Calling For Rain

I am a 21 year old, married female that likes to consider herself an writer. It is said that you are only a writer every day that you write, so I am trying to write at least a little something every single day. Sometimes it is working on my novel, occasionally it is for Associated Content, but most of the time it is for one of my blogs.

I used to go to college, but found like many others that it wasn't for me. It isn't that I'm not smart, because I am very intelligent. When I can learn more in one day on the internet than I can in an entire month of classes...what does that say? I believe in self education. Teach yourself something new every day.

I'm pretty much a nerd when it comes to vampires and werewolves. I love dark fantasy novels. I drink them up like a man dying of thirst in the desert...Err, woman if you insist. Basically what I am saying is it is impossible to drag me away from a good book. I'll hide in my room and won't come out until I have finished.

I'm painfully shy in person. My hands start to sweat and my heart pounds against my chest so loudly that I am sure the other person can hear it. I feel like I'm going to throw up. It is generally an unpleasant experience until I feel comfortable with someone. Then I am as loud and obnoxious as can be. I laugh a lot. I have a loud laugh.

I have strange phobias. I don't like my shoes to be laced to tightly because my feet get claustrophobic...That's my way of saying that I feel claustrophobic. I hate being in my bedroom with the door open. I'll almost always get up and close the door.

I don't like or eat potatoes except for chips and McDonald's french fries. Specifically McDonald's. I still sleep with three stuffed animals. My laptop is practically one of my appendages. I'm about 90% certain that I have an auditory processing disorder. My husband is a Marine, so I moved to North Carolina pretty recently. I have strangely thick eyebrows. I definitely bite my nails. I thought I had kicked the habit, but I was wrong.
