I guess maybe I should say more about what I have been up to...
hmmm, well! I'm a social worker and I work at a women's shelter currently. I run and anti-violence group with children and I do counselling. Never thought I'd ever go to university, but here I am with two BAs. I still enjoy doing art but I mostly do it on the side for now.
This is starting to look like a resume.
I still live at home.. but I am looking to move out this summer with my boyfriend.. who is actually more into video games than I am.. and equally charming.
Why is it that it seems a only a small paragraph sums up the past 10 years of my life?

Ok, now for the sappy part:
I have read a few people's posts about how this place helped them through their teenage years and I can really relate to that. I was a really shy kid growing up with not much confidence in myself. Coming on here, I fely accepted and I felt like I could be myself without being judged in the way that I had been at school. The people here kept me company when I am sure I would have felt pretty alone otherwise. For that I am very thankful.
