i never know how to answer something like this. i'm me.

right now, i'm in a relationship. my other half is a bit out of it due to migraines. we have a house, but it's smaller than i'd like and we don't utilize the basement in the best way, which makes the house seem smaller.

i work in design and i love it in general ... but not so much where i'm at right now - it's not bad, but it's not what i want.

mostly, i'm tired of fighting.

i lived in 3 cities in texas and 4 homes; 1 home in new mexico, 1 in oklahoma, 1 in indiana before starting kindergarten. i changed elementary schools 4 times and went to 2 jr. highs, so consistency was not only not a part of my schooling, but not a big priority for my parents, either.

i've survived the insanity of my parents because i'm a very stubborn fighter. no matter what they threw at me or did.

i was diagnosed with cancer in 1999 when i didn't have health insurance. so my perfect credit was destroyed and i had to declare bankruptcy. but hey, i eventually kicked its ass.

i've never really understood other people, so i've never had many friends. i was "that weird kid," but i liked who i was, so i didn't really much care. just sometimes wished everyone else didn't think i was *that* odd.

i want to adopt.

i want to be an excellent illustrator who is respected and decently compensated; a designer with steady work, doing what I love.

i want a house big enough to comfortably build my fisher price town/museum and the time and leisure to sponsor tours of it.
