Get to Know Me Tag

Thank you to @lurkingshan and @befuddledcinnamonroll for tagging me!

Do you make your bed?

Ehhh, kinda? I pull the covers up because if I don't I'm likely to trip over them. It's happened.

What’s your favorite number?

What is your job?

I work in auto insurance claims.

If you could go back to school, would you?

No - if I had more time, money, spoons, dedication, etc then maybe I'd consider going back to finish college. The thought of it fills me with anxiety and dread, so that's not in the cards for me.

Can you parallel park?

More or less, but we barely do it here, and I prefer not too.

A job you had that would surprise people?

Published author.

Do you think aliens are real?

Maybe. I think we have to allow for the possibility.

Can you drive a manual car?

No.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

Cheesy, ridiculous Christmas movies. Royalty, time travel, small towns, Christmas tree farms - you name it, I am there and loving of all of it.

Tattoos?

None - I've never loved something enough to get it tattoo'd. If I ever got one, I think it would be my son's name and birthdate, but I don't know if I ever will.

Favorite color?

Blue

Favorite type of music?

I cycle through a few genres depending on my mood. Generally, I prefer pop, but I also like some country, alternative, as well as other genres.

Do you like puzzles?

YES. I love them a lot.

Any phobias?

Heights, Falling, Insects (Spider and otherwise - if it crawls or flies, I'm out), Mannequins (incidentally, I think this is also where my phobia of dead bodies comes from), Clowns.

These are just the ones I can think of. Ya'll, it's a wonder I function on a daily basis, lol.

Favorite childhood sport?

Badminton or volleyball. I was halfway decent at both in gym class.

Do you talk to yourself?

Sure - usually commentary like "Ugh I did not mean to do that!" etc. Most of the time I just hum or make noise at myself. I do talk to inanimate objects, especially if I'm irritated with them, lol.

What movies do you adore?

Way too many.

Coffee or tea?

Both - currently I'm drinking more coffee, but when I'm not feeling well I will drink tons of hot tea.

First thing you wanted to be growing up?

An author. Which happened, so... yay.

I'm not sure who else to tag. Consider this a free for all tag - if you haven't done this and you want to, please do!

Oh my goodness

Hello to anyone who remembers me. Real life and mental health both sank their claws into me. I've been avoiding social media because... well, many reasons but most because I feel like I'm a big ol' disappointment.

But today, I've come here like the humble whore I am to ask for a beta. Before you get excited, I have to warn you that it's not for Marvel, which (if you remember me) is what you likely know me for writing. Read on for an explanation about where the fuck I've been and what fandom I've spiraled down into lately.

In 2019-2020, I had a lot of grieving to do for some close loved ones who passed on. This led to a really shitty space for my mental health where I went into a functioning depression. I was doing things, but only the bare minimum required to exist without people catching on that I was in a bad mental space. I can't say I've completely kicked that, but I'm trying to do better. At the same time, I had a bunch of stuff going on a work. Specifically, I work for a team of advisors who provide financial planning services to individuals/families. I was promoted to an associate in 2020 and then we went through a merger with a larger firm in 2022. So, work has been crazy with me taking on additional responsibilities and working to build new processes after the merger. In addition, I managed to finish my bachelor's (20 years after I dropped out of college!) and take classes toward getting a CFP designation over the past 2 years. I'm scheduled to take the CFP exam in November. It's a 6-hour bear of a test covering pretty much all aspects of personal financial planning. And then next year I'll be continuing with my team as an advisor myself. Do I have anxiety? Fuck, yes. But I'm trying to stop cockblocking myself on the career front.

ANYWAY, enough with the boring stuff. I've been drowning in material for classes and studies with so little fun in my life. Somehow I got on CODTok (Call of Duty) and my little imagination ran wild as I watched these absolutely filthy edits of those boys. And for the first time in a long time, I felt that itch to write. I really should be focusing on studying for this exam, but all work and no play isn't fun. It's taken me 3 years to learn that lesson, but it has managed to finally sink into my thick skull.

My problem is that I know virtually nothing about Call of Duty because I don't like video games. As for the characters--I only know minimal info (mostly from YouTube videos and a COD wiki). It would be nice to have someone more knowledgeable than me to look over what I've written. And if not that, then it would be nice to have anyone other than me give it a beta read to point out my stupid mistakes or plot holes. I have about 16 pages of a Ghost/OFC written. It's my usual--heavy on the dialogue and sexual tension with a side of plot/action. I don't know how fast I'll be at writing this. Work is kicking my ass and I still need to dedicate my weekends to studying for this test. But if you're willing to take a little ride with me, I'd love some input. Send me a message or email me at [email protected] if you're interested. I miss and love ya'll.
