About me.

[herbal_dog]

I promise not to post quite so much. I won't swamp you by updating every single day. However, I thought I'd tell a little about me, not just my gender- and also, a little bit about what to expect me to post here.

I'm eighteen years old, and I am a recent high school graduate. I live in Mobile, Alabama, with my parents. I'm looking for a job so that I can pay for college, and hopefully find a roomie to move in with. I've most recently applied to help with the oil spill cleanup at BP. I hear that they're more likely to hire men, but I hope that my boating license will persuade them I am of use.

I'm a huge fan of sports, and I love American football. 2009 was an excellent year for me; my college team, Alabama Crimson Tide, won the National Championship for the 13th time. My pro team, the New Orleans Saints, won the Super Bowl for the first. I follow football actively, as you can see. I've participated in football, basketball, soccer, martial arts, spelunking, canoeing, and white water rafting. I hope to skydive in the future. I'm also a hunter and avid outdoorsman; the best times of my life are spent surrounded by nature. Oh yeah, by the way- I'm a furry, dog lover, and avid APBT enthusiast.

I'm a 420 supporter through and through. I have never done a drug that I would be ashamed to tell my mother about. I don't smoke cigarettes, abuse drugs, or drink often. As much flack as I catch for my body, I want it to last a long time.

Anything else you want to know, ask away.

Also, I'd like to throw it in that this isn't a strictly transition-related journal. Occasionally I might post musings about other things. But transitioning and other trans issues are what this journal will mostly be used for.

EDIT From now on, I'll try to include a TL;DR version. I think out loud too much.

I would love to work for the oil clean-up, but I've got too many obligations here to leave anytime soon...and I'm way more "central" than near a coast. :c Good luck with it, though! They probably need all the able hands they can get.

We have quite a bit in common, actually. My APBT says "hi," and you know very well that I'm in full support of marijuana legalization.

Plus. Who dat! :D

Yeah, well, it pays really well and it's something I'm passionate about; a lot of my family has experienced loss of business because of this. Many of them live near the beach and make their livelihoods from it. :/ I'd like to help if I have the opportunity.

Haha, brilliant! What's your dog's name? And yes, I'm quite aware. ;)

Who Dat is right! <3 Saints FTW!

Actually, amusingly, my dog's name is Sydney, and I call her "Syd" all the time. I'm super entertained by this. :D She's a Pit Bull/Australian Cattle Dog, technically, but she looks like a pibble. <3

And good luck with the job thing. I hope it works out. :)

That's cool! :D Aussies are cool dogs too. You've got a nice mix on your hands!

And thanks! I hope so too, hahaha.

What are you going to study in college once you go there?
(What are your fields of interest and job wishes?)

I'm hoping to study journalism as a major. I have always been very interested in the field of reporting, and other literature. I would love to work for a newspaper, I would also love to be an editor. I'm not very good at writing stories or coming up with plots so I wouldn't make a very good book author, but editing would be the next best thing.

I've always had an interest in news, too, so if I couldn't get a job with a newspaper or as an editor, I would like to work on the set of live news, perhaps as a cameraman.
