A Little Bit About Me

Introduction: My name is Samantha, but you can call me Sam. I figured I would get that out of the way for people that will ask if they can call me that, and go ahead and give permission to those people that don't ask. (I don't know why, but I'm a little picky about people just presuming they can. Not immediately anyway. It speaks a familiarity that not everyone is entitled to.) I have many nicknames, but Sam is the obvious choice. If, along the way, you come up with one for me too, cool. If I don't like it, I will tell you! If I don’t like it, but I really like you, I will still tell you, but I will tell you that it’s ok with me if you call me that. (unless it's rude!) *smile*


DOB: My birthday is November 4th, but you knew that right? Isn't that day on everyone's calendar? hehe My age? Well, I have no problem with my age, but I don't just tell people. It adds a bit of mystery lol Plus it's the one thing I can lie about if I want to. To look at me, well, I look young. Being a November baby makes me a Scorpio, which I think is rad. Anyway, back to the "number" - Old enough to buy my own drinks (legally, which is 21 in the States) but not old enough to be a Senior Citizen (which I think is 65).


Geography: I currently live in South Carolina. I have lived most of my life here. There was a brief stint in Alabama (reasons for that may come about later. IF they do, it will be much later I’m guessing). I’m originally from Florida. I may be from the South, but I am NOT Southern! Actually, that isn't true. I am Southern, I'm just not "Country."


Photo: I will post one in the next day or so. It'll have to be a picture I like though lol I don't know what it is. I'm not a bad looking lady IMO, but I am so very un-photogenic.


Family Life: I have a lot of family. Step family, half-siblings, literally and figuratively adopted family, common law family, in laws... The family keeps on going! hehe It's all family though. We don't use the terms "half" or "step" or anything like that. It's just a technicality. The people I iwll probably mention the most are my parents aka Mom & Dad, my siblings aka Ben & Kris, my sister-in-law aka Jenn & my nieces/nephew Elliana, Aislyn & Keegan.


The Animal Kingdom:  I have a kitty. Her name is Riley. She's a Torti & a Calico (I call it a Tortico). I also often claim/talk about the animals at my parents' house since they were family pets and used to be mine too. Sometimes when I find an interesting bug/animal or just ones that strike my fancy, I will name them lol Hey, I never said I wasn’t weird.


 Entertainment: I read a lot, but I also enjoy movies a lot too. I do watch TV, but I don’t generally keep current with any shows (Except True Blood and Burn Notice). Everything else I just watch here and there. More often than not it is background noise. Music is a big deal. I am also into Photography. Fashion, although not so much with keeping up with it. I just like clothes and shoes and things lol So maybe that is more like shopping *smile* Cooking/Baking. Pretty much anything Sciency (and technical words like sciency!). I <3 Geeks and Nerds. Pin-ups. Geishas and Lolitas! (Kind of makes me sound like I have a thing for risque women hehe) Comedy/Humor. Vampires (of course! But this goes way, way back.) Sharpies. Travel. Zoos.




Lifestyle: Bet you thought I was going to talk about my sexuality (relatively straight. Ask if you must know what that means) or being a vegan (I’m not. Bring on the steak AND the asparagus!) but I’m not. It’s a different kind of lifestyle. The life of a Diabetic (Type 1) Long term. Some times I may post about that and it may be boring or whiny to those it doesn’t concern in anyway. But for me it is a big deal. Been coping with it probably longer than some of you have been alive. Just a heads up!


Misc:  Social drinker, non-smoker. Never been married. No kids (other than the fur babies). My sense of humor ranges from one kind to another. I am awesome. (I tell myself that often. You've been warned.)


Ok, I think that is enough for the moment. While reading fascinating facts about yours truly, you got to experience my awesomeness! my charm! my fantastic writing skills AND my amazing humor. I’m totally being fascetious here, but hey if you agree, I’m not going to argue with you.
