About Me: I love travelling and book collecting (generally with relevance to where I am at the time). I have an Associates of Science in Intelligence Operations and a B.A. in English Literature, focused on Medieval Studies. Working on an MLIS, I hope to work in an archive with a decent collection. I’ve been writing all my life, and it’s gotten me through many tough times. For the last decade, I’ve worked on a rather complex series of fantasy novels. No, I’m not published. Yes, I write anyway, because I want to. Writing has always been therapeutic for me, from writing in my prayer journal, to a regular journal, and this blog. I’m a bit of a blunt person, so forgive me if anything I say sounds brash or offends your sensibilities. I attended a fine arts, college prep school most of life and hated most every second of it. Loved the music bits, hated the people bits. I’m an introvert and going to a school that prided itself in its grand, musical productions wasn’t really my cup of tea. My senior year was nice though, because I was the assistant director of the pit, and therefore only had to talk to select people. College happened, then the military happened, then broken hips happened, college happened again, and now I’m here on this blog to tell you that no matter what life throws at you, you can learn to throw it back at life a hell of lot harder than you did before. I got married about seven months ago to the greatest man to ever live (you can try to fight me on this, but you will lose), and it’s been the smoothest seven months of my life so far. People tell you not to get married while you’re in college, but those people can suck it. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I digress. I live in a one room apartment with awesome husband and out five birds: Winry, Jimothy, Benjamin, Leslie, and Christopher. Winry is a baby Indian Ringneck who enjoys chewing on literally anything in front of her and taking ridiculously long baths in her drinking water. Jimothy is a cockatiel that was in a store for a little too long and therefore took awhile to get used to humans. He’s a cuddle monster now, unrepentant. He’s also a horndog, unfortunately, with a heart for anything. He will do the mating dance for one bird, Benjamin, but also for the top of the fan, a picture on top of one of the book cases, and his own reflection. Benjamin is a smol, opaline parakeet who can fly even with clipped wings and enjoys preening, lusting after Leslie, and following Jimothy around. Leslie is a blue parakeet who loves everyone even when they don’t want her to. She like preening herself and others, being carried on the Human’s shoulders, and hijacking Benjamin from Jimothy. Lastly, a soft spot goes out to Christopher, God bless his tiny little heart. He was rescued from a grocery bag that someone was trying to throw him away in. We won’t talk about that idiot though, instead we will talk about the idiot that is Chris. He was missing many many feathers when brought home, but he’s grown them all back in shiny, fluffiness. He is a yellow parakeet who likes to think he’s a bat. He gets along with everyone and everyone loves him (I think it’s because they all know he’s an idiot). That’s my life thus far, the crazy bird lady who also happens to be able to do more push ups and sit ups than her husband (I go to the gym more than he does though, so???). I enjoy sparring and writing, mainly writing, but I do enjoy watching someone’s face when they realize that they’ve lost to a 5’3”, 107lb female. I also enjoy memes and Broadway musicals. In fact, I’ve written on memes as they relate to the latest pidgin language growing around the world, and musicals as they relate to the status of each generation. Well, That’s it for this column! Thanks for reading, Yours truly, Estelle Noire |
