Introduction Hi, I'm Becca and this is my blog. I usually just write about my day, usually getting reflective and philosphical along the way. I like sharing my insights and world view with others. I'm a very honest person, almost to a fault. I like to spend time with my 15 rats, 3 cats, and of course my mom and little sister, Ginny (her real name is Natalie, whom I live with. Right now I'm on the transplant list to receive a new liver. I suffer from the liver disease PSC and also Ulcerative Colitis. I have other diseases and problems as well and all these things keep me at home, usually in bed. But that's okay because I get more time to pursue my interests! I love writing stories and am currently working on a long short story/novella named 'The Master Painter'. As far as religion goes, I'm a Christian, but probably a lot different than most of the Christians you've met.

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?

No! That's a koosh ball, you idiot. I don't want to hurt a fish. In fact, I'd rather not touch on at all.
