About Me

I'm a simple creature, really. If my jeans and sweatshirt aren’t impressive enough for you, you are probably too high maintenance for me. I am a grammar snob. I will make fun of you at some point if you make repeated grammatical errors. I work, go to school, and raise three children on my own. This translates to, “I’m borderline insane. Don’t piss me off. I will kick you in the shin.” I love silly blinking icons. These are about as flashy as I get.
