The Mouthy Bitch

My basic user profile is right on my blog and tells you a bit about me. Then there is this post, which gives you a little bit more of me. So, now I guess, is where I tell you more :)

Texas Pride till I die!!

I am a displaced southern girl. Born and raised in Texas for most of my life and then I was moved to Oregon, where I have resided for most of the last decade by my mother. While her reasoning may have been good, I was a very bitter teenage girl when I moved to Oregon. It has grown on me little by little every year that I have been here. It is beautiful. But I miss my home state terribly (possibly just the heat and my wonderful family LoL) and wish to visit often.

I can be a rather loud person (I've been told it's because I am Italian, Irish, German, and Welsh but that is debatable LoL) but I am quite possibly one of the quietest people in my family (well my half Italian father's side of the family anyhow LoL). I am strongly opinionated though very open-minded. I am blunt since I don't see any point in lying or candy coating the truth. I have no problem for standing up for what I believe in. I am not out to win some popularity contest or make hundreds of friends, so I don't really give a rat's ass what people think of me. I couldn't live without music--listening to it or playing it (I play the clarinett!). It soothes my soul.

I love to write. I have been doing it quite possibly my whole life LoL For as long as I can remember I have always been doing some sort of writing. It started with short stories and moved onto lengthy diary entries. Once I hit the 8th grade, thanks to a wonderful English teacher I had, I dove head first into poetry. I have just under 400 of them!! While I don't think most of them are good, I have been told by many people that they are indeed well written. Perhaps I will get them organized properly one day and actually get around to publishing them in a book. Speaking of books, I am in the process of writing one of those too. I've only just started so I have no idea when it will be done--especially since I haven't recently set aside time to work on it. I may or may not keep you guys periodically updated on my progress on that. As of earlier this year, I have also taken up blogging. It helps keep me sane :)

I am (at this moment in time) 25 years old. I did graduate high school and I graduated from the local community college with an Associates Transfer Degree. I didn't, however, finish getting my bachelor's/master's degrees for various personal reasons. Once I get my loans paid off I am going back to finish. I was (and will be again soon I hope) majoring in Education and Learning with a Special Education endorsement and minoring in Psychology. My ultimate goal is to work with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have worked with them in the past as an aide and that is where I found my passion to be. I have always known from an early age that I was going to teach one day, but working with those wonderful children and really getting through to them is what my heart desires. And for whatever reason, I can connect with them. I love it!!

And I'll be his till the end of time!

I have never been married before--though that doesn't mean I haven't dodged the bullet a few times. Last year I finally agreed to date the man I am now with. He is also Texas born and raised. A true southern gentleman and tough as nails when he needs to be. He has been my best friend since we met ten years ago. He knows everything about me. Every secret, every fear, every desire. He has seen every single side of me, good and bad, and still loves me just the same. He takes it all in stride with a smile, a hug, and kiss every single time. He is understanding and supportive. He is also the one person who can keep me mostly sane and can always bring things back into perspective for me. He has no problem telling me I am wrong and how much of a pain in the ass I can be but I know he loves me for me and that's what matters.

So I guess I've probable rambled on enough about myself....That's probably more than most of you want to know about me--at least for now I suppose LoL Keep tuned in for some more rantings!!
