User Profile

I'm 28 years old, I love my job, I play World of Warcraft with or without my husband. I'm currently on Elune as a level 54 priestess, Raekitten, I do alright by myself, not fantastic, but I enjoy it and it's quite the stress reliever, so there you go.

What else, well, I used to be a Front Desk Manager of a hotel in New Mexico. I'm not going to say where and I'm not going to give you the name of the hotel either because honestly I don't want anyone to come looking for me. :) Then I got a job as a Membership Director at a Country Club and six months later was told it was nothing personal, but it wasn't working out, so they let me go, then I worked for a company that verifies employment and education for other companies and two weeks before Christmas got laid off. Now I work for an insurance call center and love it, I really, really do.

My hubby and I were married in 2002 and we are currently trying for a family. I read fan fiction, although I have written one fic of my own, I am no where near as talented as the writers who are here. I enjoy reading, I'll read just about anything, the only thing I'm really squeamish about reading is romance novels, I prefer the Anita Blake series, Dresden Files, Stargate Atlantis, and murder mysteries and Stephen King to Daniele Steele.

I have a variety of interests and I try to be open minded. Living where I do has been an eye opener for me, I came from a town so small you couldn't find it on most maps, we didn't have traffic lights, just a stop sign and the occasional livestock. Okay, we had more than one stop sign, but you get the picture. I've gone from being small town farm kid to what I am today. I'm definitely not the person I envisioned myself becoming, but I'm happy with who I am and what I've done. I also enjoy tattoos, pin up art, and few other activities that growing up weren't discussed in my household. I think my Mom is somewhat amazed at how I turned out, I inherited my Dad's personality in a lot of ways, but I developed my own beliefs and values.

I don't write often in the journal, sometimes I write two or three times a day or more and then there are periods of time where I don't post for a week. Besides, I'm really not so interesting that someone would actually be interested in what I wrote, but if you are, then come on by and leave a comment, I look forward to hearing from you! If I ever complete the fan fictions I'm working on then I'll post them in my journal and see what happens. Otherwise hey if we have something in common, let me know, I like everything from rockabilly to just plain country, so check out the profile and see if we have something in common!

I enjoy making new friends, so if you find that we have some interest in common, please feel free to friend me!


Until next time, good night y'all!

You Know You're From New Mexico When...

You buy salsa by the gallon. You are still using the paper license tag that came with your car five years ago. Your favorite restaurant has a chile list instead of a wine list. You do all your shopping and banking at a drive-up window. Your Christmas decorations include "a yard of sand and 200 paper bags". You have license plates on your walls, but not on your car. Most restaurants you go to begin with "El" or "Los". You remember when Santa Fe was not like San Francisco. You hated Texans until the Californians moved in. The tires on your roof have more tread than the ones on your car. You price-shop for tortillas. You have an extra freezer just for green chile. You think a red light is merely a suggestion. You believe that using a turn signal is a sign of weakness. You don't make eye contact with other drivers because you can't tell how well armed they are just by looking. You think six tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful front lawn. You have to sign a waiver to buy hot coffee at a drive-up window. You ran for state legislature so you can speed legally. You pass on the right because that's the fast-lane. You have read a book while driving from Albuquerque to Las Vegas. You know they don't skate at the Ice House and the Newsstand doesn't sell newspapers. You think Sadies was better when it was in the bowling alley. You have used aluminum foil and duct tape to repair your air conditioner. You can't control your car on wet pavement. There is a piece of a UFO displayed in your home. You know that The Jesus Tortilla is not a band. You wish you had invested in the orange barrel business. You just got your fifth DWI and got elected to the state legislature in the same week. Your swamp cooler got knocked off your roof by a dust devil. You have been on TV more than three times telling about how your neighbor was shot or about your alien abduction. You can actually hear the Taos hum. All your out-of-state friends and relatives visit in October. You know Vegas is a town in the northeastern part of the state. You are afraid to drive through Mora and Espanola. You iron your jeans to "dress up". You don't see anything wrong with drive-up window liquor sales. Your other vehicle is also a pick-up truck. Two of your cousins are in Santa Fe, one in the legislature and the other in the state pen. You know the punch line to at least one Espanola joke. Your car is missing a fender or bumper. You have driven to an Indian Casino at 3am because you were hungry. You think the Lobos fight song is "Louie, Louie" You know whether you want "red or green." You're relieved when the pavement ends because the dirt road has fewer pot-holes. You can correctly pronounce Tesuque, Cerrillos, and Pojoaque. You have been told by at least one out-of-state vendor that they are going to charge you extra for "international" shipping. You expect to pay more if your house is made of mud. You can order your Big Mac with green chile. You see nothing odd when, in the conversations of the people in line around you at the grocery store, every other word of each sentence alternates between Spanish and English. You associate bridges with mud, not water. You know you will run into at least 3 cousins whenever you shop at Wal-Mart, Sam's or Home Depot. Tumbleweeds and various cacti in your yard are not weeds. They are your lawn. If you travel anywhere, no matter if just to run to the gas station, you must bring along a bottle of water and some moisturizer. Trailers are not referred to as trailers. They are houses. Double-wide trailers are "real" houses. A package of white flour tortillas is the exact same thing as a loaf of bread. You don't need to write it on your shopping list; it's a given. At any gathering, regardless of size, green chile stew, tortillas, and huge mounds of shredded cheese are mandatory. Prosperity can be readily determined by the number of horses you own. A tarantula on your porch is ordinary. A scorpion in your tub is ordinary. A poisonous centipede on your ceiling? Ordinary. A black widow crawling across your bed is terribly, terribly common. A rattlesnake is an occasional hiking hazard. No need to freak out. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from New Mexico.
