About Me

My name is Joy. I'm 23 and I've been living in Southeast Texas for 3 years. I'm a theatre enthusiast and I like to travel around to see different productions.I prefer musicals, and some favorites include CATS, Reefer Madness, Tommy, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Rocky Horror. I've been in a few productions, but have been most active in the Rocky Horror community. I've been in a regional production of the musical, as well as a shadow cast located in Easley, South Carolina. I also enjoy arts and crafts. Lately, I've been making and selling hemp jewelry. I'm just starting out, but contact me if you are interested for more info. If you meet me on the street, probably the most noticeable thing about me is that I sometimes use a wheelchair. I have a mild form of spina bifida, and I have bad balance which prevents me from walking too far. For most people, thats all they see, and that is how they identify me. I never think of myself as having a disability until I am reminded by someone else's ignorance. But I do pretty much what anyone else can do, and its never held me back. It's part of me, but not a big deal. I don't want to be someone's inspiration to make themselves feel better (The whole 'count your blessings because this girl can't walk' thing). I just want to live my life. I'm a liberal who is stuck in a conservative area.
