This is the story of a girl...

I live in a house in the forest with some humans, two dogs and two cats. I have worked since the age of fifteen and became a Certified Nurse Aide at sixteen. I am a Domestic Violence Advocate and work with for a anti abuse agency for over two years. I have never really given up on the nursing profession though I took a break, I am in school now getting an associates and hope to transfer to a bachelors nursing program when I graduate. 
    I have written almost since I can remember. I am the author of over sixty works of poetry and am working on one novel length book right now, with others in various stages of development. I often have pen smudges on my face and hands because I forget to put my pen down. 
   I will take pictures of almost anything (almost). I have an intense curiosity about life and how it works. I also study people and have thought about becoming a profiler for the government more than once. I want to travel to just about everywhere on the globe, probably as a disaster/relief/aide worker.  I like experiencing life, it is too short and too precious to miss. I have a friend who wanted doughnuts one night, he got in his car and drove to the doughnut factory, four hours away.  This explains a lot about why we are friends.
    I am in love with God, crazy as you may think me, it is the only way to explain it. I abhor religion, and am often deeply saddened by the ignorant things people do in the name of religion and God. I know Him as a Person, a Friend.
    I am from a Military family, and many of my friends are or have been in the Military.  So, this means I can make lifelong friends in about five minutes flat. Also, that I know the pledge of allegiance, what the stars and strips on our flag mean and incredible personal cost of even the small freedoms that I enjoy. 
    I am a contradiction in many ways. I  am very passionate about the things I care about and equally so about things I find unjust or wrong. I feel deeply, however, I rarely show emotion. I can do most things in life for myself but have recently learned to enjoy the help of true friends. I like walking in the rain but I don't like getting splashed in the pool. I learned a lot of my guiding principles from centuries past. I take friendship seriously, I am intensely loyal. I will take slights to myself with no retaliation, yet I am fiercely protective of friends and anyone else I feel that I need to  defend. I like raw tomatoes but not cooked. Yes, I can be random, a very dear friend taught me how. 
If you managed to stay with me thus far, congratulations. Comment if you want, I would like to get to know the community here.
