nansliceI haven't done one of these in a while and now seems like a good time. Stolen from a_natural_beauty, original by sound_of_silence
1. First Name: Amy, although all of my friends call me Nan irl.
2. Age: 39
3. Location: PNW baybeeeeee, specifically Seattle.
4. Occupation: funemployed while I figure out what my silly little brain is doing.
5. Significant Other: I'm married tocypher, also known in this journal as Will. We've been together since 2019 and got married this past April! I love them deeply. <3
6. Kids: None!
7. Brothers/Sisters: My sister from my mom's first marriage! I have three brothers and a sister from my dad's first marriage but we're not close; that sister died and I found out four years later. :\
8. Pets: Four cats: Penelope, a tuxedo; Spicy, a tortie; Waffle, a tortie; Nugget, a void. And my baby lil dog, Selphie, who I adopted when she was 5 weeks old and she's now 12 years old, omg, how does time fly like this? ;o;
9. List the 3 biggest things going on in your life:
3 -![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
battleshipex! I'm extremely excited to make this my entire personality for a while, lol.
2 - Homesteading! I thought I was done starting new things, then I started (indoors) 18 rattlesnake pole beans, 12 cranberry beans, 6 Sadie's horse beans, about a million of two different kinds of amaranths, and a bunch of zinnias, lol. Our tomatoes are loaded down with both green fruits and flowers, the 8 Sadie's horse beans that are already out are doing wonderfully (and have little bean pods forming aaaaaaahhhh), we've been eating zucchini with dinner almost every night this week, and the pumpkins are slowly growing little guys. ;3;
1 - Dealing with this ADHD diagnosis and mental health stuff. Which is going okay! Maybe!
10. Where and for what did you go to school? I dropped out of high school and got my GED, then went to a trade school and got my associate's in applied technology (a hopelessly dated degree lol), worked for a while, then went a private college and got my bachelor's in art. I only went to the private college because, as a non-traditional student (I was 26 when I started), my tuition and fees were basically cut in half.
11. Parents: My dad passed away of cancer eight years ago. I miss him every day. My mom is around and in pretty poor health (breast cancer); we live on opposite US coasts but talk almost every day.
12. Who are some of your closest friends? Will is my very bestest friend. My niece C is a very close friend, although she lives several states away. My cats and dogs, because who said friends had to be the same species. My immediately, physical circle is pretty quiet, and I will not lie, I am terribly lonely a lot of the time lmaooo.
