(DA) A little (or a lot) about me

I am a 25 year old creative writer. And I've recently been told that makes me "closer to 30 than to 20", which makes me laugh.

I am a dabbler, meaning I've done almost ever kind of job I can think of and tried almost every sport. I am an actor, model and facility manager. I enjoy winter and summer sports including but not limited to: Snow skiing, water skiing, paint ball, squash, archery, curling and bowling. 

Whenever I can I like to walk, run, bike or roller blade wherever I go; which are very hard to do in the winter. I like skating but I don't skate as much as I'd like to. 

I'm a daughter, a sister, a wife, best friend, friend, confidante and the co-owner of a 13 month old Golden Doodle named Washburn. 

I'm a Nerd. 

I enjoy TV and movies and some of my favourites include sci-fy, fantasies, comedies and romantic comedies. 

Everything makes me cry; Gladiator, Finding Nemo, Tim Hortons commercials, Homeward Bound... Sometimes I get embarrassed by how much I cry. I also laugh at everything. I love to laugh, sometimes I laugh so hard I cry. 

I went to school to become an Actor. During school I realized how much I liked working backstage and set my sights away from acting before realizing that I really like designing. It was a tough adjustment when I realized I'm not a very good designer, but I did learn I'm organized and creative and love working with people. I graduated with a focus on Theatre Management. 

I love to doodle which is why I started the Weekly Art Club on Facebook. I love to write, so I joined Duelling Amateurs and because of my love of movies and TV I write for ALTERNATESCREEN.COM.  

I love to read, but I'm a very slow reader which is why my "to read" pile is always so big. I feel like I never make a dent in it.  

I started my first novel in grade 9. I now have 7 novels in the works and 10 short stories. Two of my short stories are published in books, 3 more are published on line. I have 3 stories published on line in the Fan-Fiction genre. 

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 16 when I went blind in my right eye. 

The main character of my first novel is based off of the person I used to wish I was. As I grow up, she develops, but her core is a person I have always striven to be. 

The main character of my second book is based off of the person I feel I am; strengths, weaknesses, broken bits and everything. If you read it very carefully her powers affect her much like MS has affected me.

I am scared of the dark. 

I have a phobia of Zombies and hate squishing spiders almost as much as I hate seeing a spider on the wall. I also struggle with blank pages; I never know what to put on them.

One of my favourite feelings is to feel wind rush through my hair. My least favourite feeling is greasy fingers; I eat pizza with a knife and fork. 

I have the best family and friends any one could ever ask for; we throw the best parties and events.

I love the smell of peppermint and fresh laundry and love the taste of blue raspberry or watermelon  candies. 

If I have to choose between ice cream or cake I'll always choose cake. If it's ice cream or pie, I'll always choose ice cream.  

If I'm asked if I want whipped cream on a desert or drink I'll always say yes. 

And if you ask me for help, I will do whatever I can for you.
