my nerdiness goes way back to childhood love for reading rainbow, science experiments, dinosaurs and my rock collection . i never outgrew my curiosity, my imagination, or my love of learning. i've got a cool collection of local fossils and native american artifacts, a diminished but still well-loved stack of mostly alan moore comics, i also own a tv now for the first time in years but i've never actually used it- although that may soon change as i'm thinking of buying a ps4 in order to play more borderlands3. i enjoy all different kinds of games; card games and poker, drinking games, board games, y video juegos, i love playing 8-ball, and i'm a beast on a foosball table. creating art, fixing stuff and generally making things more functional and aesthetically pleasing is my jam
during covid i got laid off and eventually lost my job, i had been working as a bartender for over 10 years and at the time that whole industry was in jeopardy. with nothing else to do, i went back to school after nearly 20 years, and eventually graduated from ozarks technical college in '22 with an a.a.s. in auto body and collision repair. i've always had a "tomboy" streak (a term i just realized may be now thought of as antiquated if not offensive) i like hunting, fishing, working on cars, and listening to cardinals baseball on the radio. but i also have a definite girly streak too. to quote redneck woman ,gretchen wilson, " the boys say i clean up good " , i love getting dolled up for a night out...or if you're lucky maybe just for a surprise to make you raise your eyebrows then lower the blinds when i wanna stay in
