a big metal head! As I've grown older I've learned to appreciate many different genres. I mostly listen to any music that allows me to feel something emotionally. Some of my favorites are traditional Irish music, celtic, world music, ambient, and independent. I stay away from mainstream pop, rock, rap and country... |
| Favorite Books | I'll read just about anything! Here are some of my favorites starting at a very young age: Every Nancy Drew book, The Laura Ingalls Wilder books, Steven R. Donaldson, Anne Rice, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jane Austen, and looking for more to read! |
