Alison

I am a complicated, sometimes crazy girl with a great sense of humor. I'm a very caring person; I love animals, to the extent that right now I make my living sticking thermometers up their butts and poking them with needles ( well, among other things) at an animal hospital. I used to work in boarding and daycamp- basically I kept the dogs happy & played with them all day. (This is at a party, but could also be a regular day on the job for me)!
This is what work used to be like. Well...add about 30+ dogs.
My passion is in the arts, but I've kinda strayed from that...I've been on a leave of absence for a year, but in the fall I will return to State & go back to the arts. I almost went to Vet Tech school (mostly because it was convenient- I already work in the field!), but decided to follow my heart & go back to study the things I love; theatre, music, art, set-design, Literature, & musical theatre.
I like my men intelligent and affectionate, with a lot of special interests/hobbies. I've been with too many guys who sit in front of the tube all day, play video games, & smoke weed. I like to be around people I can learn from, & have good conversations with because I get bored with people easily. Ever since I quit drugs & alcohol I've had so many amazing opportunities come my way- none of which I would've been able to do loaded. Don't get me wrong, it is very hard to stay sober, especially because everywhere I go Mary Jane follows! When I feel like I'm slipping, I just picture how my life used to be-- how I accomplished nothing, had no goals, & didn't think beyond how to get money for my next sack or drink. AA & MA helped me get my life back.
