Sigh. So I have decided to start a blog, because there are a lot of thoughts in my head which would make me sound crazy if I just shared them with people I know in person, as most of the time they are fantastical non-sequiturs.

I also used to have a Livejournal in which I would write at length, but then that format became cumbersome and passé. I update things in Facebook, but not in a fully thought-out, blog format.

So we come to this. I suppose I should start with a quick background, so that anything I reference in this blog doesn’t only make sense to me.

I am a female in my late 20’s, overweight, tattooed, and I own 4 cats. Technically, I own 2 cats, but I live with my boyfriend and he owns two cats as well so in the interest of living a connected life with him I just say I own 4 cats. That sounds like a lot of cats when I write it out. Luckily they are well-behaved and it doesn’t feel like there are 4 cats in our house most of the time. I know I am just trying to justify my owning 4 cats and trying to make it not sound like I am crazy cat lady, but I have to live with the reality that I am.

I am currently unemployed by my own choice and am going through the processes to acquire a new job. BF and I are planning on moving to another state soon, so there are a lot of different things going on in my life right now which are extremely stress-inducing (and probably the reason for me creating this blog—better than binge-drinking!)

My computer crashed while I was typing the above, so I think I’ll just post the rest of this first post in list format. Here are things about me:

 -  I am a regular smoker. I am not quitting anytime soon. It was either this or coke, so I like to think I made a good choice.

 -  I guess I’m an artist. That word holds so many stigmas nowadays in terms of the internet. I am an artist in the sense that I draw, paint, sculpt, make electronic music, and do photography. Went to college for the last one, even. Though every job since college has been customer service. Because I refuse to do wedding photography.

 -  I am a huge-ass nerd. I used to play DnD (Dungeons and Dragons), I play video games regularly (right now Minecraft), and I know how to build a computer. I listen to fantasy metal. I read books with magic and dragons in them. Read the title of this blog again.

 -  I will not censor myself in this blog. I can have a dirty mouth. Hence the adult setting on here.

 - I do not know how to drive a manual-transmission car.

 - I used to write a draw a webcomic which was updated weekly and featured anthropomorphic dragons and gratuitous violence, but then I graduated college and had much less free time to draw.

 -  I knit and crochet. I will most likely post pictures of what I make on here. But this will not be a knitting blog. Oh, trust me, it won’t be.

I think that’s enough for now. Here’s a picture of a unicorn I just drew on some scrap paper to help keep the theme of the title of my blog:

I used to draw horses all the time growing up and they always faced left.
