Been to an NFL game? Several Vikings games - my mom used to get season tickets and I'd go with a couple games a year.
Been to Canada? Yes, as MN borders Canada, for camping.
Visited Florida? Twice - Disney World once and Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure once.
Visited Mexico? 4 times - Cancun twice, Mazatlan, and Playa del Carmen
Visited Vegas? Once, I was very grumpy the whole time, 0/10 would not do again. Just reviewed my entries, and I never did write about that trip to Cali with Haley.
Eaten alone at a restaurant? Define restaurant! Fast-casual, many times. Nicer sit-down, no.
Ability to read music? I used to be able to because I was in choir until high school and I played brass from ages 10-17. I can a little still.
Rode a motorcycle? I've been on motorcycles but not since I was a kid. Never driven. Done four-wheeling several times too.
Ridden a horse? Last time I rode a horse I was probably 17. My high school BFF owned horses until her mid-twenties so she brought me along on some horse adventures.
Stayed in a hospital? No
Donated blood? I go through phases of frequent donation and then dropping off.
Been snow skiing? I live in a snowy state, so yes, but not since grade school. I'm more likely to go tubing/sledding if anything.
Been to Disney World or Disney Land? Disney World, once.
Slept outside? Last time was... 2014? For an overnight wilderness experience with my school as a teacher.
Driven a stick shift? When I was 15, Rory taught me. Before that my dad would drive and I would shift for him.
Ridden in an 18-wheeler? My grandpa used to drive truck for a living, so he'd pick us up if he got a load from MN in the summer and take us back to Texas with him for a few weeks.
Driven a boat? I’ve been on a boat plenty of times, but I’ve never driven one.
Eaten Escargot? Nah, and I don't plan to
Been on a cruise? Nope
Run out of gas? Twice - I often seem to own cars with broken gas gauges XD
Been on TV? I mean, in the background of news stories, a couple times.
Eaten Sushi? Vegetarian sushi, sure, but not the real thing.

What's one small way you can become a better person in 2020? For others? For yourself?

What are you holding onto that's no longer serving you? Why are you holding on? What's one step you can take towards releasing it?

Set a goal for 2020 that excites you. Set a goal that scares you.

What do you want to be a student of in 2020?

1. Have you ever driven an electric car?
Nope

2. Do you live in an area that is prone to tornadoes?
Kind of, we are on the very northern edge of "tornado alley," the strip of the country that gets a lot of tornadoes from April-June. I've seen a bunch of green skies and twirling vortex clouds in my life, and went to the basement for safety in high winds several times, but I've never IN PERSON seen a tornado touch down and stay down. I've seen a couple where they touched down for a few seconds, but then receded. I've also seen one waterspout (touchdown on water).

8. What has been your most epic cooking failure?
One time in 2009 Steve and I were making a homemade taco pizza, which ended up being SUPER heavy with taco meat, cheese, olives, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. I went to take it out of the oven, I was unprepared for the weight of it and ended up flipping the ENTIRE thing over onto the oven door and bottom of the oven. Imagine hot pizza sizzling on hot oven (and my dinner delayed lol). I remember thinking that if I was still with Dan, it would have been a horrible nightmare where he'd have gotten mad and we probably would have fought about it, but Steve hugged me and laughed and teased me and helped me clean it up.

I read them as I'm filling out my own!

10. What's your bedtime routine?

Brush my teeth.

23. What's something you had to learn the hard way?
Long division, lol.

24. What sort of window coverings do you have in your living room?
SUPER old-fashioned custom curtains with a floral pattern that need replacing.

25. Has anyone in your life ever treated you abusively?
Parents, boyfriends, friends. I don't allow anyone to do so anymore though.

Partly sunny and moderate.

27. How long has it been since your last breakup?
9 years.

BASIC INFORMATION

NAME: Leah
AGE AND BIRTHDATE: 31; 19 November
LOCATION: Minnesota, United States

INSIGHTS: Yellow - Helping Inspirer (if you really want a good overview on my personality, go here)

HARRY POTTER HOUSE: Slytherin

YOUR LIVEJOURNAL USERNAME MEANING: It's my initials!

EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT
EDUCATION: Bachelor of Human Services in Community Violence Prevention and Intervention, with a focus on Family Violence; minor in Psychology (2010)
Master of Arts in Special Education (2017)
Master of Arts in Secondary Montessori Education (2015)

OCCUPATION: As of June 2019, I work at a Big 10 University in Technology Training and I LOVE it. Prior to that I was a Special Education math teacher for Middle School (loved the kids, hated the system).

OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY: Personal Care Assistant (PCA), Adult Mental Health Case Manager, Mental Health Behavior Specialist, Multiple Needs Para, 1:1 Severe-Profound Autism Para, Certified Nursing Assistant (Alzheimer's), Behavior Specialist in Adult Foster Care. Other/side jobs: GameStop Associate, Bath and Body Works Cashier, Skateville Cashier, JCPenney Young Men's Associate, Michael's Frame Shop Associate, Game Operator at Valleyfair! Amusement Park.

I have worked a lot of jobs because I want to experience a lot of things. ^_^

FAMILY
SPOUSE: Steve and I have been dating since May 2009. A long time. A GREAT time. He's the most amazing person I have ever had the pleasure to meet and be with. We click, we're good companions, and share a lot of passion. I am insanely lucky.

PARENTS: My parents knew each other since they were kids and married less than a month after my mom turned 18. They had me when they were 19 and 20. They have been divorced since I was 6, and I was relieved when they got divorced because it was awful when they were together. My mom remarried a man named Paul in 1997. My dad remarried a woman named Pam around the same time; they divorced 14 years later. My dad remarried a woman named Tammy a few years ago who is a much better fit for him.

SIBLINGS:

Full-blood sister (Bethany) 27 (who has a husband and two kids)

Half brother (August) from Mom/Paul who is 21

Half brother (Jack) from Dad/Pam who is 19

3 stepbrothers from Pam who, for all intents and purposes are my brothers and have been almost my whole life - James (37), Joe (36), and Adam (29).

PETS: I have two cats - brothers I have had since they were 6 weeks old (2007) and are now 12 years old. Grim is black and Nero (Habanero) is orange.

KIDS: I have no desire to have children. I ESPECIALLY have no desire to carry or bear children; the idea horrifies me to my very core. I don't like babies, generally, either. All my "kid" needs are met by my nieces and nephews, and of course through teaching and basically adopting my students.

IDENTITY AND BELIEFS
SEXUAL ORIENTATION/RELATIONSHIP IDEAS/BELIEFS: I am attracted to people as people, and I'm a nonmonogamous person who is with a monogamous partner. We recently went through two big situations over the course of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 as a result of never really having had any courageous conversations about my orientation, and I had relationships with a few other people long-term, rationalizing my behavior HARD by convincing myself I was in an open relationship without actually talking to Steve about it.

We went to couples and individual therapy, and we have worked REALLY hard on repairing the harm. We also do individual therapy, and now Steve knows everything I have done and with whom, and we're in a much more honest and open place. I feel empowered within my relationship because Steve isn't asking me to say I'm something I'm not, and he gives me the space to learn and grow within my nonmonogamy label without being threatened by it, even after everything we went through.

ABUSE/TRIGGERS: I have triggers of sexual assault and anything sad with animals. I grew up receiving verbal and sometimes physical abuse from my stepdad Paul. I loved him more than anything though until 2008, when I was raped. When I told my parents about it, I was met with blame and more abuse and it ultimately led to a huge falling out. My mom gave me a half-hearted apology in 2015, and Paul gave me a very heartfelt apology in July of 2017. My rapist apologized in 2013.

MENTAL HEALTH: I've been at a pretty good place the last couple of years - my low moods typically don't last longer than a month (yay!). I live in a world with a baseline of constant anxiety, but mostly at this point it's managing ADHD and dealing with my trauma. Mental illness has ravaged my family, with the most common being paranoia (including delusions and psychosis), anxiety (and OCD), depression, and abandonment issues.

POLITICAL LEANING: Human rights forever. I feel very strongly about taking care of people. You won't find any bootstraps bullshit here.

RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: Agnostic. My dad and stepdad were raised Catholic and my mom was raised in Scientology - she never practiced it as an adult but her dad did his whole life until he died in 2016, and her mom has tried out everything from crystal healing and tarot to being a Jehovah's Witness. I am afraid of dying in the sense that I'm terrified of losing my amazing life and I don't want to lose my consciousness (I panic about that pretty much every day, literally). I'm very nebulously spiritual - I sense the connectedness in things, I low-key believe in the healing power of rocks, the power of your energy/vibes, if you put out the energy for something, you'll get that energy back, etc.

