I'm a high school student, in my final year. My friends don't go to my school so I only manage to see them once or twice a week, but it doesn't seem to matter - we've been friends almost 10 years now.

OOoooh cool thread!
Okay me -- When not online ... I have no life. ![]() Okay, when not online I am a university student studying psychology going for my BA with Honours and a minor in English. (I'm a 2nd year student - almost 3rd year) I live in residence and across the city from my family (and the family animals - 2 cats and 2 dogs - pictures in the gallery if you're interested). I volunteer at my university's chaplaincy and thats actually where I met a lot of my friends this past academic year. Lets see - I read, I listen to a LOT of music (favourite is new country), I love watching movies and television and I love being anywhere where there are animals. Oh and I love going out with my friends to different places - but I also like doing a lot of things by my lonesome (I'm an ambivert - neither introvert or extrovert). I don't like to clean - but I do like to do the dishes. I also don't like to (and can't) cook - but I do love to eat!! And just for the heck of it - I live with a physical disability (called Spina Bifida) where I use a wheelchair as my main mode of transportation. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I am estranged from my daughter and son and grandchildren and try not to worry about it. They'll come around one day I hope. I worked as a cashier for 20 plus years , then in a rec centre teaching 3-5 years olds for a couple of years What a wonderful time that was) and then becausse of more hours available left to manage a long term care facitlity in a hospital housekeeping , for another couple till last year when after looking after my mother and stepfather and their deaths I took what I thought would be a short break but I am still not working. I am on the pc but not a lot and trying to be consistent so I can be supportive as well using this site for my support.

Hey everyone. I am 44 and a mother of 2 wonderful sons (16 & 10). Professional business person working alongside high tech engineers by day, I am upgrading to get my Purchasing Manager degree, which is funny because with all my certificates, I only graduated with my high school degree last month. But, the stress is great so at night or weekends I spend my real time with my boys, handsome lover, little dog and 3 budgies. Oddly enough some of my friends consist of drug addicts, alcoholics and reformed from prison and I realize I like their company because they are more real than the corproate world (no, I don't have any of those vises). My corporate friends don't know about my street friends and visa versa. I spent 10 years as a sculptor and had many shows and sold many peices. I've written a lengthy novel (not published) about a woman who finds her strength under adversity. I've owned 7 little businesses but my favorite was a archery/sporting goods store which failed (but what a ride!) I used to live in a big house on a hill, overlooking the city of Vancouver, but now I live in a garage that is redesigned to be a little two story house, surrounded by trees and smelling so sweet. I have never been happier having shed all those useless material possessions and emotional pretense. I really like where I am now. Thanks for letting me share.

Hi, I'm a 30 year-old storm chaser who farms to pay for her hobby, or at least it seems like it. Farming isn't very lucrative. I have seen over twenty tornadoes and have looked up into a funnel. I have a picture of a lightning feeder channel about six feet from me and another of a steam cloud created by a lightning stroke.
I also have a BA in history and a MA. During the process, I decided I enjoyed the freedom farming offers. Sometimes, I have substitute taught. I like to garden and travel. One of my favorite cities is Vancouver. It is pretty, but I could never live there because another hobby is cross- country sking. Winnipeg is more to my liking. I am also active in a church. One of my worst problems which people here have helped me handle is I was born an interesex with parts of both genders. I was raised as a boy, tried to kill myself, when my body began to feminise at puberty, and took male hormones untll they made me sick. When I quit, my body began to change again. A chromosome test showed xx female chromosomes, so now I am getting used to many drastic changes after minor surgery. Given what they put me through over the years, I have a visceral dislike of doctors and therapists, though it is irrational. During my life, I tried to kill myself three times, but I feel better now. As Rob Thomas sang, "I'm not sick, but I'm not well." Basically, I'm pretty happy. |