DIETARY: Vegetarian for 5 years, considering addng small amounts of meat for nutrients and balance.

BODY IMAGE: I, like many women, have struggled with my body image my whole life. I am short and small as a whole, but I'm made of larger-style parts. One of my friends refers to me as "low-key fat" XD In my friends group I am affectionately known as being made up of traffic cones - narrow end appendages that get thicker close to my body. Think Patrick Star. I attract people all the time, and a few years ago it started to click and I have really made an effort to stop being hard on myself.

TATTOOS: Tattoos are a major part of my life and identity (in my tags: tattoo). I currently have 9 (10 if you include my soot sprites as separate entities even though they were later embedded within my sleeve). Half of my tattoos are actually cartoons.

Gir from Invader Zim on both my feet

Furude Rika from Higurashi on my back

A sleeve dedicated to Studio Ghibli on my left arm

The koi, Tui and La, from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

A small scorpion I got when I turned 18 (to represent being a Scorpio)

A poem for a friend of mine who died by suicide in 2009

The logo from the middle school I taught at

Birds and “Love conquers all” on it (from Disney’s Robin Hood).

I am an extremely non-regretful person over tattoos. I never felt sorry that I got that love tattoo when I was with my ex. It’s just a tattoo I have. I love tattoos, and I plan to keep getting them until I physically can’t anymore.

LEISURE AND INTERESTS
HOBBIES:

Knitting (I'm very good)

Reading (seriously I could spend my life reading and never talking to anyone again and I would be 100% content)

Playing A LOT of dance games - think DanceDance Revolution but it's called In The Groove [ITG]

Playing/watching my friends play video games

Doing yoga, watching the same shows over and over, cooking.

Really, I can be convinced to like anything if given enough exposure.

RANDOM ENJOYMENTS: Amusement parks, physical comedy, sleeping, watching speedruns on Twitch, sunshine, sending memes to friends, going to farmer's markets

LIVEJOURNAL
HOW WELL DOES YOUR LIVEJOURNAL REPRESENT WHO YOU ACTUALLY ARE?: I think my LJ is generally a good representation of who I am with gaps in time. I might make others look better than they are, but not usually myself. Sometimes I feel like if I write about a thing, it makes it *real*, so I avoid it
.
HOW MUCH ABOUT YOUR LIFE DO YOU POST TO LJ?: Basically everything. I make a few private entries here and there, but I like to share everything, because I like when others do the same. There are times when I just don't think of putting something on LJ, but that's usually an accident.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU REFUSE TO POST ABOUT?: Not really. I don't get political on LJ other than passing comments.

HOW DID YOU COME TO FIND LJ?: My friend Suzi gave me a LiveJournal code back in the days when they were a thing - 2003. Prior to that I had blogged on Blurty (and loved the classic HTML-style of being able to modify the page). Oh the good-old basic HTML days :) I journaled on GreatestJournal during my high school and early college years, and I was in the process of moving my entries over when GJ went off the grid. I lost 2-3 solid years.

WHAT PROPORTION OF YOUR POSTS ARE FRIENDS ONLY?: 98%. Habit from being a teacher. I also make entries about my family friends-only.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU RESPOND TO/READ OTHER PEOPLE'S JOURNALS?: I always read other journals, and I comment when I have something to add or if I want to provide support. I definitely "heart" journals to show that I read them and give support, but I'm not sure what to add.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMETHING MEAN SAID TO YOU OR BEEN STALKED, HARASSED, OR GOT INTO TROUBLE AS A RESULT OF LJ?: When I was in high school, a girl who hated me pored through my GreatestJournal and copy/pasted every mean thing I said about our band director into one huge document and presented it to him, who in turn gave it to the principal, who in turn scheduled a mediation. The band director told me to my face that he was afraid I would murder him and his wife (not only was I 5'2, 110 pounds at the time but I never once threatened his life on my journals, just talked about how much I hated him). The prinicipal told me he thought the information needed to be turned over to the police until I pointed out that the broken sentences weren't a psycho rant, but had been gleaned from YEARS' worth of entries. Then his entire tone changed and he was fine. The director took it very personally though. Thankfully this happened late into my junior year and I did PSEO for my senior year, 3 hours away. Otherwise band would have been incredibly awkward.

IS YOUR SPOUSE ON LJ? DO THEY READ YOURS?: No and sometimes. Steve is interested in my LJ and reads occasionally. He keeps a Backloggery of all of our video games (at the time of this writing we own 3145 games, less than 200 of which are digital) and that's his online persona, along with Twitter (which I don't use).

silver_tiamat,

sambanova,

namidanotsuki ... You guys are really all I'm friends with on LJ! >_<

1. How many clowns would it take to freak you out? Or, what does freak you out?
I'm not afraid of clowns, but I don't *like* them. They ARE weird. What freaks me out is velociraptors, courtesy of Jurassic Park. THERE IS NO WAY TO BEAT THEM. They will always be more clever and have more friends than me, so I would lose to them every time and get my flesh torn off.

2. What is your favorite card game?
...Tetra Master from FFIX? Anyone? I played that game soooo much! I was actually disappointed that my competitors didn't have the variety of cards I wanted. Otherwise I like Progressive Rummy, and Uno. And Apples to Apples if that counts.

3. Are the undies you're wearing right now age appropriate?
Yes? Aren't they always? Cutesy bikinis. They got peace signs.

4. What's the last new thing you watched?
I watched the anime School Days. It starts out super cute, and pretty graphics, and then just spirals out of control. It's only 12 episodes. All of my friends watched it before me and told me how sad I was going to be, but... I wasn't. Barely at all. I was far more angry/annoyed/shocked/confused than sad. The main character is a douchebag and reaps what he sowed. I woulda punched him in the face so hard if I was in that universe! I wanted to watch it since everyone else has seen it, and because it sounded a lot like Higurashi or Clannad. I enjoyed it, and the icon I'm using for this entry is a screencap I took from an episode, but I wouldn't want to watch it again, probably ever.

5. You have to be somewhere on the fourth floor of a building. Do you take the lift/elevator?
Only if I'm unsure where the stairs are, or if I'm with someone who chooses the elevator. Walking is always acceptable!

6. How do you feel about your reflection?
Not so good. Especially when Steve said, "You have more of a double-chin when you're over 130, but it's not a *bad* thing!" XD He said it genuinely and I wasn't mad at him, but I hate when the things I think about myself are true. Haaaate myself right now. I was getting really excited about the weather so I could go running/walking or something, and then it freezing rained/sleeted tonight and we're back to shitty, slushy, icy bullshit.

7. What are you thinking about right now?
Steve, and what I want to be doing at work tonight. And how I just spilled tea on my shirt because I can never aim the mug at my mouth properly.

8. Write the first word that comes to mind.
Word.

9. Dog person or cat person?
Cats fa sho! They're the best.

10. If you came across $2,000 (or other currency) would you keep it or turn it in?
Depends where I found it. If I found it in a random parking lot, I wouldn't know where to turn it in. Especially at places like that, they usually get to keep it if no one claims it. Even if I turned it into the cops, is the person really going to go looking for it there? And wtf, is it CASH? Who loses $2000 in cash? But yeah, if it was a high amount, I'd put a claim on it and turn it into the police station I suppose.

11. What was the last thing that you bought?
Groceries!

12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Japan!

13. Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hopefully moving to the west, like Oregon :D Otherwise, maybe getting with-child (or adopting), being successful at my career, owning a house.

14. Last book you've read?
"Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads" by Christine Avanti. Otherwise I read Strawberry Panic manga (it just ENDS. Like, they didn't get funding to finish the series or something. It was not cool)

15. What are you doing this weekend?
Possibly going rollerblading at the Metrodome with some family, and going out to dinner to celebrate my new job. Otherwise, I think we're just packing and relaxing.

16. What do you do to cheer yourself up after a bad day?
I sleep, or vent, or cuddle. Usually all of them. Especially if Steve has to work, I love laying in bed with the cats as my company. I pet Grim and bury my face in his fur and breathe his lovely kitty smell. I'll usually have a random show I love in the background. If it's summer, I might lay outside listening to music or go for a walk. I also like going to the bookstore and picking out a new book, whether it's manga, fiction, or whatever I'm passionate about at the time (currently it's cooking and nutrition!). Or buying a game.

17. How are you?
I'm getting better! I had a breakdown a couple days ago - not a big one, but one where I just had too much built up and I leaked for awhile and talked it out with Steve and resolved to get out of my depression spiral. I even didn't take a 3-hour nap yesterday! It's a feat when you think about how I've been living for the past month. I'm super dissatisfied with my body, though, and it's affecting me a lot. I might be making excuses but I currently truly believe that once I can get OUTSIDE (in NOT 30-degree or lower weather - I need it to be warm), that I will be able to lose weight again.

On the whole, I actually think it's quite accurate - almost to the point of 90-95%. I know this could be falling victim to horoscope syndrome - that is, talking generalities that are likely to apply to everyone, because they'll mold it to fit their personal schemas. However, I found it quite interesting how it talks about how I want to be considered special, and that I need others to fortify my worth and esteem. Because... I AM like that. I'm needy and insecure. I DO watch others closely and how they react to me, which isn't true of a lot of people I know. A lot of people are not cognizant.

I have been feeling stuck and isolated lately. Even tonight: Lindsey texted (mass text) saying there's going to be bowling and drinking and laser tag on Thursday. Just like the last 39586 fun nights, it's on a weekday, and at NIGHT, so I can't go. I asked her how come nothing's ever on a weekend or Friday anymore, and she said, "Well Holly works on the weekends and so do I." So to me, that means as a lesser tier person I have to suck it up or not go. And I CAN'T go. Because I work.

I am sensitive, I am irritable. I would use these two to describe me, in full earnest. I don't like high-maintenance relationships. I AM having job issues, and compromising my life. I do have an uncontrollable need to please people and I want recognition (though this is definitely not a major issue for me at the moment). I do get stubborn when I'm hurt.

The only thing that really does not fit AT ALL is the part about not being able to find a person with the same values as me. Wayyyy off.

All in all, very interesting!

( First, caught in the act of adorable- )

( Next, a survey pilfered from Athena! )

My back hurts. I'm working with someone other than Isaac tonight, and I don't really like her. She's spent a good deal of the evening wandering around talking on her phone, which bothers me for some reason. She decided that she plays the role of Maid, while I do the Hard Labor. Which is fine in some ways, and weird in others. She's african american and has a very thick accent from wherever she's from. But she cleaned all the bathrooms and like, did laundry, while I swept and mopped the house. I also wrapped ALL the presents for clients - cd/radios. I wrapped 18 of them in this tiny 3x4-ft space (the only space on the floor) because she claimed my office as hers for the night and I got shunned to the administrative assistant's office. So that's why my back hurts.

I've been feeling down lately. Not depressed, per se, but more irritable. I've been saying bitchy things for no reason, and I'm back to wanting only to sleep all the time. I'm really discontent, and I don't know why, exactly. Which is also a contributor as to why I've been neglecting things like LJ, emails, even ignoring calls for when I was going to volunteer (I don't care about that anymore anyway right now cause I already graduated). I love DDR but whenever Steve asks if I want to play, I mope and drag me feet and a lot of the time don't end up playing. I love Golden Sun but have been playing woefully little of that. All I can seem to do is watch Netflix and cuddle with the cats.

Rose (the coworker) just used the bathroom and opened the door BEFORE flushing, WHILE ON THE PHONE, and she did not wash her hands. I mean, I'll admit that I'm not the most perfect of handwashers sometimes (I rarely get pee on myself, etc.), but COME ON! You're using the company phone! ewww! Why is it more gross when strangers don't wash their hands than like, close family? It's like we assume they're dirtier than everyone else. I'm far from a germaphobe so I probably have a higher tolerance than most, but this... no.

I got my hair done last Saturday. Jenny was playing around a bit and is starting to move my hair more to black. I don't think I'll go all the way black, but she put in a lot of thin chunks of dark brown and purple (which with my hair quickly becomes a red). I haven't warmed up to it almost at all even though I missed having my hair brown vs the dull blonde it has been for awhile now. Everyone else seems to love it though, and that's good, since they have to see it a lot more frequently than I do. It's also really short so I can put off going back for just a bit longer.

( Haven't done one in awhile... )
